Some are year-round tea drinkers, others take a more seasonal approach: in other words, when the temperature drops, out comes the kettle. Either genre of sipper will appreciate a tea-themed gift though. Pair a great tea kettle—there is plenty of heated debate online about which one qualifies—like, my favorite, the Sori Yanagi version in a chic matte stainless steel, with a pretty tin or two of tea, like the Harney & Sons blends, and voila!
Sori Yanagi Stainless Steel Kettle in Matte, about $75, at amazon.com, and Harney & Sons HT Peppermint Herbal Blend, $5.99, at harney.com
