Did you know that today is National Coffee Day? Monday is the perfect day of the week to celebrate a good cup of joe. I think I’ll celebrate National Coffee Day with a friend. It’s so nice to enjoy a cup of coffee in the afternoon, while catching up with a friend. Coffee and friends are the perfect blend.
In celebration of National Coffee Day, I put together a coffee gift basket for my good friend. I included a bag of my favorite coffee, a mug, and the 20th anniversary Edition of Friends The Complete First Season on DVD. I love that show! Many thanks to Eight O’Clock Coffee and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for sponsoring today’s National Coffee Day celebration.
I love making homemade gifts for my friends and family. This simple coffee gift basket is the perfect treat for a friend who shares my love for coffee. I think she will enjoy the new Eight O’Clock Coffee Central Perk Roast as much as I do. The smooth, medium roast is wonderful. So many of the best Friends scenes were shot in the Central Perk coffee shop. I don’t think I will ever forget Phoebe’s rendition of the song Smelly Cat.
Do you have a friend who would appreciate a gift like this? My gift to you is this free gift tag printable with the phrase “Coffee and friends are the perfect blend.” Download and print these coffee and friends gift tags for your own personal use.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Friends premiere, Eight O’Clock Coffee partnered with Warner Bros. to create the first-ever Central Perk Roast – a limited edition varietal inspired by the beloved coffee shop that served as the backdrop to so many memorable moments on the show. I love this! You can grab a bag of the limited edition coffee at grocery and mass merchandise stores nationwide and online at EightOClock.com/friends for approximately $6.99.
Do you remember the iconic Central Perk coffee shop, often frequented by the characters of Friends? If you happen to be in the Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, between now and October 18, pop into the Central Perk commemorative pop-up shop located at 199 Lafayette street, for a free cup of Eight O’Clock Coffee.
