Whenever you’re in a pinch for finding a home warming present or a last minute birthday gift for that friend who will inevitably return anything you buy, I always opt for getting something that is universally appreciated. And for my group of friends that tends to be anything that is coffee oriented, so it is always safe to buy something from Starbucks Canada, especially when you’re shopping within their clearance sale section where mugs and tumblers are being sold for up to 50% off their original retail price!

For the friend who’s chronically late, I’d suggest grabbing a couple of these Via Instant Latte packages. They’re currently being sold in the Peppermint Mocha flavour for just $6.36 (usually $7.95), which will make each individual latte drink cost $1.27. That’s about a fourth the cost of regular Starbucks latte, plus there’s no line that you’ll have to wait in if you’re really running late.

For the friend who doesn’t actually drink coffee, there’s even a gift in the sale here for them. This Stainless Steel Cold Cup is great for carrying morning smoothies, cold lemonade, or even just plain old water. The cup is 16 fl. oz. and comes with a reusable plastic straw – so it will even pass your friend’s eco-friendly test! The cup usually sells for $27.95, but can be bought now for just $19.57.

Starbucks Canada offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $75 or more.
