Quick answer: For a Kris Kringle or exchange gift under ₱500, coffee is a safe choice because almost everyone drinks it. Under ₱150, give a box of 5 flavoured drip bags (₱120). Under ₱300, give 10 flavoured drip bags (₱240), a 200 g bag of Philippine coffee (₱231–₱292) or a ₱300 e-gift card. Up to ₱500, give a ₱500 e-gift card or pair drip bags with a bag of beans.

Here are our Kris Kringle coffee gift ideas, grouped by the most common exchange-gift budgets in the office and at family parties.

Under ₱150

• The Christmas Coffee Break – ₱120. A gift box of 5 flavoured drip bags, one each of Mocha, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Butterscotch and Caramel, with a mini Christmas card. No coffee maker needed: hang the bag on a mug and pour hot water. Flavoured drip bags are available from October 1 to December 23.
• Coffee Drip Bags, box of 5 – ₱120. Pick Arabica, Robusta, Kapeng Barako, our Signature Blend or Assorted. These come in a regular box rather than gift packaging.

₱150 to ₱300

• Ten Cups of Christmas – ₱240. Ten flavoured drip bags (two of each flavour) and a Christmas card. Ten cups, so it lasts them past Christmas.
• Coffee Drip Bags, box of 10 – ₱240. Ten single-serve bags of one coffee, or assorted.
• A 200 g bag of Philippine coffee – Robusta ₱231, Kapeng Barako ₱242, CB’s Finest ₱244, Arabica-Robusta Blend ₱274, Benguet Arabica ₱292. Choose whole bean or a grind at checkout. These come in our standard coffee pouch, so add your own gift wrap.

₱300 to ₱500

• Caffeine Brothers e-gift card – ₱300 or ₱500. Sent by email with your message, no expiry date, and the recipient chooses what to buy. Good for online or last-minute exchanges.
• Drip bags + a bag of beans – for example The Christmas Coffee Break (₱120) with a 200 g bag of Kapeng Barako (₱242), ₱362 in total.

Tips for a coffee Kris Kringle gift

• Drip bags are the safest choice if you don’t know whether they own a coffee maker.
• Ask for whole bean only if they own a grinder. Otherwise choose the grind: normal suits most drip machines, coarse suits a French press.
• Order early. Couriers get busy in December. In Metro Manila and nearby areas, same-day delivery is available for orders placed by 3 PM (the rider fee is paid by the customer).
