Mother’s Day is almost here. Well, at least in enough time to get her what she really wants. While you could always fix her dryer that isn’t drying, why not surprise her additionally with something special? Landing on Sunday, May 11th, we’ve narrowed down potential gifts for you to get mom, taking out the stress and fret—no more “I dunno what to get” excuses. Plus, a majority of the things we handpicked will give you the excuse to visit mom for yourself to enjoy, too (shhh don’t tell her that)!
1) Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer (Paderno World Cuisine A4982799)
Because, everyone, especially mom, needs a fancy, spiral veggie slicer. This thing comes with 3 sets of blades so mom can make zucchini spaghetti, apple spirals, and hello curly fries. BPA-free, the slicer is perfect for your mom to impress guests with her awesome veggie and fruit slicing skills. The best part? No outlet or batteries needed—and it’s only going for $35.96!
2) OXO Steel Vacuum Wine Preserver
You can never go wrong with wine. Ever. Mom had to put up with you, so now give her a reason to relax. Along with that bottle, why not get your mom a wine preserver? Chances are when she cracks it open, she’s not going to drink it all to herself on Mother’s Day. For $15.22, the wine preserver allows mom to pump out the air, preserving the flavor of said wine. Practical and definitely useful for your hard-working wine enthusiast.
3) Chef's Choice 860 Pie Maker, Petite
Mmmm…pie. Whether it’s sweet or savory, everyone, including you and your mother, can enjoy some homemade pie. She doesn’t want to always bake a big pie to herself, and now she doesn’t have to. This petite pie maker allows mom to make 4 small pies that are 4” in diameter. If you do end up getting this “I can’t believe mom doesn’t have one” small kitchen appliance, grab up some pre-made pie dough and your favorite canned filling. Why? So when you give her the gift of pie, she’ll make you one right there on the spot. Not bad for $79.95.
These ice balls are awesome. There’s no need to purchase $100+ ice press machine when you can buy mom a silicone mold that’ll do the same job for $14.97. These types of cubes melt much slower because of their surface area and are perfect for homemade iced coffees and more. Dishwasher safe, the sphere ice ball maker won’t leak or tip in the freezer—it’s a convenient impression that doesn’t take much effort. Mom can even add in fresh mint, limes, lemons and more into the ice ball cubes for a tasty infusion of flavor. A must-have for moms who entertain.
5) OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner
No one likes soggy salad, and salad prep is a major drag. If mom likes making salads all of the time, why not get her a salad spinner? With a few easy pushes, damp salad has now turned into dry, crunchy salad. The other cool thing about this kitchen device is mom can separately use the basket as a colander, and she can always store her leftover salad right in the refrigerator. Multiple uses for a great price of $29.95 (large, clear version).
6) Chef's Choice 854 Classic Pro 4-Square Waffle Maker
The title says it all. Waffle maker. Every mom needs one of these. Besides waffles, mom can make hash browns and brownies with one of these bad boys. For only $94.95, you’re giving the gift of breakfast, lunch and dinner waffles. Your mom can cook up a quad of waffles in literally 2 minutes. Don’t forget the syrup! That gives you just enough time to stop over in case she can’t finish them all. You can never go wrong with that.
7) Chef'n Tea Tree Tea Infuser and Saucer (Stainless)
Would you like a cup of tea? Mom would. It’s time to have a tea party for a whopping $19.99. This fun gift holds up to 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea that your mother absolutely loves. The stainless steel ball is detachable so she can spoon her tea leaves right in. She simply turns over the saucer with the attached stainless steel ball on the branch into her cup of hot water. Let the infusion begin while the saucer keeps the heat in. When the tea is finished steeping, all mom has to do is turn over the infuser, and those annoying tea drips end up on the saucer, not her just-cleaned countertops.
8) Wilton Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot
We love chocolate. You love chocolate. Your mom loves chocolate. Give the gift of melted chocolaty goodness to mom. She no longer has to microwave it, or double broiler it. With the ability to chocolate-coat anything and everything from strawberries to pretzels to rice crispy treats that you oh so love, mom can also easily melt down Candy Melts confectionery coating to make…candy. For only $18.67, let’s just say, mom can never go wrong with a chocolate melting pot.
9) Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker (Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart)
Homemade frozen anything beats the store-bought stuff. Instead of a regular ole ice cream maker, your mother needs options—and now she has them. From frozen yogurt, sorbet and ice cream, mom will be able to make a frozen treat in 3 different ways. If you have had an ice cream maker on your mind to get her, this 3-in-1 small kitchen appliance is sure to get use out of it that makes its $80.03 price tag well worth it. Whether she’s wanting to indulge or make a healthier version of an icy treat, you bet you’ll be able to come on over to help her eat it, too.
10) SodaStream Source Home Soda Maker Starter Kit
Does your mom love sparkling soda water? It’s time to invest into a SodaStream for her. She can bubble up some ordinary, boring tap water in less than 30 seconds. Who needs that aspartame or high fructose corn syrup in their drink? Not your mom. She can happily choose through 60 various flavors to add to her sparkling water. Fizz it up with this starter for only $99.39; that's not a bad gig if bubbly drinks are a thing of the ‘now’ for your mother.
