My in-laws were in town last week for a number of reasons. The two biggest being a) we needed a babysitter all week since daycare was closed for Vacay, and b) they wanted to come down and get their stuff out of our basement. Two things we desperately needed (now if anyone else wants to come claim the rest of the crap in our basement, let me know, I’m sure a deal could be worked out). One thing I know about them is that I have to have plenty of creamer, sugar and coffee ready for when they roll in to town. The java is going as soon as we wake up in the morning and it doesn’t stop until everyone is asleep at night. Amy and I aren’t huge coffee drinkers, but we do like the occasional cup. John and Susan though, have coffee running through their veins.

Which led me to find the perfect gift for them, a Coffee of the Month Club subscription. For less than $100 I can sign them up for three months worth of gourmet coffee to be delivered directly to their door. A different blend every month. In what they’d spend on gourmet coffee in that time anyways, it works out to about even and I get them something I know they’ll both enjoy (or at least use on a regular basis). Makes it very easy to choose and the coffee is good too. The cool thing is that if there’s a blend the like, they can order it direct from the club at a discounted price as well.

I think this Christmas just “perked” up for the in-laws, don’t you??
