The Pampered Princess

Coffee - it’s not just for breakfast anymore!  If you enjoy the scent of a steaming cup of coffee, then do yourself a favor.  Take the time to savor the aroma and the flavor.  Whether you enjoy the coffee at home or at the local coffee shop, you can always find new ways to enjoy this old favorite. 

Here are some of my favorite coffee treats: 

• Coffee made with freshly ground flavored coffee beans
• French Vanilla Creamer (Coffee Mate has a nice version of this)
• Southern Butter Pecan Creamer (there is nothing like it!  Again, Coffee Mate)
• Starbuck’s Vanilla Latte, Mocha Latte, Cinnamon Latte, Caramel Lattte (They even have a ’skinny’ version!)
• Starbuck’s Vanilla Steamer (The “un-coffee”, a perfect calming, sweet, hot beverage for an evening treat)

I love to enjoy my coffee in an oversized mug, preferably in my flannel pj’s curled up in front of a good movie next to my sweetheart.

GIFT IT!

Gifting this one is a no-brainer.  Starbuck’s gift card - bada boom bata bang!  You’re done!  If you want to foo-foo it up, you can always put the card in a cute cup or a gift basket with other compliments, such as biscotti and swizzle sticks. 

There is nothing quite like a nice quiet evening at home with a glass of your favorite wine and the love of your life.  Add a plate of various cheeses and crackers to really compliment the flavor of the wine.  My love and I enjoy Magnificat with Baybel and Baby Swiss cheeses coupled with good old every day Wheat Thins.  Red wine is most commonly sipped at room temperature, but we love ours slightly chilled. 

Get this - you can enjoy this treat for $25 or less!

Gift It!

This is another easily gifted treat.  You can easily fill a gift basket or bag with the wines, cheeses and crackers of your choice.  Add Hersey Miniatures for a hint of chocolaty sweetness.
