If you're like most millennials, you probably have at least one friend who is a bona fide hipster. Maybe you're even one yourself, and that's okay. After all, while hipsters sometimes get a bad rap from more conventional folks, they're often just individuals who enjoy unique fashion, food, and beverages. If you're racking your brain for an appropriate gift to give to the hipster friend in your life, food and beverages are two perfect and relatively inexpensive ways to show them your love.

Food for Foodies

Hipsters and foodies go hand in hand. Whether it's chic dining experiences or intricate home-cooked meals, hipsters tend to love gorging themselves on unique meals. Luckily, you don't have to be a gourmet chef to impress your friend with the gift of food.

If you want to take the easy route, give the hipster in your life gift cards to some of the more obscure and artsy restaurants in your town. If you're not a foodie yourself, you need to do some research in advance to find out which local restaurants are the hippest. Browse local foodie feeds on social media sites like Facebook, Reddit, and Snapchat to find out which restaurants the in-crowd is dining at nowadays.

If you want to get more personal, put together a custom gift basket containing an assortment of ingredients for home-cooked meals. Find out your friend's favorite meals and piece together a collection of nonperishable foods that they can prepare for themselves. Keep in mind that hipsters tend to love locally-sourced organic ingredients, so stick to those as much as possible. You get bonus points if you buy them from a local farmer's market or street vendor.

Give the Gift of Caffeine

If there's one thing that hipsters tend to love as much as unique foods, it's coffee. Whether it's a cup of joe to start the day or a steaming cup in an artsy cafe, hipsters can't get enough of their favorite caffeinated beverage. 

Give your friend the gift of convenience by buying them a subscription to a coffee delivery service, like Five Star Water. It will save them from having to make their own brew in the morning and from having to drink whatever uncool blend is served at their workplace. Coffee delivery services offer a variety of flavors from a multitude of different vendors. That means your friend can choose their favorite roast from whatever unique locale it is that best satisfies their hipster palate. It saves you the trouble of having to hunt down some obscure blend, and saves your friend the trouble of having to boil their own water.
