With a week to go before Christmas Day, this gift guide is the perfect solution to affordable and unique products to give this year for that person everyone has in their life: the coffee lover. With stores like Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Blue Bottle and others, consumers have countless options to pick from for on-the-go coffee needs, but five-dollar coffee, however, might break the bank nowadays so what better time than the present to give a gift to satisfy those coffee cravings?
