A Last Minute Gift Idea for the On-The-Go Friends

This post has been sponsored by Contigo™. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Gift giving with my crew of friends can be intimidating. They’re accomplished, ambitious go-getters and it’s hard to nail down a gift that’s both thoughtful and practical with their busy lifestyles and something they didn’t already buy themselves.

But if you’re looking for the perfect last-minute gift or something incredibly functional for the on-the-go friend, Contigo products are great for anyone active, traveling, or who just needs a pretty and high functioning travel mug. The Contigo Glaze has a TWISTSEAL leak-proof lid and keeps drinks hot for seven hours and cold beverages cold for 18 hours. And it has such a sleek design.

It’s easy to customize the gift with the varying Contigo products based on your friends’ personalities and lifestyles, plus it’s easy to personalize it even more with smaller gifts to accompany the travel mug.

Contigo Mug Gift Pairings and Ideas

For the coffee addict, this could include their favorite coffee beans, creamers, a battery-operated frother, and a sweet or savory snack to accompany the gift. This could be something homemade like cookies, scones or granola to package together.

For the hot cocoa lover, Contigo along with marshmallows, candy canes, chocolate chips and more—so much room for customization with their favorite flavors.

For the consciously well-hydrated in your life, try flavoring drops to enhance their water intake, unflavored or flavored collagen powder to mix in for improved health and perhaps a sweat towel to take to their next workout class along with their new bottle.

And the packaging makes all the difference. Grab a holiday gift bag or box that fits the personality of your friend. I grab all of my holiday wrapping at Target since I can get a mix of overtly Christmas and more subdued holiday designs. I personally love holiday boxes that are already beautifully designed so I can skip the wrapping. And then carefully wrap the Contigo mug and items individually in tissue paper inside, voila!

Shopping Contigo at Target

I shopped for the Contigo products at Target along with the accompanying gifts to pair with Contigo because Target is simply my happy place. I wander up and down the aisles, letting Target tell me what I need because everything is displayed so well, like the Contigo end cap display, which will be at Target to easily shop through the holiday season.

You can also shop the Contigo holiday hub online and get a little inspo for gift giving this season!
