As a mom, I know a good Mother’s Day gift when I see one. I mean, don’t get me wrong: we love the homemade handprint crafts, but it’s not something we can actually use. And we do a lot throughout the year – we could always use a helping hand and a little bit of spoiling too. These Mother’s Day gifts are useful, helpful, and will be greatly appreciated by any and every mom out there.
HelloFresh kits. If someone had told me being a grownup would mean coming up with dinner ideas for the rest of my life, I might have reconsidered this whole adulting thing. HelloFresh kits eliminate the guesswork, shopping, and prepping, and do all the heavy lifting for suppertime. And they don’t just have kits for dinner – they now have incredibly delicious and easy to prepare kits for dessert and brunch!
Crate & Barrel always have beautiful gifts for the home, especially the kitchen. Two of my faves that I’d LOVE to receive for Mother’s Day: their Breville Bambino Plus Stainless Steel Espresso Machine, which is possibly the cutest espresso machine on the market – it brews professional-quality espresso and steams ethereal microfoam at home. I also adore their 10-piece bakeware set in slate blue- it’s such a stately colour and it’s made of carbon steel, plus the collection includes everything a mom who loves to bake (like me!) would need or want.
Quiet reading time with kiddos can be a lovely activity. Need some title suggestions? Try My Mom Is Magical, I Love You Like Yellow, or I Really Like Mom from Manda Publishers.
Le Creuset just released a new line of beautifully coloured cookware in Pêche, the perfect shade for spring. It’s warm and vibrant, glossy and gradated, with rosy undertones that warm the spirit and brighten the palate with its easy charm.
