Everclear

Homemade infusions are a great gift idea—offering unique flavors not seen in stores and a personalized, handcrafted touch. What’s better, they are so easy to make at home—simply add the flavor element of your choice to a neutral spirit, such as Everclear, and allow it to soak in the alcohol in order to extract the flavor. Virtually any flavor she loves can work in an infusion—from grapefruit to lavender—which can be enjoyed on its own or in a unique, top-notch cocktail crafted right in your kitchen. Stay tuned for the Pompelmoncello Rosemary Mojito. Recipe made with Everclear.

Montchevre Goat Cheese

K'UL Chocolate

The perfect gift doesn’t have to be monotonous or break the bank. Give mom a wellness treat that’s just as much healthy as it is delicious:  K’UL Chocolate. With each small batch crafted from the highest quality dark chocolate, and fused with special superfood ingredients like pomegranate and coconut (that aid in anti-aging), K’UL Chocolate makes the perfect Mother’s Day treat!

Tip: high quality dark chocolate has antioxidant flavanols that help reduce inflammation of the skin. It also increases circulation in the skin and improves its ability to retain moisture, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Super fruit, pomegranate, found in K’UL’s STAMINA bar contains special acids that support anti-aging by inhibiting free radical damage and protecting and preserving the collagen in your skin.

Mumm Napa Brut

Mumm’s Napa Brut’s signature rosé has an eye-catching pink coral color, robust red fruit flavors and an elegant finish. Pinot Noir is responsible for the wine’s soft texture and forward fruitiness, while the Chardonnay contributes structure and elegance – the perfect bubbly for Mom on Mother’s Day. Mumm Napa Brut is perfect for gift-giving and entertaining on Mother’s Day!

Clos Pegase Chardonnay

Clos Pegase 2014 Mitsuko’s Vineyard Chardonnay is another great pick for Mother’s Day. Notes: This amazing possesses intriguing complex aromas of ripe mango, papaya, Meyer lemon, Key lime, tarte tatin, white narcissus and beeswax, framed by spicy toasty oak. A rich yet perfectly balanced entry leads to a broad mid-palate with an energetic drive and delicious fruit, finishing with a fascinating tension between opulence and minerality.

KIND Bars

Another great gift idea for the health conscious mom KIND Bars, DIY a c pretty gift basket of KIND bars, selecting the flavors their mom likes. Another idea is to package a selection of KIND bars and give it to mom with a cheese board and a bottle of wine (great suggestions above).
