save on Peet’s Coffee Big Bang bags and/or K-cups at Publix.This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Peet’s Coffee. The opinions and text are all mine.
When my wife was teaching, she loved when kids would make her little gifts: cards, drawings and notes. Now that we have four kids in school, she tries to give back by doing little things throughout the year for their teachers.
One idea to help a teacher feel appreciated, since they do so much for our kids, is to make them a “just because” gift. We usually send this in during the week of National Coffee Day (this year it is 9/29). What better way to celebrate National Coffee Day than by making the perfect cup of Peet’s coffee?
National Coffee Day falls right around the start of school (September 29th!). My wife has always said that the first week of school is exhausting, so at the beginning of the school year, she likes to send a “Pick Me Up” basket to teachers. This basket is full of fun things for the teacher and for the classroom. We purchase most of the goodies at Publix, and it’s fun to have the kids help us pick everything out.
In the basket, we add Peet’s coffee, a coffee mug, and cookies for the teacher to enjoy. Peet’s sources the finest beans from across the globe. Since we look for quality, and Peet’s roasts their coffee in small batches, by hand, we know it’s always fresh… the fresher the coffee, the richer the cup.

In the baskets, we add a few varieties : Major Dickason’s Blend® and Peet’s Coffee Big Bang™. My wife prefers medium roast blends. These two coffees aren’t just the “middle of the road” roast. Peet’s medium blends cover a variety of taste preferences; from chocolately flavors to sweet roasts and nutty blends, there is something the teachers are sure to love. Medium roast blends expand the horizon of what coffee can be: perfectly balanced, nuanced, and roasted to perfection. Nothing compares to Peet’s!
While we love gifting Peet’s Coffee, we equally love drinking it so we usually stock up on a couple bags for ourselves as well! Our favorite medium roast is Peet’s Coffee Big Bang™ which is a vibrant blast of tropical fruit in a smooth, medium style. This brilliant blend was created to celebrate Peet’s 50th anniversary, along with their founder Alfred Peet. He was known as the “big bang” of craft coffee; the one who started it all in 1966. He changed our way of thinking about coffee and has continued in his pursuit of greatness.
From 9/14/19 – 9/29/19 you can save on Peet’s Coffee Big Bang bags and/or K-cups at Publix. Retail price is $10.89 and shoppers will be able to purchase for $7.99 during this time on both products.
For the classroom, we include common classroom supplies because we know how quickly the supplies in a classroom are lost, broken or used.
In each basket, we have:
- Peet’s Coffee
- A Coffee Mug
- Cookies
- Pencils
- Colored Pencils
- Pencil Sharpener
- Ruler
- Glue
- Crayons
To finish it off, I created these simple gift tags on my computer. I added the little quote of “Cc is for Caffeine” on each tag to give it a little bit of humor.

We had our kids just write their names on the back of the tags.

These make for a great Pick Me Up gift that lets your child’s teacher know that you appreciate what they are doing in the lives of every child. Your child will be excited to give it to their teacher, too!
