It’s only once a year, and let’s face it Mom does most everything for everyone – so take a few minutes and think of what she may like. At Food411 we have the highest appreciation for Moms so we spent a great deal of time searching way beyond the boring predictable choices. Here’s what we came up with:
How about presenting Mom with a beautiful silver fortune cookie – you can choose what you place inside – a small gift, a special quote or simply – I Love you. Whatever you choose she will cherish it forever.

We found a gift that will create a day spent on the coast of sunny California, Diamond Organics’s Costal Wine and Cheese, Fruit & Bread. Red wine from Napa's organic vineyards, cheese from dairy cattle raised with an ocean view, a baguette freshly baked in Santa Cruz, and a seasonal selection of fresh organic fruit - all in a woven basket. They will even included free overnight delivery to most locations! Grab the basket and spend some time with Mom at a park or your own backyard.
A very thoughtful & one of a kind gift is giving Mom a “lease” from Rent Mother Nature.
What the heck is that you are wondering? Here is how it works:
A personalized lease document is provided for Mom. As the crop is nurtured- progress reports are sent to Mom, they will also send a photo of your tree, hive, cow, sheep, or field hard at work. The grand finale, is delivered right to Mom’s door, the fresh natural products. You provide Mom with a unique gift & help America's family farms. Choose the lease that she will like best from a Goat or Cow (cheese) to a Maple tree (syrup) and so many other options.
How about an ice cream party:
Grab a few items from this special collection & surprise Mom with a creative and very thoughtful surprise!
Etabletop’s - Jonathan Adler’s ice cream parlour pieces
Grab her favorite ice cream or yogurt and be sure to add an extra special topping such as Robert Lambert’s decadent chocolate sauces or Intensely fresh flavors of syrups that are full of pure exotic flavor!
She will have a unique & special day to remember & she will be left with very special tableware that will remind her of this day.
Serve Mom a gourmet dinner at home. Fortunately, we discovered a special resource that will do all the work for you. It’s so much more thoughtful than going out to a restaurant – because on Mother’s Day restaurants are not a place anyone wants to be!
Gourmet Station - You selected a 3 or 4 course complete gourmet meal & it is delivered ready for you to heat & enjoy in only 30 min. Just light the candles and be sure to dress up and you will create an event that your Mom will never forget.
Special Chocolate always warms her heart, we found a company that is now creating chocolate that she can savor without guilt
Vere Chocolates -
Extraordinarily delicious dark chocolate that is rich with cocoa, low in sugar, totally natural and stands up to the world’s best chocolates.
Another terrific idea is chocolate covered strawberries – they are sooo delicious but very healthy! Just be sure to get the real stuff – big fresh strawberries with REAL chocolate. We can’t tell you how many mail order companies “chocolate” covered strawberries are not really covered in real chocolate!
Berry Gourmet – This father & son team will only use the best long stem strawberries and pure chocolate
Each and every day Mom needs a few minutes for herself, let her relax & unwind with a special tea or coffee
Adagio’s Tea for one – Just perfect, everything she needs to curl up with a soothing cup. The cup is Stylish and large. It comes with a matching glass saucer and lid. The sturdy metal infuser is the perfect way to prepare tea right in the cup. This set also includes a large tin of tea that you choose
Café La Semuse is a smooth Arabica bean that they promise is never bitter – we sampled this and they deliver on the promise! It has twice been awarded the Fancy Food Beverage award! Mom know this is a special coffee selected just for her. They also offer a beautiful mug that would be a nice addition to the coffee gift.
