Perhaps your BFF is into coffee, but they're not in the market for a pricey espresso machine with all the bells and whistles. This compact and practical Amazon find is a solid alternative.

I love the Grapefruit one in particular — it fills up the room with a fresh scent after only a few minutes of burning."

I just pulled everything from photos he's sent me or Facebook. My family isn't big on getting prints made of photos, so he loved this sentimental gift. Plus, he loves that he can swap the prints easily on the easel."
