For some people, coffee is just the means to an end. Caffeine is what matters, and any form will do. If you know someone like that, who craves those chemical jitters, try some of these unusual and caffeinated gifts.
1. Javapops
A tasty way to get a nice hit of caffeine without having to carry a cup of coffee. These candy pops come in 5 coffee-style flavours and contain 60mg of caffeine. It's what you need to get your caffeine rush (along with a nice dose of sugar) when you're on the move and can't bring coffee with you.
2. Shower Shock Soap
Unlike some other coffee-scented soaps, this one doesn't smell like coffee but does give a caffeine boost. That's right. You can absorb caffeine through the skin, so lather up in the mornings and get a buzz on before you even reach the coffee maker. It's a natural glycerin soap that smells like peppermint. You can also get Shower Shock body wash, if you prefer.
3. Caffeine Molecule T-Shirt
Show off your addiction with a simple t-shirt with the chemical diagram of a caffeine molecule on it. It doesn't actually say "caffeine" on it, so be prepared for questions from curious co-workers. Consider it a friendly ice-breaker.
4. SpazzStick
Add some caffeine to your every day routine with Spazzstick caffeinated lip balm. You can absorb the caffeine through your lips, though I'd guess you'd need to frequently reapply it. Spazzstick comes in flavours like chocolate, vanilla and mint. And apparently, it's made by underground trolls in Alaska.
5. Foosh Energy Mints
A popular way of getting some caffeine without the coffee, is with mints. Foosh brand mints are powerfully strong, and made with real peppermint and no sugar. Each mint contains 100 mg of caffeine.
