“I was taken by the power that savouring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.” – Howard Schultz

Does anyone actually hate coffee? Many of us are of the belief that coffee is indeed a true miracle sent from Heaven for our mere survival. September 29^th marks National Coffee Day for Canada and while the history of this day can be called into question with debatable interests, its was meant to serve as a reminder to honour the struggle of coffee farmers around the nation and support them! We love coffee and we love to support local so why not celebrate!

For so many of us, coffee is among the first things that we reach for in the morning, and then relied upon to manage energy levels throughout the day. The very smell and taste of coffee can be so comforting.  Our favourite benefit of coffee is that it provides opportunity for social interactions where relationships can be fostered and strengthened. How often have you been invited, or have invited someone to catch up at your nearest coffee shop? People have been meeting up at coffee shops to talk, work, write, discuss business strategies, conduct interviews,  entertain, and even just to pass the time, for as long as anyone can remember.

As always, we at The Gift Designers are in favour of any occasion that lends an opportunity to foster relationship. We encourage you to celebrate National Coffee Day at your local coffee shop and catch up with those whom you enjoy! You could consider giving the gift of coffee, which is something that we would absolutely love to help you out with! You could also just sit and enjoy a good cup of coffee in the comfort of your home. However you decide to celebrate the day, we hope you thoroughly enjoy the gift that is COFFEE!!! 😊
