If you're looking for a sweet gift for a friend or loved one, you can't go wrong with honey. For an extra-special treat, choose Tupelo honey, which is known for its buttery sweetness and never crystallizes. 

Tupelo honey comes from the Tupelo tree, which is found in the Altamaha and Apalachicola River Basins in Florida and Georgia. The golden honey is perfect for enhancing everything from hot tea to fried chicken. 

Honey makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who has sweet tooth but also likes to avoid refined and artificial sugars. Honey is an all-natural source of sweetness and is sure to please both kids and adults of all ages. You can either give the gift of just honey or combine it with other complementary items to create a one-of-a-kind present. 

Consider gifting honey for any type of special event or occasion, including birthday parties, holiday celebrations, anniversaries and graduations, housewarmings, bridal showers, and weddings. On its own, honey is an economical gift for anyone on a tight budget.

Here are a few Tupelo honey gift ideas: 

1. Tea Set 

Surprise an avid tea drinker with an elegant porcelain tea set, as well as a box of hot tea bags and honey. Tea sets range from charming to whimsical, so pick the one that best fits the recipient's personality. 

Choose a box of high-quality tea in the celebrant's favorite flavor. If you don't know it, stick with the classics such as orange pekoe or Earl Grey. 

2. Personalized Mug 

One way to make a tea drinker feel special is with a personalized mug and honey set. Pick a mug featuring the recipient's name, nickname or monogram, or favorite saying or quote.  A mug featuring animal designs or a sports team logo are other ideas. As a personalized touch, have the mug specially printed using one of the celebrant's favorite photos. 

As an eye-catching gift presentation set the bottle of Tupelo honey inside of the mug, and tie a ribbon around the handle. You can also place both items in a gift bag.

3. Honey-Inspired Gift Basket 

Treat the celebrant to everything honey, including honey-flavored cookies and other baked goods, as well facial masks and lotions and cream containing honey. Place all of the items, including the bottle of honey, into a durable wicker basket that the recipient can reuse. 

Other non-food ideas include honey-scented candles, perfumes, and handmade soaps.
