Just a little over two weeks ago, my good friend came all the way from California for a visit. We haven’t seen each other in like ten years and the first thing she suggested was to go have a cup of coffee.

Immediately it brought back memories of how we used to sit in her den on freezing winter nights, curled up on her sofa holding our coffee mugs to warm up our hands and watching TV. Good times, they really were the best of times.

I can’t do without my morning cup of coffee, and neither can she. I guess that’s what makes us good friends !

That’s why I really wish I’d gotten her this Shock Coffee gift set which contains bags of ground coffee, canned coffee, a travel mug, a ceramic mug, and a matching “Sleep is Overrated” t-shirt and hat.

Shock Coffee produces some of the world’s finest energy coffee blends made from 100% Arabica coffee beans with no caffeine added. Mmm, I can almost smell the roast. They offer both whole beans and ground coffee in ‘energy’ and ‘organic’ blends.

I love food gifts, she does too so I’m pretty sure she (and I) would’ve loved receiving any of the Shock Coffee drinks, coffee beans and blends, powdered instant cappuccino and even chocolate-covered coffee beans with an irresistably cute name like Shock-A-Lots. Hmm, I should still be in time to send it as a Christmas gift.
