Thanks, flowers everywhere. Great ideas. As for the coffee, I think I'll be leaving behind my beloved Cuisinart grinder-and drip-coffeemaker-in-one. It's a bit of a behemoth. I was thinking French press or just one of those cones that you put a filter in and drip the coffee yourself. Or gift myself an electric pot similar to the one I gave my DD for Christmas. It has a thermostat on it and you can choose the right temperature for coffee, black tea, or green tea (which requires a lower brew temp).
