Year-Round Gifts for Every PersonaliTEA

CEBU, Philippines - The new year ushers an opportunity to jumpstart and stick to resolutions such as spending more time with one’s family and showing our loved ones how much we care and appreciate them. One way to demonstrate this is by remembering special events like birthdays and giving personalized, thoughtful gifts that would match a recipient’s personality.

A helpful tip in personalizing presents is to include Twinings specialty teas in your gift bag. With its wide range of speciality tea blends, it is easy to match the recipient’s interests and hobbies with a tea that he or she will enjoy. Here are some gift ideas, personalized to suit different personaliTEAs:

1.Athletic brother – The athlete will always make use of equipment or paraphernalia that can be used with his preferred sport, be it soccer, basketball, boxing, or swimming. If you are not sure about the specific item to get, ask his coach, friend or teammate to suggest items that he may need or want. The options for sportswear and accessories are endless. Add a box of Twinings Flavoured Black Tea in the package to perk him up every morning before he heads out and enjoys his favourite sport. The unique combination of black tea and the delightful flavours of Apple, Cinnamon & Raisin, Peach, Four Red Fruits, Lemon, and Passion Fruit, Mango & Orange will surely get him going.

2.Health buff friend – Encourage your friend’s passion for health and wellness. If she’s into yoga, why not give her a new non-slip yoga mat or a lightweight, ultra-absorbent yoga towel in her favorite color? Another option is to give her a membership card to the nearest gym or health club. A cookbook with easy to make, healthy, delicious recipes can also be an alternative. To complete the gift ensemble, add a box of any of Twinings’ Green Tea blends which are perfect drinks for health-conscious loved ones. Not only will green tea help hydrate and refresh her after each workout, it also has numerous health benefits such as helping prevent cancer and lowering cholesterol levels.

3.Hardworking father – Help your father relax and unwind. If he enjoys listening to music, let him reminisce good old times with a CD compilation or an iPod loaded with his favorite songs. Another idea is to give him a travel pillow that would not only keep him comfortable but also provide neck support while he’s in the car or while watching his favorite show. If budget is sky’s the limit, splurge and surprise dad with a massage chair to relieve his sore muscles and ease aches at the end of the day. Match your gift with Twinings’ Fruit and Herbal Infusions such as Pure Flowers of Camomile, Strawberry & Mango, and Lemon Twist to complete his relaxing experience.

4.Life of the Party sister – If you have a sister who loves attending parties and social events, a gift that compliments this lifestyle will be most appreciated. Replenish her stock of make-up essentials or wrap up some skin rejuvenating products like facial masks and eye cream to help her prepare for the next big party. Include any of Twinings Black Tea – Earl Grey, Earl Grey Decaf, English Breakfast – in her box of goodies to invigorate and warm her senses the next morning.

5.Stay-at-home mom – Show appreciation for your mother’s nurturing nature. For the mother who has a green thumb, make sure she is protected when she tends to her garden by giving her a new pair of heavy-duty gardening gloves and a set of kneepads. If your mom loves to bake, give her smart baking tools such as an easy-grip pastry blender or an adjustable pastry board for a faster and more convenient baking experience. Twinings’ Fruit and Herbal Infusions such as Raspberry & Echinacea and Pure Peppermint will surely help her unwind as she takes a break from her favorite activity.

Make special occasions more exciting and meaningful for your family and friends by adding a thoughtful touch to gifts together with Twinings speciality teas, the perfect partner to any gift all year round.
