I signed up for a Christmas swap on another board. I got someone who doesn't post much, lives in Michigan, and is married with cats. He's male, has expensive hobbies, has access to almost any ethnic cuisine he wants to make...
He likes coffee, spices and meats. And incense.
But not potpourri, or candles.

I am stuck on what to get him, and it really needs to go out next week.

I like the coffee basket idea. The problem with Penzeys is that I think he already has a lot of spices, and I hate just doing gift cards.

Penzey's was going to be my suggestion, too!

I love this place. They have amazing spices along with gift pacs.

I don't know what the budget is but how about a nice coffee mug, biscotti and a Starbucks gift card?

You could also do whole bean speciality coffee with a grinder and a nice mug or some variation on a coffee basket theme : )
