    Black Friday Coffee Gifts That Actually Do Good

    RISE Coffee Box Black Friday gifts

    What if Black Friday did not have to mean panic-buying things nobody really needs?

    We’d much rather use it as a chance to choose one genuinely good gift, something thoughtful and made with care. So we’ve brought together our favourite RISE Black Friday coffee gifts, from one-off boxes to subscriptions that keep the good coffee coming.

    Better still, every RISE gift supports independent UK roasters and helps us build a fairer, more sustainable coffee industry!

    This year’s RISE Black Friday offer

    RISE Black Friday offer

    This Black Friday, you can save 30% off 3 boxes, plus 10% off all gifts across all RISE coffee gifts from 15th November to 1st December. 

    Whether you’re buying for someone else, getting ahead on Christmas shopping or treating your own coffee cupboard, you can find the full offer in our Black Friday Collection.

    Once the offer ends, it ends, so if something catches your eye, it’s worth grabbing while it’s still around.


    Why a coffee gift beats a Black Friday bargain you will forget

    Speciality coffee from independent UK roasters

    We’ve all bought something in a sale just because the price looked good. A few weeks later it’s sitting unused in a drawer, or already on its way to landfill.

    Coffee is different. It becomes part of someone’s morning, and introduces them to roasters they might never have found otherwise. It gets enjoyed again and again, rather than becoming another bit of Black Friday clutter.

    At RISE, we choose speciality-grade, 100% Arabica coffees from independent UK roasters. We taste every coffee before selecting it, looking not only for brilliant flavour but also for responsible sourcing and the people and stories behind it.

    Our Direct Trade approach supports closer relationships and fairer pay for coffee farmers. We’re also a member of 1% for the Planet, and the packaging across our coffee selection is recyclable or compostable. Your gift supports more than one good cup, it supports independent businesses and a better way of buying coffee too.


    The best RISE coffee gifts this Black Friday

    Not sure what kind of coffee gift to go for? We get it, coffee lovers  are surprisingly tricky to buy for. So here are the gifts we’d recommend, depending on who’s on your list.

    The RISE coffee subscription

    For the person always hunting their next favourite coffee, a RISE Coffee Box Subscription is hard to beat.

    Each delivery brings two coffees from independent UK roasters, hand-picked by us and sent as whole beans or ground to suit their brewer. Every box is different, so there’s always a new origin, flavour or roaster to discover.

    And because life changes, it’s completely flexible. They can pause, skip or cancel whenever they like. No awkward coffee commitments here.

    RISE coffee subscription box

    A one-off coffee gift box

    Sometimes you just want a great present you can wrap up, hand over and take all the credit for.

    Our coffee boxes and gift sets bring together quality coffee and thoughtful extras in one easy gift. They are great for friends, family, teachers, hosts, Secret Santas or, frankly, anyone whose morning coffee could do with an upgrade.

    A prepaid coffee gift subscription

    Want your present to last a little longer? A three, six or twelve-month prepaid subscription means fresh coffee keeps turning up long after the wrapping paper has disappeared.

    You pay upfront, they get something new to look forward to each month, and there’s nothing for them to remember to cancel at the end.

    Best of all, you don’t need to know whether they’re a washed Ethiopian obsessive or a chocolatey Brazilian kind of person. We do the coffee choosing, tailor the grind to their brewer and share the stories behind every bag.

    The RISE coffee advent calendar

    Know someone who starts counting down to Christmas far too early? This one is for them.

    Our RISE Coffee Advent Calendar turns December into 24 days of coffee discovery, with a different coffee waiting behind every door. It’s a lovely way to try new flavours, origins and roasters throughout the run-up to Christmas.

    It’s also one of our most popular festive products every year, so this is one we definitely wouldn’t leave sitting in your basket for too long.

    Coffee for an office or team

    Buying for colleagues, clients or the whole team? Give them something that will actually get used.

    A RISE Coffee Box brings better coffee into the working day while introducing everyone to independent UK roasters. Far more exciting than another branded notebook, and much more useful at 9am on a Monday.

    Still deciding? Browse all RISE Coffee gifts and pick the one that feels most like them. We’ll take care of the coffee.


    Black Friday coffee gift FAQs

    When is RISE’s Black Friday sale?

    TBC

    What is the best coffee gift for Black Friday?

    For someone who enjoys trying new coffees, we’d choose a RISE subscription or prepaid gift subscription. For an easy one-off present, a coffee gift box is a great option. In the run-up to Christmas, the coffee advent calendar makes every morning feel like part of the gift.

    Can I give a coffee subscription as a gift?

    Yes. RISE prepaid gift subscriptions are available for three, six or twelve months. The full period is paid for in advance, so the recipient isn’t tied into an ongoing contract.

    Is a coffee subscription worth it?

    A coffee subscription is worth it for someone who drinks coffee regularly and enjoys discovering new flavours. Rather than receiving the same bag each time, a RISE box introduces them to two different coffees from independent UK roasters, along with their origins, tasting notes and stories.


    Make this Black Friday feel a little better

    Black Friday doesn’t have to be about buying more for the sake of it. One well-chosen gift can support independent businesses, celebrate the work of farmers and roasters, and make someone’s mornings better for months to come.
