"We have searched far and wide to find creative, customizable & thoughtful gifts for Mother’s Day. Why? Because that is what the day is all about – showing Mom you care. We have made it easy for you. Try to make her feel special on this one day because being a mom is her starring role!
Dean & Deluca - There are many gourmet food resources from which to order (see our gourmet section), however D&D has raised the bar in the gift giving arena offering the ability online for customers to create their own basket. First, pick the basket or container you like, then pick a theme for the basket - the software tells you how many "spaces" are available to fill in your basket & shows all the options to fill the basket. Ingenious! A unique gift created by you for your mom, nice touch.
Rent Mother Nature - Treat her to Farm fresh harvests (and also help family farms)...Rent a Maple Tree, a Cow, a Goat or choose from 20 different crops. Mom will receive a parchment-like certificate, beautifully illustrated, embossed w and personalized lease document, updates on the progress & the final products at harvest. For example, if you choose the Goat Lease, your gift recipient will receive the fresh Chèvre cheese that is the product of the milk of their very own 'French Alpine' Goat, who lives on a farm in the Berkshires. They select the goat and the milking date. Four weeks later, the cheese will be delivered directly to their door.
Cutie Pie Cookie Company – Design cookies especially for Mom. Remember when she saved your art work forever – now she can share it with friends over tea, or savor them all to herself! Bet she can’t part with the last one, it will end up on the fridge with a magnet on the back! If your inner artist isn't speaking, just upload a pic of the two of you – this idea is a winner.
ABChocolates – Another fun way to let her know what's in your heart.....send a custom ”telegram” message to Mom entirely created in chocolate. Each letter in the message is a small block of chocolate. The keepsake wooden box, with its custom designed telegram-style label, will let Mom remember this special gift.
Custom Fortune Cookies - How fun would it be to give her a Chinese take-out box full of fortune cookies with sentiments created especially for her?
