Make this Holiday Exceptional

Gift Nespresso 

The street corners of New York are starting to fill up with carts of warm nuts and twinkling lights, which means the holidays are upon us! After 3 years of meeting up in coffee shops near Central Park for our sacred monthly catch up, I’m so excited to have enough room in my kitchen to host my bestie, Sharleen. But! Little does she know I have a big surprise waiting 

It’s been 2 months since Nick and I moved to Brooklyn. Linen bedding. Cedar and lavender candles. One by one we’ve pieced the place together. I’ll be honest, we might have had some heated discussions on apartment decor, but one thing we agreed on was that we wanted our kitchen to be a place where people gathered and could sip on a delicious cup of coffee. 

I’m a Latte Lover

Often described as the Ultimate Brewing Experience, we chose the Nespresso VertuoPlus! I absolutely love that with the touch of a button it can make five different cup sizes. I brew the large Eiffel Tower-sized cup on days when I need a double dose of “it’s time to wake up Caila!” 😂 But on most mornings I’ll froth a little skim milk with my Aeroccinno to make a latte. They also offer distinctive seasonal Limited edition flavors from around the world. If you want to enjoy a café quality latte at home, I’d recommend pairing the Nespresso VertuoPlus & Aeroccinno. 

This season, the Nespresso Limited Edition Capsules include delicious flavors inspired by the unique ambiance of Paris – classic Paris Black, Exotic Macaron, and a sweet almond Madeline. When hosting friends, I love letting them sip on each flavor as if my kitchen was a vine covered cafe with a view of the Arc de Triomphe peeking over the rooftops. 

Coffee Meets Creativity 

Sleek and professional, my girlfriend Sharleen bustles around the city as an Opera singer by day and blogger by night—all with coffee in hand. I look up to her like a sister and have always appreciated the time she makes for me. With three years of friendship coming up, I wanted to gift her something as exceptional as she this Christmas. 

BEST SURPRISE GIFT! 

Sharleen delicately unwraps the Nespresso Creatista Plus – which is a coffee connoisseurs’ dream. For her daily Americano she can easily brew some expresso then add hot water. BUT! On days she is feeling creative, or wants to invite me over 😝haha, it also makes authentic café-worthy latte art. Styling her foam and texturing her milk with her husband might even make for a wonderful weekend date at home. 

“You know me so well! I couldn’t imagine a better gift,” she exclaimed in gratitude during our little holiday catch up. But honestly, I have Nespresso to thank – not only do they put their heart into each Nespresso machine, but each cup gives loved ones a reason to gather.

Biggest thank you to Nespresso for partnering to bring this post to life! 

Feels like my Nespresso Machine is already a member of the family with each morning cup.
