The Christmas Gift Guide for People Who Are Impossible to Buy For

Every family has one. The person who says "don't get me anything" and means it, or the friend whose house already looks like a homewares catalogue. This is your guide to buying for them, and for everyone else on the list, without a single candle in sight.

Everything below is caffeine-free, hand-packed in Melbourne and easy to post. Every bundle comes with a tea strainer too, so it's ready to brew the moment the wrapping comes off.

For the one you want to get exactly right

You know their go-to blend, so build the gift around it. Our Christmas Gift Set lets you pick 3 or 4 teas, and we'll wrap them for Christmas, compliments of Mrs Tea. Go classic with tissue paper and ribbon, or have each tea dressed up as a Christmas bonbon, paper crown and questionable joke included. A Set of 4 comes with free shipping, too.

For the one who never switches off

They answer emails on the couch and "just quickly check" their phone at dinner. The Unwind Bundle pairs Paper Moon for evenings, Blue Jazz for busy days and Lady With The Lamp for when the week's taken it out of them. A not-so-subtle hint, wrapped nicely.

For the host who has everything

They've got the good glasses, the linen napkins and a cheese knife for every occasion. What they don't have is something interesting to pour when guests say no to another wine. The Bestseller Bundle is our three most-loved blends, Paper Moon, Blue Jazz and Viva La Vida, and it looks the part on any table.

For the one running on empty by December

Teachers, nurses, new parents, anyone who's been holding it together since February. The Recover Bundle brings together Fine Fettle, Lady With The Lamp and Viva La Vida for the end-of-year slump, when everyone's a little worn out.

For the one who always goes back for seconds

You know who we mean. Christmas lunch, Boxing Day leftovers, the cheese board that never quite gets packed away. The Digest Bundle, with Marigold, The Little Deer and Viva La Vida, is for that stretch between Christmas and New Year when everything feels a little heavy.

For the stocking or Secret Santa

Under $20 and still feels thoughtful. The Sampler has all seven blends to try, which makes it perfect for anyone curious about herbal tea who doesn't know where to start. It fits neatly into a stocking, too.

Sorting the whole office? A Set of 4 wrapped as bonbons covers four Secret Santas in one order, with free shipping.

A few gifting tips

• Buy two, save on postage. Free standard shipping kicks in at $70, so two bundles (one to give, one to keep) ship free.
• Order early. Australia Post gets busy in December, so get your order in early to make sure it arrives before Christmas.
• Still not sure? Browse the full range. It's all caffeine-free, so there's no wrong answer.

Happy gifting, and may your own cup be full this Christmas.
