Coffee Stocking Stuffers Under $25

Mugs that Match the Mood

Not everyone has a favorite mug, yet. Cool cats love our Stumptown Holiday Mug, a heavy-weight 10oz diner mug decked out in a winter wonderland with a side of holiday nostalgia.

Patches with Personality

Small patches, big personality. The Songbird Patch stars a little birdie who skipped flying south and would rather tag along with you. The Foraged Magic Patch brings a pop of woodland mushrooms to any jacket, backpack, or tote. Both are fully embroidered with a heat-seal backing, so they’re ready to go the moment they come out of the stocking.

Stocking Stuffers with Real Spark

If you’re looking to add a little extra joy to someone’s stocking, these are just the thing.

• Strike Your Fancy Matchsticks: An apothecary-style glass jar with a cork lid holds 80 wooden matchsticks, with a striker right on top. It’s the coolest candle lighter around.
• Mini Mug Ornament: This tiny speckled camp mug comes in a kraft gift box with twine for hanging. It’s decorative only, but big on holiday spirit.
• YAY Itzel Happy Cup Washi Tape: Itzel designed this rice paper washi tape just for us. Each roll runs 33 feet, and it’s compostable after use.

The Finishing Touches

A great gift deserves a great send-off, so tuck everything into our reusable Stumptown Holiday Gift Bag, an organic cotton drawstring bag covered in cool graphics.

A Bag of the Good Stuff

Simple. Direct. Go straight to the source and drop a bag of coffee under your buddy’s tree. Evergreen, our holiday blend, brings notes of baking spice, chocolate, orange, and brown sugar, and it’s only around for a limited time. For the explorer on your list, Ethiopia Nano Challa is a seasonal single origin from one of our longest-running partners. You can also pick a different craft coffee from our coffee collection, curated for the journey you want to send them on.

A Bag of Joy

Looking for a bag of joy? This is it. The Lisa Congdon Joy Burst Bag is tough recycled cotton canvas dressed in its party best, courtesy of Portland artist Lisa Congdon. It has a zip top, an interior pocket, and room for a 15" laptop, so it works just as hard as it looks good. Stuff it with beans and a new mug, and you’ve got a gift inside a gift.

Coffee Gift FAQ

What is a good coffee stocking stuffer?

Small, useful, and fun is the sweet spot. Look for something they’ll use long after the holidays, like a patch for their jacket, a sticker for their water bottle, or a little something for their desk. For the coffee lover who’s hard to pin down, a Stumptown e-gift card lets them choose for themselves.

What is a good coffee gift for a coworker?

A bag of fresh coffee is simple and universally loved. Evergreen is a festive pick for the holidays, and pairing it with a Stumptown Holiday Mug turns it into a gift set that’ll live on their desk all year.

What is a good gift for someone who doesn’t drink coffee?

We know, we know. Somewhere out there is a non-coffee-drinking Scrooge, and yes, they might even live under your own roof. Not every gift needs to come with caffeine. The Lisa Congdon Joy Burst Bag, the Strike Your Fancy Matchsticks, and the Bright Ideas Sketch Set are all made to be loved by anyone. For something small, the YAY Itzel Happy Cup Washi Tape turns any package into a little work of art.
