Creative Mother's Day Gift Ideas
Whether it’s an early-morning breakfast, a mid-day bubbly brunch, or a decadent dinner and dessert, Mother’s Days in the past have often been spent at one of Mom’s favorite local eateries. We plan ahead to set the reservation, we dress in our Sunday best, and we do everything we can to keep any stress off of Mom’s radar. Now, as we all know, things don’t always go as smoothly and as we hope, but regardless of any hiccups along the way, the overall goal of the day remains constant – a special day for Mom.
This year, we all have an awesome opportunity to get creative with our Mother’s Day gift ideas and do something a little different for the Moms in our lives! Not sure where to start? Well, don’t you worry; we’re here to help you create the perfect at-home Mother’s Day experience that’s sure to be one for the memory book.
First things first, we need to take a step back and really think about the question, “who is the Wonder Woman that we call Mom?” Is she the rock of the family who puts everyone’s needs around her before her own? Is she the nature-lover who finds joy in sharing all that Mother Nature has to offer? Or, maybe she’s the adventure-seeker who can find any excuse to get the family out to try something fun and new. Heck, she may be a little bit of everything all rolled into one! No matter what it is that makes her sparkle, we’ve got a little something for every Mom out there.
For Mom’s Far From Home
Does mom live far away or is she in quarantine? We ship to over 40 states so you can send her a little bright sunshine with our newly released Summer Peach or Rose 4-Pack. Shipping takes 3-5 days so order now so that she can join you on a Zoom call and you can toast together!
Brunch in Bed
Moms spend so much time caring for loved ones that they often forget to set aside time for themselves. This Mother’s Day, what better gift to give than a day of pampering, rest, & relaxation -- topped off with some bubbles, of course. Our Brunch in Bed package, filled with locally sourced ingredients, is sure to WOW Mom from the moment she wakes up!
For the mom with a bit of a sweet tooth, we have Sourdough French Toast with Great Country Farms sourdough & fresh eggs. And, for the mom who craves something more on the savory side, we have your choice between GCF asparagus, goat cheese and Baker’s Pork Hillbilly bacon. Last, but most certainly not least, we can’t forget the bubbles with a bottle of Bluemont Vineyard’s Sparkling Peach to create your own Mom-mosa Bar! Each Brunch package includes recipe and cooking instruction, as well as all of the farm fresh ingredients that you’ll need to put together the perfect morning for mom!
Making Mom-eries
With so many of us spending more time than ever within the familiar walls of our homes, we’re all longing to reconnect with nature in some way or another. Sunshine and fresh air help to fill our bodies with essential vitamins and endorphins. And whether you live in the country, the suburbs, or the city, Victory Gardens make the perfect Mother’s Day activity to bring the family together while getting back to the basics and back to nature!
With the help of our favorite farmers down at Great Country Farms, we’ve put together a Seeds & Sprouts Victory Garden package -- perfectly suited for any well-lit window sill -- and a Green Goddess Victory Garden package -- a great patio or backyard starter kit.
Each Victory Garden package includes:
Green Goddess

Cucumber plant
Lettuce plant
Marigold plant
Planting & care instructions
