Christmas Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts

In the final days before Christmas, time has a habit of slipping away. Diaries fill, plans shift, and suddenly the festivities are upon us. Yet thoughtful gifting doesn’t need to be complicated. Even when the calendar is tight, there are still generous, well-considered options that feel personal, polished, and genuinely appreciated.


At H.R.Higgins we have a selection of last-minute gifts designed for those moments when time is short but you still want to give something special. 


Coffee Tasting Masterclass

For those who enjoy learning something new, a place on our Coffee Tasting Masterclass makes a standout gift. Held at our Duke Street shop in Mayfair, this immersive experience takes guests through the full journey of the coffee bean, from harvesting at origin and selecting the finest varietals to the craft of roasting, blending, brewing and tasting.


Guided by our experts, guests learn how to identify flavours, aromas, and nuances in a relaxed and engaging setting. It’s an experience that feels both educational and indulgent, offering something far richer than a physical gift. And with dates available throughout the year, it’s a thoughtful present that fits even the tightest Christmas timeline.

A Year of Coffee 

For the ultimate gift for coffee lovers, the Mr Higgins Recommends Coffee Experience is a generous and memorable choice. This year-long journey offers a curated selection of H.R.Higgins’ best-loved coffees, chosen especially for the recipient by Tony and David Higgins. 


It’s a gift that brings anticipation and enjoyment throughout the year, offering quiet moments of pleasure long after the decorations are packed away. For those seeking something lasting, distinctive and full of character, it is a truly exceptional option.


Digital Gift Vouchers

When time is especially tight, a Digital Gift Voucher is the perfect solution. Delivered instantly, it offers complete flexibility without losing any sense of thoughtfulness. The recipient can explore our full range – from seasonal coffees and loose leaf teas to brewing accessories and treats – and select exactly what suits them best.


Simple, elegant and immediate, it’s a last minute gift that still feels personal and well-considered.

Chinese Teas to ring in the Year of the Horse

Chinese New Year is fast approaching and we're entering the Year of the Horse. This festival lasts more than just one night and much longer than simply gathering to wait for the clock to chime twelve and the fireworks to start. Whether you're celebrating or not, Chinese teas are always worth exploring.
