Five Mother’s Day Gifts that Moms *Actually* Want
Posted on 03 May 2023
Spring is in the air and the flowers are blooming, which means that Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Whether or not your mom or mom-like figure is a Colorado native, leveraging the state’s outdoor lifestyle, natural beauty, and access to countless amenities will add a special and personal touch to your gesture. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of five unique gifts that mom is sure to love.
Meats and Cheeses and Crackers, Oh My!
If your mom loves to host and entertain in her beautiful Reunion home, consider gifting her a personalized charcuterie kit. Purchase a handmade wood charcuterie board from a local artisan before gathering cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and other delicious toppings to create a thoughtful and unique gift. If she’s a culinary aesthetic type, she might even love assembling a board herself to show off at her next gathering or to enjoy as a tasty snack with her family. No matter which direction you choose to go, you’ll have a mom with a full stomach and fuller heart.
Attn: Rugged Moms
For the outdoorsy mom who relishes spending time in stunning Colorado nature, getting her some camping gear is a perfect way to show her how much you care. Buying her new s’mores sticks, a set of mountain pie makers, or a LifeStraw Personal Water Filter will help her take her next camping trip to another level. These thoughtful gifts — and our summer camping tips — will make her time in the great outdoors even more enjoyable and memorable, especially since she’ll have a memento of your love to bring along.
Top Chef: Mother’s Day
For the mom who loves to chef away in her gorgeous Reunion kitchen, a Le Creuset Dutch oven is a must-have kitchen tool. These high-quality pots are perfect for cooking everything from stews and soups to roasts and casseroles. No need to have style worries: They come in a variety of lovely colors to match your mom’s kitchen decor. Whether she’s making a delicious family dinner or going all-out to whip up a feast for a neighborhood party, she’s sure to love cooking up a storm with her new Dutch oven and will appreciate the durability and quality of this timeless culinary essential.
Fun with Fungi
Does your mom have a green thumb or is she interested in growing her own food? Even if she simply loves umami flavors, try getting her a Back to the Roots Organic Mushroom Growing Kit. This fun and easy-to-use project will allow your mom to grow her own gourmet mushrooms right in her own kitchen. Not only is this a unique and fun gift, but it’s also a sustainable way for your mom to enjoy fresh, organic produce from home. She’ll have a blast watching the fungi sprout before her eyes — and even more fun tossing her very own mushrooms into salads, pastas, and more.
Making Memories
Finally, the best gift you can give your mom is spending a little quality time together. No matter if it’s brunch at a local restaurant, a day of working on craft projects, or a weekend excursion to breathtaking Eldorado Canyon State Park, the memories you create together will be a gift that your mom will cherish forever. Be sure to snap some pictures as a keepsake that will always spark joy when you see them!
Whether she enjoys entertaining, camping, cooking, gardening, or spending time outdoors, we’re sure that your mom will have a perfect Mother’s Day if you take our gift advice. And as you celebrate this important day with the influential women in your life, remember to appreciate the beauty of your Colorado community and all that it has to offer.
