I looked at my husband yesterday and asked, Are we doing gifts this year? I absolutely love doing gifts but I’m also 8 months pregnant and due right near the holidays! There’s a lot going on in our lives to say the least. But after saying the question out loud I realized there was only one answer, of course we should do gifts! Sure, my daughter is only 2, she would never know if we skipped it. Sure, my husband would be fine if we didn’t, a baby is the best gift after all! But I’m too much of a gift giver to skip it, I love watching their faces when they open their presents! So yesterday and today I put all my energy into gift planning and I found the perfect gift for my coffee-loving hubby (or any coffee lover) that I wanted to share with you!
A huge thank you to Contigo® (a Realistic Mama sponsor) for helping me on this gift and providing you with an awesome giveaway (at the bottom of this post)!
Easy Gift Idea for the Coffee Lover
You’ll need:
- 1 Contigo® AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug — actually, make that 2, you’ll want one for yourself too!
Choose one of these to pair it with:
- Coffee (go for a more expensive roast than your normal)
- Hot chocolate packs & big bag of marshmallows
- A variety of hot teas
- Delcious chocolates
- Giftcards to all his favorite coffee shops
And top it with a sweet love note (if it’s for your man).
I filled his travel mug with whole coffee beans that would “explode” out when he opened the gift! The gift smells SO GOOD!
Here are a few reasons the Contigo® mug is SOOOO awesome and is sure to impress the Mr.:
- It automatically seals between sips (no more spills during his morning commute! PLUS it will keep the dirt and debris out so he won’t have to worry on his way to work!). Simple press of a button and sip!
- Keeps hot drinks hot for up to five hours (and cold drinks cold for up to 12!).
Don’t forget to snag that extra mug for yourself, they seriously ARE awesome! I’m loving mine, almost too much! While I don’t have a commute to work per se, I do have a work at home job and love having a hot drink by my side. With the AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug I don’t have to worry about an accidental spill on my laptop (especially important with a 2 year old running circles around me!).
Do you or your husband commute to work? How long are your commutes?

Give to my husband for Christmas for Sunday morning s!
DJ says
This would be great for my hubby to carry his coffee to work.
Melanie says
Hi & thanks for the chance! My hubby used to complain about his coffee getting cold, & even though, for years, he always had his coffee with him when left for work (he works outside for the most part) he just quit taking it. This mug might help him be able to enjoy his morning coffee, again! And, I can surely benefit from the spill-proof feature, because most of the messes in my car are not from my kids, but from me!
Alida says
LOL! I need the spill-proof feature too!
Pam cox says
Never tried this brand before.
Alida says

I’d give it to my fiance to use. He plows snow all winter, so having something like this would really help him stay awake during the nights he’s salting or moving snow around.
