Bubble Tea Christmas Gifts 2026: Kits, Cans and Collectibles
Ning MaThe TeaJoy Christmas gifts that do the most are our three bubble tea kits. Each is a boxed set that makes four drinks with no boiling, for £13.49 or £13.99. Around them sit key chains from £7.99 for the stocking, 12-packs of cans for the fridge, and the TeaJoy Labubu collectibles at £25.99 for a bigger present. We dispatch orders the next day, DPD delivers on a 2 to 4 working day service, and UK delivery is free from £25.
We already have a bubble tea gift guide by occasion, from birthdays to Secret Santa, and our bubble tea gifts and accessories guide sorts the merch by price. This one is for Christmas: gifts by the person on your list, a budget table that marks the free delivery line, and what to know before you order.
Christmas gifts by who you are buying for
Someone new to bubble tea
Start with the Fruit Tea Kit at £13.49. It makes two Passionfruit & Strawberry and two Mango & Passionfruit drinks with popping boba, and all you add is water and ice: a syrup sachet, 300ml of water, a boba sachet, then ice. Nothing is cooked and there is no milk to choose, so it is the easiest first kit to give. Our guide to the best bubble tea kits sets all three side by side. Buying for a child? Can children drink bubble tea sets out what our packs say on age, caffeine and sugar.
A milk tea fan
The Milk Tea Kit, also £13.49, makes two Classic Milk Tea and two Brown Sugar Milk Tea. The chewy pearls are instant tapioca, so there is no pan to boil. Stir a tea powder sachet into 300ml of milk or a milk alternative, add the tapioca and ice, and the drink is ready in about 20 seconds.
A matcha drinker
The Matcha Bubble Tea Kit (£13.99) is the one matcha kit in our range, and it gives two kinds of drink from one box: two Matcha & Strawberry, made with milk, and two Strawberry & Mango fruit teas, made with water. Every drink gets its own sachet of popping boba.
A teenager or a collector
TeaJoy Labubu Joy in blue and TeaJoy Labubu Hope in orange are soft plush art-toy figures for a shelf, a desk or a bedside table, at £25.99 each. They are limited-run collectibles, and once they are gone, they are gone. Joy and Hope together come to £51.98. For a smaller present, the TeaJoy Labubu Key Chain (£9.99) is the pocket-sized version, on a gold-tone clasp.
A vegan, or someone whose diet you do not know
Every TeaJoy drink is vegan-friendly, allergen free and halal, and the whole range is gluten free, which helps when you are buying for someone and do not know what they eat. The Milk Tea Kit contains no milk at all. Made up with oat or soy milk, it is a vegan milk tea. Every can and kit is set out product by product in is bubble tea vegan, gluten free and halal.
The whole household over Christmas
For a house full of people, count drinks rather than presents. A 12-pack of Peach & Mango Bubble Tea Cans or Passionfruit & Strawberry Bubble Tea Cans is £30, which works out at £2.50 a can. Each 330ml can has the popping boba already inside and a paper straw attached, and the can says to chill and shake well before serving. If the household would rather make their own, the Fruit Tea Kit and the Milk Tea Kit together are £26.98 for eight drinks, and all three kits are £40.97 for twelve.

TeaJoy, Manhua Cha and Bubbleology kits compared
Manhua Cha and Bubbleology both sell kits built around choice. Ours are portioned: each drink has its own sachets of tea and boba, with nothing to boil. Checked on each brand's own website, 30 September 2026.
| Kit | TeaJoy home kits | Manhua Cha Build Your Own Kit | Bubbleology Fruit Mixology Kit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks the flavours | Set: two flavours, two drinks of each | The buyer: a tea base and topping for every 4 drinks, in kits of 4, 8, 12 or 20 | The person making it: "12 possible flavour combos" |
| Boba | One sachet per drink | Tapioca pearls, popping boba, coconut jelly or fruit jellies | Four 100g pots of popping boba, added to each glass |
| Kettle needed | No | Not stated on the kit page | For the jasmine tea, 100ml of hot water, or skip the tea |
| Dispatch | The next day | Within 2 to 3 working days | Aim: within 3 business days |
For someone who loves to experiment, Manhua Cha and Bubbleology give more room to mix. For a present that works the same way every time, ours is the simpler box: a milk tea is ready in about 20 seconds.
