My mom really likes coffee. Lest year I got her a coffee sampler pack. She really enjoyed it. Does anyone have and gift ideas for me?

EDIT: I need to be able to puchase this on the Web, and have it shipped to the US.

A mug.

Tried it a few years ago.

Chocolate covered coffee beans? I thought they were pretty vile when I tried them, but if she's a hardcore caffiene addict she might enjoy a few of them.

Nah, not something mummy dearest would like.

Those coffee beans that have to eaten and shat out of some animal before they're drank. I cannot think of the name of them for the life of me.

how about this:

In or around. When I first had it I was like "hur hur let's have the shit coffee hur hur" and then after tasting I was "I'm selling my house and clothes so I can have more of this beautiful beverage of the gods"

Its good coffee, and when you buy, they send you a new coffeemaker.

Pretentious....but just about the best cup of coffee you can get, without going to a coffee store and paying a fortune for exspensive beans.

Wiki*cringe*: "Kopi" is the Indonesian word for coffee, and "luwak" is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee "berries" as part of its usual diet. This animal eats a mixed diet of insects, small mammals, and fruits, along with the softer outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans, instead excreting them still covered in some inner layers of the cherry.

I'm not giving my mother fucking Tom mutherfucking Hortons fucking coffee.

I'm not giving my mother fucking Tom mutherfucking Hortons fucking coffee.What’s wrong with Tim Horton's coffee, that you object so violently? Could it be that you recognize the inherent superiority of Canadian coffee, and feel threatened?

What's the price range you're looking at?

50-75 USD

Actually, I asked her about that. She sometimes drinks tea.

She said she wanted a coffee-like gift.

Its hard to go wrong with anything they sell, I dont make coffee myself, and drink it rarely, so I cant offer much help with their particular coffees, the sampler would be nice though, and if she ends up liking one sort more than others, you could buy her four bags of that next year.

you know what your mom needs? a nice fine bone china tea/coffee set.

a small pot with ....oh lets say 6 small cups (perfect for espresso but bigger than a demitasse) a sugar bowl perfect for little blue/pink/yellow pacages and a nice little creamer

made of china so fine that you can see the color of your hand through it (with backlighting)

something like this

Breast Implants, because noting says, "I love you Mom" like implying that you've noticed she needs a bigger rack.
