Gift Ideas for the Foodie Mom

The mothers in our lives are many. They are our wives, sisters, mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmas, and friends. Sometimes they are biological, other times they are closer than kin. Since they likely will already be showered with flower bouquets and potted orchids, it’s not a bad idea to think outside of the box with some unique gifts to show thoughtfulness and love.

Adopt something

Moms are our first source of food, and what better way to connect to that theme than to nurture and support the suppliers of our food. At Mad Rose Foods, you can adopt a beehive or an olive tree along with a subscription to artisanal Italian honey or extra virgin olive oil. These tasty gifts not only support small family farms but also open up the recipient to the seasonal varieties of these products.

Wine with a side of flowers

Rather than abandon flowers altogether, why not give mom a bouquet of flavors and freshly picked stems. Fox Fodder Farm in New York, for one, offers a beautiful gift set of rose wine from Catalunya, Spain, and a unique seasonal bouquet, perfect for the wine-loving mom.

Empower women with coffee

City Girl Coffee Co. sources as much of their coffee as possible from small women-owned or managed farms and co-operatives. On top of that, a portion of each sale goes to organizations that support the success of women in their country of origin. They offer “sipscriptions” of their coffee delivered every month, or you can make a one time purchase of one of their gift sets.
