There are so many wonderful and unusual gifts available for the tea lover that you just might have a hard time deciding on which one you want to present to them! Even those who are not big tea fans would have thrilled to receive some of these innovative items as a gift! Here are a few of the most interesting tea gifts that are just waiting to make someone very happy!
Green Tea Pillow
Have you ever heard of a Tea Pillow? According to Chinese medicine, in order to keep the entire body in harmony, you must start at the head. That is the purpose of the Tea Pillow. It is a 15 by 25 inch pillow stuffed with 100% green tea, and nothing else. The tea is from Mount Taimu's natural tea gardens in Fuji.
Green tea is known to have soothing and healing properties, and the use of this pillow will improve sleep, help relieve stress, and help to even out the blood pressure by using the tea as an aromatherapy aid. The scent of the tea is soothing all by itself, and you can custom order a pillow with teas that are even more fragrant than green, such as oolong and lavender.
Tea leaves make a fantastic filler for a pillow that will be used for sleep. They allow heat from the body to dissipate quickly instead of building up in the pillow. The support and comfort of this pillow helps to keep the spine straight, supports your neck, and helps to stimulate several acupuncture points in the area of the neck. A Green Tea Pillow is a delightful gift and a unique way to enjoy tea!
Green Tea Candy
Another unusual gift is a box of Green Tea hard candy. Now, it is possible to enjoy the goodness of green tea even when you are in an environment where it is impossible to have an actual cup of tea. Made from real green tea, sugar, and other ingredients, the candies are wrapped individually and are perfect for the tea lover who can not always stop for a cup of tea!
Tea Scented Candles
Do you remember how great a freshly brewed cup of tea smells? How would you like to have that wonderful scent captured for you in a candle? Tea scented candles come in several scents such as White tea, Black Pekoe, Mint, and Lavender, and are packaged in tea tins that look like antiques, or in tiny ceramic votive cups. This is a very unusual gift that will delight the candle lover as well as the tea lover!
Green Tea Incense
If you are an incense fan, then you know how the sweet scent of it can slowly waft through your home and make every room smell wonderful. Now, imagine the enchanting fragrance of green tea doing the same thing! Heavenly! Cones of green tea incense are packaged in a lovely little rosewood box, along with a mini ceramic burner. Makes a great "just because" gift for someone special!
Chinese Tea Brick
For a gift that will also be a very interesting conversation piece, how about an authentic Chinese Tea Brick? These were first created many centuries ago by the Chinese, who took the dust left from tea leaves and made it into bricks to be used as "tea money" whenever they did any trading with either Tibet or Mongolia. Beautifully sculpted, and listed on the back side so the Chinese could actually make change, this tea is not to be consumed, just agreed.
Humorous Tea Pillow
This well crafted tapestry pillow will be appreciated by women everywhere! The top of the pillow states, "A Woman is Like a Tea Bag." Featured on the pillow to the right is a steaming cup of tea. To the side of this cup, the words continue. "You Never Know How Strong She Is Until She Gets Into Hot Water." This is a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, and there is sure to be a tea loving female on your gift list who will agree with this sentiment!
Green Tea Beauty Aids
Green tea is known to be quite nourishing to the skin. It has anti-oxidant and also antibacterial properties, so it's no wonder that it has been included in the formulas of many natural beauty aids. You can find Green Tea and Fennel Seed Shampoo and Conditioner, Green Tea and Lemon Grass Liquid Hand Soap, Green Tea and Cucumber Shower Gel, Green Tea and Aloe Hand Lotion, Green Tea Facial Scrub, Green Tea Bar Soap, and more! Any tea lover who also enjoys beauty products would appreciate any of these as a most thoughtful gift.
How About Some Tea?
A perfect gift for anyone is a selection of unusual teas that are new to the recipient. A sampler of various teas such as Herbal, Black, Green, Chai, Organic, or flavors such as Raspberry, Lemon Blossom, Mint, Blueberry, and Apple Cinnamon would have been a lovely surprise for tea drinkers both young and young at heart! Tea is a gift that is always in style, always popular, always welcomed, and always affordable. Give a gift of tea today!
