This list of 20 Mother’s Day edible gift ideas will show your loving effort to help you mom enjoy her special day. This could show her more effectively how much you appreciate her lifetime of helping you.
For those who aren’t very creative, there’s always the big box of chocolates, a cake with her name spelled out in icing, a dozen fancy cupcakes, or some gourmet jelly beans. This year, instead of simply buying the usual things for Mom on Mother’s Day, create personally-prepared and unique edible gifts.
Homemade edible mother’s day gifts
You can make homemade Mother’s Day edible gifts, including seasoning mixes, truffles, scones, cakes, cookies, pies, and candies. You will find below edible gift ideas for mother’s day!
Preserved fruits
If you prefer to prepare sweet preserves for your Mom, instead of vegetables, fill the gift jars with strawberries, raspberries, oranges, or other fruits. Of course, your labels would have to be something like Sweets for the Sweetest Mom in the World.
You can create some wonderful edible gifts for Mom or Grandma. She may not only enjoy eating your preserves, but feel some nostalgia as she remembers the long-ago days when her Mom created her own preserves.
Homemade pickles
Get pickling jars and complete instructions on how to prepare old-fashioned preserves. Choose fresh cucumbers, green tomatoes, squash, cauliflower, miniature corn, or other vegetables—print special labels with some original names—for example, Perfect Pickles for My Perfect Mom.
Home-frozen homemade dinners
Whether your Mom is a busy career woman or retiree, she’d appreciate a week’s worth of frozen dinners. It won’t be those tasteless 99-cent specials from the supermarket, but high-quality homemade foods she can quickly prepare at the end of a busy day.
Buy frozen dinner containers, and make your Mom seven tasty meals, each containing totally fresh ingredients. If you don’t already know, find out her favourites in meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. Keep your Mom’s health needs in mind with your use of salt, spices, and other considerations. Cook them, place in individual dinner servings in the containers, and flash freeze them.
Put all seven meals together into a gift box, wrap them together in fancy paper and ribbons, and deliver to your Mom on her special day. Place them immediately in her freezer, so she can use the meals whenever she desires. For the gift card or label, you can come up with an appropriate message, such as A Week of Homemade Frozen Dinners for My Warmly Delightful Mom.
