Do You Need a Gift When Invited for Coffee?

by | Jan 18, 2025 | Daily Shorts

Did you ever get invited for coffee at someone’s house and immediately think, “Okay, what gift should I bring? A cake? Flowers? A gold watch?”

Relax! In the US, if someone invites you over for coffee, they’re not expecting a lavish gift. Coffee invitations are usually casual—just bring yourself, maybe a good appetite for conversation, and you’re good.

Of course, if you want to bring something, a small gesture like cookies won’t hurt. But don’t stress about it—this isn’t a wedding, it’s just coffee. I hope you learned something you didn’t know about.
