Unisex Gift Ideas for Adults: Coffee Gifts Anyone Can Use

Last updated: November 6, 2026

Quick answer: Good unisex gift ideas for adults are things people use up, such as coffee. Start with our flavoured drip bag sets: the Christmas Coffee Break (₱120, 5 cups) and Ten Cups of Christmas (₱240, 10 cups) need only hot water. For a bigger gift, the Christmas Coffee Duo (₱620) has two bags of Philippine coffee in an abaca gift bag. All come gift-wrapped with a Christmas card.

Buying for a group you do not know well, such as officemates, in-laws, a teacher or a client, means picking something that suits a man or a woman equally. Clothes and perfume depend too much on taste. Food and drink are easier, and coffee is one of the most widely drunk. This guide shows which of our gifts work best as unisex gifts and how much each one costs per cup.

Why coffee makes a good unisex gift

Coffee is an everyday drink for a lot of Filipino adults. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s July 2026 coffee report puts Philippine consumption at 6,525 thousand 60 kg bags in the 2025/26 marketing year, with 6,725 thousand forecast for 2026/27. The 2025/26 figure works out to about 391,500 tonnes of coffee.

It also gets used up. A box of drip bags is finished in a week or two, and a 400 g pouch in a few weeks, so nobody is left with something they do not need. And it works at any budget, from a ₱120 box to a ₱990 pair of big bags.

Best unisex coffee gifts by budget

Start with drip bags: the ₱120 and ₱240 sets

Drip bags are the safest unisex gift we sell because they need no equipment. The Christmas Coffee Break (₱120) has one each of Mocha, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Butterscotch and Caramel. Ten Cups of Christmas (₱240) has two of each. Both come in a gift box tied with a gold ribbon. Each bag holds 10 g of coffee, so both sets work out to ₱24 a cup. Our drip bag brewing guide shows how to brew one.

The Christmas Coffee Duo for a bigger budget

The Christmas Coffee Duo (₱620) has a 200 g pouch of Benguet Arabica (medium roast) and a 200 g pouch of Batangas Robusta (dark roast), a wooden coffee spoon and a Christmas card, packed in a handmade abaca gift bag. One coffee is lighter and one is bolder, so the person can choose what they like. You pick whole bean or a grind when you order.

Which gift gives the most coffee for the money?

For a fair comparison we counted 10 g of coffee per cup, the amount in one of our drip bags. Sets with a French press cost more per cup because you are also paying for the press.

Unisex gifts for officemates and clients

For a team, one gift for everyone keeps things fair. Ten Cups of Christmas or the Duo work for most people. Under RR 29-2025, Christmas gifts from an employer of up to ₱6,000 per employee a year count as de minimis benefits, which are exempt from income tax and fringe benefit tax. Ask your accountant how it applies to you; our guide to the Christmas gift tax exemption has the details.

1. Pick one or two sets. Drip bags for everyone, or the Duo for managers and clients.
2. Count the sets. 20 or more get 5% off and 50 or more get 10% off, with a free company logo sticker and a custom card message.
3. Book the date. Bulk delivery takes 3 to 5 days in Metro Manila and 5 to 7 days outside.
4. Send the request. Use the form on our Christmas gift sets page. For more ideas, read our guide to corporate Christmas gifts.
