Gilmore Girls Lip Balm Trio in Coffee Cups

The three cups sit inside a box with a clear window, so the colours show before anything is opened. A pink cord is attached to it, which means you can hang the whole thing on the Christmas tree, on a door handle or from the handle of a gift bag. The packaging is printed with the line from the series, Coffee, please, and a shot of cynicism.

Raspberry, coconut and honey: every cup brings its own scent, so you can switch depending on your mood. The 3 g per pot is a modest amount, but one cup fits into any small bag while the other two stay in the bathroom or on the bedside table.

No labelling needed: orange, pale pink and pink tell the three cups apart at a glance.

The set is for everyone who has watched Gilmore Girls more than once, and for coffee lovers with a soft spot for miniature cups. For teenagers and adults alike it works as a gift for Gilmore Girls fans that needs no explaining: a friend, a sister, a flatmate or whoever sat through the box set with you.

Occasions range from Christmas and birthdays to Secret Santa and small thank-you gifts. It also works as a filler for a homemade Advent calendar, since the three cups can be split across three separate doors.

Leave the pink cord on the box. It does the job of a ribbon and turns the packaging into something you can hang on a tree or a door handle. If you want to give more, pair the trio with a mug or a bag of coffee.

Sharing works just as well, because three pots are three small presents, for two sisters and yourself for instance.
