DIY Hamper: A Coffee Lovers Wooden Crate
Give a gift basket with a twist, not to mention a real caffeine kick, with this hamper chock full of java-treats displayed in use-again wooden crates. We love the idea of a coffee themed gift basket as an alternative to more traditional hamper fare.
With a country full of caffeine addicts, this DIY wooden crate gift makes the perfect present for holidays, hosts and housewarmings. And it’s easy to achieve a professional finish using the latest trends in gift wrapping and ribbon products.
1. Kickstart your coffee theme
Pick your favourite https://www.koch.com.au/collections/?sort=price_d" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wooden crate design, sized to fit your goodies, and fill it with wood wool shred so your gifts sit proudly in the crate. Don’t hide the star of the hamper – display your freshly ground coffee or whole beans in https://www.koch.com.au/collections/?sort=price_a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">paper bags with a display window or in https://www.koch.com.au/collections/mason-jars" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mason jars (or even https://www.koch.com.au/collections/glass-bottles">small glass bottles!). Stay on theme by adding a French coffee press, some latte bowls, a funny or crafty coffee mug, some https://www.koch.com.au/collections/paper-straws">paper straws and your coffee theme is off to a great start.

2. Add in the sweet treats
Macaron boxes and https://www.koch.com.au/collections/patisserie-cake-boxes">cake boxes filled with pastel treats, wrapped chocolates, homemade biscuits or biscotti look (and taste) great. You can also put some tasty treats in glass bottles as a great eco-friendly option! A small glass bottle of flavoured syryp makes an on-theme addition, especially favourite flavours like hazlenut or cinnamon. Pop in novelty chocolate or sugar spoons too. If your giftee doesn’t have a sweet tooth, pop in some cheese straws, savoury crackers or grisini instead.
3. Finish in style
Trust us, decorating your crate is one of the most important parts in creating a hamper with a professional look – thoughtful finishing touches make this gift. Conjure up a cafe menu by using a chalkboard peg or chalkboard sticker to label your crate. We chose two colourways that perfectly compliment a coffee theme. The one above, is finished in on-trend ribbons and wrapping in shades of espresso and cafe au latte, and the moodboard below features contrasting red striped ribbon, gingham ribbon and bakers twine.
Once decorated, your https://www.koch.com.au/collections/wooden-crates-boxes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wooden crate is ready to be delivered! We promise it’s a gift that any coffee fan will love receiving.
