First up, let's talk about tantalizing our taste buds with tea-infused culinary creations. Imagine a spread of mini quiches infused with Lavender Earl Grey tea, or fluffy scones with a hint of chai. The possibilities are endless when you start experimenting with tea as an ingredient in your brunch menu.

DIY Tea Blending Station

Imagine a corner of your brunch space dedicated to the art of tea blending. Here, your guests can mix and match different teas, herbs, and spices to create their unique blend. It's not just a drink; it's a personalized experience!

Elegant Afternoon Tea for Brunch

Who says afternoon tea is just for the afternoon? Transform this elegant tradition into a brunch affair. Picture a table adorned with vintage teacups, a selection of fine teas, and delicate brunch items like tea sandwiches, fruit tarts, and of course, a variety of scones with clotted cream and jam.

Galentine's Garden Party with DIY Floral Station and Photo Booth

Take advantage of the early spring weather by hosting a garden brunch. Decorate with floral arrangements and serve a range of tea-based cocktails and mocktails. Think hibiscus iced tea with a splash of sparkling water or a matcha green tea latte. A garden setting provides a beautiful backdrop for a day filled with laughter, conversation, and delicious tea-inspired drinks.

Also consider setting up a DIY floral bouquet station with popular flowers like roses, daisies, lilies, and some wildflowers for variety. Make sure you gather the necessary supplies too: greenery and fillers, scissors, and floral shears, floral tape and wire, ribbons and twine, vases or water buckets, and gloves and waste bins. 

To complete your immaculate Galentine's Day Garden Party, have a photo booth ready to go for your lovely ladies, so you can capture all the memories. Set up a backdrop with fun props like heart-shaped glasses, feather boas, and funny hats. You can use a polaroid camera for instant photos or set up a tripod with a smartphone. This is a great way for everyone to take a piece of the day home with them.

"Secret Cupid" Gift Exchange

Add a twist to the traditional Secret Santa by doing a 'Secret Cupid' gift exchange. Have everyone bring a small, wrapped gift. It could be something handmade, a cute accessory, or even a book. Draw names to decide who gets which gift. It’s a sweet way to show appreciation for your friends and share some Galentine’s Day love.

Thinking of the perfect gift for your next gift exchange? Consider giving the Tea Bento Box or any of large tea tubes from Tea with Tae. These make for unique and affordable gifts, perfect for any occasion (but especially Galentine's Day!).
