  Tea is an ancient drink which is said to have many medicinal uses. Drinking some kinds of tea daily can lower cholesterol, relieve symptoms of the common cold and reduce stress levels. Give the tea lover in your life a present she'll really enjoy, a unique tea themed present for her daily use.

Color-Changing Tea Kettle

• Give a tea kettle that changes colors when the water is ready. This is a fun, unique gift for a true tea lover who often boils water to make tea. Even kids will get a kick out of a color-changing pot.

Origami Tea Bags

• Spice up a tea lover's daily cup with an origami tea bag. The tea bags are actually all shaped like different animals and objects. Let the tea lover pick her bag each day and decide what thing they'd like to be. These are perfect for a tea party where you want to add a bit of flair and decor to an otherwise ordinary bag of tea.

Tea of the Month Club

• Enroll your tea-loving friend in the tea-of-the-month club. She'll receive a new tea each month to try so she can expand her tea flavor samplings. Set a date to enjoy a cup together each month; it will give you a reason to spend time with one another.

Tea-Time Gift Basket

• Fill a gift basket with an assortment of tea-related items such as cups and saucers, tea bags, a kettle, tea sandwiches, crumpets, sugar cubes and small pastries. One idea is to place all the items in a large tea kettle and wrap with cellophane.

Tea Classes and Tasting

• Give him a set of tea classes and tea tastings. Just like learning how to smell and sample wine, tea classes teach how to brew the perfect cup as well as taste it. He'll learn all about the fine art of tea tasting and be able to impress at your next social event.
