When these preferences of a person are unknown, it is better to buy or make a bouquet consisting of different types of tea, types of coffee, and supplement it with regular chocolate or candies.
If a person's tastes are known, you can experiment with combinations. Make a bouquet of tea, adding sweets, nuts, marzipan, fruits. A good sign of attention would be to include an interesting card that will enhance the effect of the gift.
People make a tea bouquet on their own or go to special workshops. The cost of the gift will be relatively small - from 350 to 2000 rubles.
A composition of sweets and tea is a gift that does not require large financial investments, and a person will be pleased to receive such a gift.
What else can you add to the bouquet?
No one limits your imagination.
Add whatever you think is necessary, but, of course, within reason. The components of the bouquet may include chocolate bars or bars, magnets, toys, several types of tea, fresh flowers, nuts, cinnamon sticks, gingerbread cookies, honey, berries, yarn or even cotton flowers, which can be made from cotton wool and threads. If you are afraid of ruining a fragile structure with something heavy, take a wicker basket or a paper box (preferably a round one), fill it with gifts and wrap it in paper. Of course, you can buy a ready-made set, but such a gift is unlikely to be individual.

We create a gift set “Tea Basket”
A gift basket is an original and useful present. In this article we will introduce you to options for filling and designing them, and also tell you how to organize a successful business creating these amazing and emotional gifts.
Winter scents
On New Year's Eve, not only children, but also adults expect something special. Therefore, simply presenting tea, even of very high quality, is not enough. But adding it to a composition filled with the aromas of pine, citrus and cinnamon is akin to real magic.
You will need:
- loose tea in a beautiful bag or box (can be replaced with coffee);
- artificial spruce branches;
- sugar berries, small Christmas balls, wooden snowflakes;
- star anise, cinnamon sticks, larch cones, orange chips.
Tools and materials:
- a sleeve of wide adhesive tape 5 cm high and 10 cm in diameter;
- penoplex 5 cm thick with sides 10x10 cm, a piece of cardboard of the same size;
- wooden spatula 15 – 20 pcs.;
- stationery knife, wire cutters, heat gun, scissors;
- jute twine, kraft packaging paper.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Making a flowerpot for a bouquet. As a base we use a sleeve of 5-centimeter tape. If you can’t find one, you can make an analogue yourself from thick kraft cardboard. Since the material bends with difficulty, it is necessary to apply transverse notches with the back of a stationery knife or a special tool - a creasing tool. A cardboard ring is then folded over them. The distance between the notches should be equal to the width of the wooden spatulas.
- Apply hot glue to the rim of the sleeve (or homemade ring).
- Glue a square of thin corrugated cardboard. We cut off the excess.
- We decorate the bottom with packaging craft.
- We cut out construction insulation - penoplex to the size of the flowerpot and insert it inside. It will replace a floral sponge for dried flowers. It is advisable to fix the penoplex by gluing it to the bottom of the package.
- To prevent the material from spoiling the appearance of the composition, we cover it with craft.
- We bought 14 cm long wooden spatulas purchased at the pharmacy and cut them in half. It is best to do this with pruning shears. We cover the side of the bushing with halves. The rounded part protrudes above the surface of the penoplex. We mask the joint between the “fence” of spatulas and the bottom with jute twine.
- The flowerpot is ready.
- We decorate it in the middle with two or three turns of twine. At several points we “tack” the jute with hot glue so that it does not move or sag. We thread the ends of the twine through an openwork wooden snowflake and make an elegant bow.
- We also tie a packet of tea with jute, maintaining a single style of composition. Glue a star anise and 2 - 3 sugar berries onto the crosshairs.
- We extend the spruce branches by gluing them to floral wire. We do the same with pre-painted artificial snow cones. Only in this case the wire needs to be folded in half and bent into a loop, increasing the area of contact with the scales. We install some of the branches vertically, sticking them at an angle into the penoplex.
- The rest are simply laid on the base and fixed pointwise with glue. We place the tea bag in the flowerpot without additional fastening - the protruding parts of the spatulas and spruce branches will securely hold it, preventing it from falling out.
- We begin to arrange small decor. We attach Christmas balls and dried orange slices to a wire and distribute them among the branches. We glue the part directly onto the penoplex. At the end, add star anise, cinnamon, sugar berries and rolled citrus peel. We fix all the parts with glue.
The result is a tea bouquet with a real New Year's aroma. It can give you a festive mood long before your favorite drink is brewed and drunk. To add the incomparable smell of pine needles to the notes of citrus and star anise, it is recommended to scent artificial branches with essential oil of spruce, fir or pine.
