Gifts For Moms Who Love Food As Much As We Do

Mother’s Day and food go hand-in-hand — blame the charming (but dubiously enjoyable) tradition of breakfast in bed. Despite our belief that no one actually enjoys eating eggs in such close proximity to their pillowcases, the May 9 celebration of your mother will likely involve something edible. Instead of serving up waffles meant to be consumed while lying down, why not go with a food gift that will last long after Mother’s Day is over?

With all our moms have done for us throughout the years — from bandaging booboos to explaining how tax returns work — a single day’s worth of gourmet goods seems paltry. Instead, we rounded up the most delicious presents for the most amazing women in our lives to enjoy all month long. Another plus? No cleanup required — but coffee is still encouraged.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
