Here’s a look at some gift ideas for those who enjoy drinking cold coffee and cocktails and some other housewares suggestions that I saw at the March 2022 The Inspired Home Show organized by the International Housewares Association.
Iced and cold brew coffee makers
Know someone who loves frappes but wants to save money? The Mr. Coffee Single-Serve Frappe, Iced, and Hot Coffee Maker and Blender from Newell Brands is a 3-in-1 appliance designed to make coffee shop-style frozen coffee beverages along with iced and hot coffee. The company states that users can create perfectly frothy and flavorful frappes by using the built-in blender and automatic blending cycle along with easy-to-use measuring system and dual-sided scoop. The machine brews 6, 8, 12, or 16 oz. of, hot coffee and 22 oz. of iced coffee, with the single-serve reusable filter. $89.99

Love cold brew but don’t want to wait 18 to 24 hours to make it? The TRU Rapid Cold Brew Coffee Maker from Select Brands is stated to brew 17 ounces (500 ml) of cold brew concentrate in as little as 5 minutes. A patented vacuum technology creates rapid extraction brewing through an active infusion process that saturates coffee grounds with cold water. The three brew strength settings are MILD (5 minutes of brew time), MEDIUM (10 minutes), and BOLD (15 minutes).?$79.99
Mexican cocktails
Does someone you know enjoy the refreshing Paloma cocktail? They will enjoy the Mexican Cantaritos cocktail that is made with fresh lemon, lime, and grapefruit juices, tequila, and grapefruit soda; with the cup rimmed with lime juice and chili salt. I learned from Verve Culture that Cantaritos de barro cups are small clay cups that are traditionally used in the street fairs in Jalisco, Mexico. The kit contains two red clay cups, a citrus hand juicer, chili salt, and paper straws. $38.00.
Pool-side margaritas
Your cocktail-loving friends can now take their margaritas and martinis to the pool with reduce’s Saltini Tumbler which is glass-free and shatter-proof. The 12 oz dual-wall vacuum insulated, stainless-steel tumbler has a unique rim-able 360 Sip Lid that allows for sipping from any side and can keep drinks cold for up to 10 hours. From Base Brands, LLC. $14.99

Cereal on-the-go
The CrunchCup from Crunch Tech Inc. is for busy cereal lovers who like to eat cereal on-the-go, while working at their desk, or as a nighttime snack while watching TV. There is no soggy cereal as the dual-chambered cup is made of BPA-free, dishwasher-safe Eastman Tritan as the milk and cereal come out of separate compartments when eating.?One pours milk into the outer cup, adds cereal to the inner cup, and screws on the lid. On sale for $22.95.
Hot lunch outside the home
Want a hot lunch at work but don’t have access to a microwave or are scared to use the shared microwave oven? The Crockpot Lunch Crock Food Warmer from Newell Brands offers a convenient solution in a variety of colors. The appliance is designed to warm up leftovers at one’s desk and has a detachable cord. The electric lunch box features a removable 20 oz storage container and a tight-sealing lid to prevent spills on-the-go. $39.99
Love your leftovers
Do you have friends who love leftovers? They will appreciate the Prepara Latchlok Stack, Steam, and Store Containers that use an interior silicone gasket system to create a watertight and airtight seal. The containers are made with Tritan to offer a glass-like look, odor and stain resistance, and will not chip or crack. The company’s patent pending latch and ventilation system allows one to cook and reheat in double decker stackable containers. The latches move to the center position to lock and to the outer positions to unlock and open the vents for microwaving. Prices vary depending on the configuration.
Reusable straws
Do you want to stop using disposable straws? ?You may want to check out GoSili’s Reusable Straw + Travel Case. The reusable straws are made with 100% European-grade, platinum silicone that is soft so will not hurt teeth like a stainless straw but durable so that it will not melt like a paper straw. The company says that the straws are dishwasher-safe, can be boiled to sterilize or washed by hand, with no brushes needed. On sale for $6.99 for a 2-pack
