Flavored ground coffee for a gift?

I'd like to get my husband a couple of flavored coffee packages as part of a gift this year (along with the mini skinny syrups Christmas flavors kit). Looking for suggestions.

Additional info:

He prefers less bitter(?) coffee. He mostly drinks Dunkin at home. He isn't a big fan of Starbucks. He likes the brand his office buys, but I think it is only for businesses/not sold in stores.

He has had most (possibly all) of the flavored Dunkin ones (White Chocolate Peppermint, Caramel, Dulce de Leche, etc). Dunkin doesn't seem to often add new flavors. While I could get those, I'd like to get him something new and unique.

I have access to several grocery stores (Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Walmart, etc) and several of the discount stores (HomeGoods/TJMaxx, Tuesday Morning, etc).

Best ideas would be a specific brand/flavor you love that is on the mild side.

TIA!

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Brand? Solimo and AmazonFresh (Amazon brands) don't seem to have a flavored variety pack, at least not in ground coffee (maybe they do in pods).

    After looking at reviews online, I think "smooth" is the word I wanted to describe the type of coffee he prefers.

    My Mom has similar tastes. She likes Gloria Jeans flavored coffee.

    I agree with the suggestion of Gloria Jean's.

    Peet's Major Dickason blend is a favorite in our home but it'snot really "flavored" and quite intense/dark.

    Do you have a Cost Plus/World Market? I only drink coffee rarely, but I like some of their flavored coffees, especially the seasonal ones. They sell some in sample sizes.

    Do you have a Sprouts? Thier flavored coffees that you can grind yourself in the store are way better than the pre-packaged stuff.

    Yes, I do. I've never done that before. Maybe I'll feel gutsy!

    I almost bought these a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't ready to commit yet. It's a bit of a trek so I don't know if I'll get back there before I need the gift. Thanks for the info.

    Are they sold in local stores? I don't think I have time to order. (It's not a Christmas day present.)

    Depends on where you live....a few malls near me have Gloria Jeans storefronts.
