If you’re in search of gifts for people who love tea, you’ve come to the right place! Tea – it’s the world’s most consumed beverage (aside from water) whether hot, iced, sweet, or unsweetened, and it isn’t going anywhere. Tea has many forms: black tea, green tea (which has many health benefits btw), white tea, herbal tea, flavored teas – the list goes on. As such, there are many, many gifts made for the tea lovers in your life, many of which are fairly cheap. If you have family members or friends who love tea (and let’s face it, everybody does) or even if you love tea, then you need look no further for your holiday or birthday shopping guide. Keep reading, because below are 25 gifts for people who love tea all under $25!
Every tea drinker needs a classic stove top whistling kettle, and this is a good item to start, or to add to the collection. Available on Amazon, the Mr. Coffee Alderton tea kettle is stainless steel and holds 2.3 quarts, and is dishwasher safe. This tea kettle comes in a lovely teal-green or bright red color and an elegant twisted design, a treat for any tea lover.
Don’t get confused. A tea kettle and a teapot are not the same thing. A teapot is what you pour the hot water from the tea kettle in to steep the tea. So what’s better than a stylish cast iron teapot to hold the sacred liquid? The Old Dutch Cast Iron Sapporo Teapot, also available on Amazon, is a beautiful gift that comes in 20 ounces and has a variety of color options. The pot is also lined with porcelain so as not to affect the flavor of the tea while the cast iron keeps your tea nice and hot.
Of course, to drink tea, one needs a tea mug. What better mug than one that comes with an infuser? Available on Amazon for $19.63, the FORLIFE Curve Tall Tea Mug with a built-in infuser is just what the tea drinker on-the-go needs. It also comes in a variety of colors and even features a lid to avoid spills. Sometimes you just don’t have enough time for a whole pot of tea, and with this mug, you can put the amount of tea you want in the infuser and steep it in the mug, a perfect cup for the rush to work!
Sometimes the plain old metal basket tea infuser isn’t enough to brighten up your tea. That’s where this little guy comes in handy. The Fred & Friends MR. TEA tea infuser is made of silicone and shaped like a little man. The tea goes in his legs, which are full of holes, and he hangs onto the rim of the mug with his arms: a tiny man enjoying a hot tub of tea after a long day’s work.
If you or the tea lover in your life has ever complained about not being able to get the measurement of tea just right, then this is a perfect gift. Available on Amazon for $11.29, the Teavana Perfect Tea Spoon is specially designed to give the user the perfect measurement of tea so it’s not too strong but it’s not too weak, either. This is one of the cutest gifts for people who love tea!
Anybody who uses teabags instead of loose leaf tea will find the Norpro Tea Bag Squeezer invaluable. Priced at $5.60 on Amazon, this neat little tool is just what it says – and tea bag squeezer. You use it to squeeze the tea bag when you’re removing it to get every last drop of the delicious liquid. Out of all the gifts for people who love tea, this one is definitely necessary!
Anyone who drinks tea probably reads books, too. They probably drink tea while reading said books, what’s more. As such, the Vintage Silver Tea Spoon Bookmark, available on Etsy for $13, is perfect for those tea-drinking book readers. It is simply a little silver tea spoon folded over to act as a bookmark – you can even get it engraved with a small phrase or word, such as “Fell asleep here.” Delightful!
You read that right, but it’s not what you’re thinking. These cute little snail-shaped devices are made of silicone and come in a variety of colors. They clip onto the rim of your mug with their heads sticking up so you can wrap the string of your tea bag around them to prevent them from falling in, all for a measly $6 on Etsy.
If you’re like me and like organization, then this elegant and simple tea box is just for you. The Oceanstar Bamboo Tea Box, available on Amazon for $15, is made of bamboo with a glass window on the lid to see into the box. Eight compartments offer ample room for a variety of teas, either loose leaf or bags, and its light weight and smooth, rectangular design make it easy to move and store.
Sometimes the regular old refined white sugar just isn’t enough to sweeten up your favorite cup of tea – that’s where this product comes in. Teavana Perfectea Rock Sugar comes in a pound for $8.50 and is unrefined German rock sugar made from beets rather than sugar cane and appears brown-golden in color. The chunks of sugar can be ground up or added whole to a pot of tea or an individual cup, sweetening the tea without affecting the flavor.
Occasionally, one may find themselves lacking a stove to boil their tea water upon – that’s where the Best Electric Tea Kettle comes in handy. $19.99 on Amazon, this electric kettle is perfect for a cup of tea when traveling or when a stove just isn’t available. The kettle is cordless, so an outlet is not required either. It holds up to 2 liters of water, has an auto-shutoff feature, and is quite stylish.
Every tea drinker needs some tea clothes, so here is a tea shirt – get it? It’s literally a tee shirt that displays a lovely cup of tea, which says tea on it, and below it says shirt – tea shirt. Out of all the gifts for people who love tea, this is definitely the most fashionable!
