What’s hot for gifting dads and grads this spring?
Just ask global consumer products leader Jarden Consumer Solutions. The company, which counts noted household names like Crock-Pot®, FoodSaver®, Margaritaville®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster®, Holmes® and Patton® among its family of brands, is identifying top trends in gifting for the busy spring shopping season. Whether shopping for Father’s Day (June 21) or a recent graduate, consumers who shop the trends will undoubtedly be heroes as the season’s gifts are unwrapped.
Gleaned from consumer feedback, three key trends will shape spring 2015 gifting, according to Mandy McCarthy, Vice President of Consumer Marketing, Jarden Consumer Solutions.
Check out the 3 Trends below and see the great products that will make great gifts this Spring and help you entertain this summer:
Trend #1: Get Personal
Gearing up for a fun brand ramp that invites modern consumers to “experience the taste,” the Mr. Coffee® brand recognizes consumers’ desire for superior quality and taste, while needing to control expense. The brand just launched a personal brewer that delivers the taste and convenience coffee lovers crave, but at a fraction of the cost of owning a pod brewer.
* NEW * MR. COFFEE® POUR-BREW-GO “Personal” Coffeemaker
I absolutely LOVE my new
Mr. Coffee® POUR-BREW-GO personal on-the-go coffeemaker (MSRP: $29.99) that delivers the taste and convenience coffee lovers crave, but at a fraction of the cost of owning a pod brewer. It allows consumers to brew their favorite coffee grounds directly into a colorful 16-ounce insulated travel mug for a quick, on-the-go solution without sacrificing quality or taste. No pod, grinder or other device is needed. Includes a removable, dishwasher safe personal filter basket. Available in a variety of bright and classic color s. Blue, Lime, Tangerine, Fuchsia and Black.
I love how easy it is to brew for a single person (ME!) every morning and then it keeps it warm for me if I get busy with the kids! It is easy to wash and easy to drink from! Plus, it doesn't take up much room on my counter!
