Bodum Chambord 8-Cup French Press Coffeemaker

Tell your mom and dad that the Mr. Coffee Maker is on its way out: upgrade the traditional drip coffeemaker with a sleek French coffee press. The French press eliminates paper filters (a key point for the environmentally conscious friend), but keeps all the essential oils and flavors for a cup of coffee. Plus, the sleek design of Bodum's French press is a coffeemaker you'll want to leave out on the counter long after the last cup is brewed.

Russian Rose Caravan Tea From Republic of Tea

How cool is this? Fancy tea brand, Republic of Tea, partnered up with the movie Anna Karenina, to make a delectable black tea blend.
