As a mom, I always appreciate a thoughtful gift from my family. It’s seriously so sweet when they pick something out that they’ll know I’ll like. I also totally now realize how much moms deserve the super simple things like sleep, a quiet cup of coffee (or tea), appreciation, more sleep, and a day or two off every now and then to — do. whatever. we. want. Since Mother’s Day is coming up, if you’re going the gifting route I wanted to give you a rundown of my own favorites that are sure to make you or the mom in your life feel the love!
- MistoBox / There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning and let’s be honest, most moms don’t even get to enjoy it while it’s still hot. MistoBox is a personalized coffee subscription that lets them choose fresh-roasted coffee from one of 50+ award-winning roasters. A 12 oz. bag is shipped to their doorstep, on their schedule and I can tell you that I’ve ordered from them and loved their brews.
- French Press / Some people will tell you that a French press makes the best coffee. It takes a tiny bit of effort but does put out a ton of flavor. This one by Bodum was gifted to us at our wedding and I still use it often!
- Always Pan / The latest from Our Place does it all; it can fry, steam, saute, sauce, you-name-it…comes with a spatula AND has a built-in spoon rest. It claims to be a high-performance non-stick pan and I’m DEFINITELY here for that. Plus, it’s nice to look at. Right now, use their code GOODTASTE30 for $30 off!
- Porter Mug / While we’re talking drinks, this is my personal go-to travel mug during the week. It holds 16 ounces, has a silicone outer layer, and is dishwasher safe. I have it in blush but there are so many pretty colors to pick from.
- Capri Blue Volcano Candle / For candle lovers, this one never disappoints. It comes in a gorgeous glass jar which I repurpose when the wax burns out and BONUS: they recently added diffuser oil in the same scent if that’s more your jam.
- Compact Air Fryer / For someone who wants to try out the air fryer life, this little one by Dash is the perfect way to start. It comes in lots of fun colors and has a nice, small footprint.
- Jade Roller / Since moms can always use some self-care, relaxing at home with this jade roller will totally do the trick. Lots of rollers out there but this one tops the list!
- Birkenstock Sandals / These new EVA Birks are super cute and affordable. Who doesn’t love a good pair of slip-ons for summer? Honorable mention of these more house-style EMU slippers which are comfy and AND durable!
- Galison Puzzle / When it’s time for some zen, I’ll be honest – working a puzzle is my totally one of my guilty pleasures. Sometimes the kids will hang out and try to find a few pieces here and there but after they go to bed I can sit with some wine and just do something a little old school that’s easy and fun.
