10 Mother’s Day 2021 Gift Ideas You Can Order Online Today

Mother’s Day 2021 is about 2 weeks away from this article’s publishing, so it is still not too late to do your share of gift shopping for this holiday. Below are timely 10 gift ideas — all immediately available for online-based ordering — of varying price points worth looking into for a friend and/or a loved one.

Jacques Torres Chocolate’s Holiday Offerings

Simply put, Jacques Torres is one of the world’s most famous pastry chefs and chocolatiers. Torres got his start as a chef in his native France, working under 2-star Michelin chef Jacques Maximin in the early 1980s. He went on to earn a Master Pastry Chef degree, and in 1986 Torres became the youngest person to ever win the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier Patissier De France competition. In 2000, Torres — also the recipient of the James Beard Foundation Pastry Chef Of The Year honors — moved on from Le Cirque and opened up a chocolate factory and retail store in Brooklyn. Less than 2 decades later, Torres now has stores all over New York City. 2 years back he opened Choco-Story New York: The Chocolate Museum & Experience, at which attendees discovered chocolate’s journey from tree to chocolate bar through a self-guided tour of what was believed to be New York’s first ever chocolate museum. Beyond overseeing those popular locations, Torres also stays busy as a judge on the Netflix series Nailed It and has notably authored several best-selling cookbooks over the years.

Jacques’ Mother’s Day collection includes decadent chocolate treats and mouth-watering cookies, all made from real ingredients. Its Mother’s Day Celebration Bundle includes “I Love Mom” Bonbons, a Chocolate Covered Marshmallow, Dark Chocolate Corn Flakes, Dark Chocolate Bark, an “Apple of My Eye” piece, Malt Ball, Mother’s Day Lollipops, and Mini Bars. Surely there is something for everyone in that offering.

Simplicity Teas

Is there anything better than a cup of tea to curb our anxious times or help us get to sleep? Simplicity Teas doesn’t think so. After all, there are many health benefits to drinking tea, as it is known to reduce high blood pressure, help with anxiety, improve brain function, optimize digestion, detox the body of waste, and prevent heart disease. With subscription services growing during COVID-19 quarantine, simply choose the one that has long-lasting health benefits via Simplicity Teas. Each month, subscribers receive a package of artisan loose leaf teas. And as an added bonus, the first package from Simplicity Teas also comes with a unique reusable infuser.

A gift from Simplicity Teas is a great reminder to take time for yourself and to be sure to focus on your overall well-being. In turn, it makes for a great present to treat yourself and/or somebody else.

Urikar is an industry leader in percussive therapy, as founded in Colorado in 2015. Urikar has a team of more than 100 professional engineers, and reportedly the company puts 20 percent of the company’s total budget into R&D annually. In turn, consistent product improvement is one of the key points of Urikar’s corporate culture.

Urikar’s product lines include percussive massage guns, sports and fitness equipment, and health devices. Its Urikar Pro 3 has been described as “the most silent massage gun ever,” as featuring a large 2600mah battery capacity and 30 speed levels. Its dual-bearing brushless motor quietly delivers up to 45 pounds of pressure, while the device can be easily-operated via an HD touch-sensitive screen and a smart timing function. Functionality-wise, its 180-degree rotating handle really allows you to really hit all parts of the body, helping its user overcome muscle soreness, relieve muscle tension and/or accelerate muscle recovery.

This handheld device is ergonomically-shaped to fit any runner’s hand while very easy to squeeze. It is rigid where it needs to be and compresses easily for quick hydration. It also has a flat bottom to provide a solid surface for filling. Furthermore, this incredible flask — as designed to be grip-free and lightweight — features double-wall construction to keep fluids cooler, longer.

Per its smart design and functionalist, its updated high flow Push-Pull Blast Valve cap has a quicker rebound to keep you hydrated on the go.

You ought to leave them amazed with how beautiful and thoughtful each item is while having a seamless giving experience.

Fire Dept. Coffee

For better and for worse, I drink a lot of coffee, and I do that just about every day. But sometimes it becomes challenging to find a brand of coffee that you can love the taste of and also get behind from a philosophical viewpoint. Fire Department Coffee — as founded in Rockford, Illinois — is both run and made by firefighters. The brand not only donates a substantial amount of its profits to firefighter-related causes, yet it also provides free coffee to a lot of firehouses. The growing brand has spirit-infused coffees and is Stipe Miocic-approved; Miocic is the namesake of Fire Dept’s Stipe Miocic Extra Strength Coffee.

My current favorite offering from Fire Department Coffee is the brand’s Bourbon Infused Coffee. Its bourbon infused coffee beans are bold and smooth, going down easy just like your favorite bottle of bourbon. But for those folks who like to regularly change up their coffee game, Fire Department Coffee has a fun, subscription-based Coffee Of The Month Club. This growing company — which I had the pleasure of visiting on-site in Rockford, Illinois in 2019 — also runs the Fire Dept. Coffee Foundation.

Eastern Standard Provisions Co.

Eastern Standard Provisions Co. — as known to be a favorite of legendary Chicago broadcaster Oprah Winfrey — is a popular Boston-based gourmet snack brand that ships its hand-twisted pretzels and artisanal salts right to your door. Each of its pretzels is crafted by hand with the finest, all-natural ingredients. All of the pretzels arrive fresh via mail, meaning all the customer needs to do is heat and eat them. The individually-wrapped pretzels are also perfect for freezing, giving the customer an option to enjoy them one-by-one over time.

Under the guidance of well-known restaurateur Garrett Harker and head baker Lauren Moran, Eastern Standard Provisions recently launched a “You Lucked Out” Gourmet Soft Pretzel Pack, as priced at $29.99. The set includes 4 signature Wheelhouse soft pretzels, 12 Turnbuckle gourmet soft pretzel sticks, 1 Chili Lime salt pack, 1 Medium grain pretzel salt pack, and a fun collectible “You Lucked Out” sticker. The pretzels arrive ready to be baked and enjoyed hot, or can be popped in the freezer to be enjoyed later. But believe you me, the pretzels alone are worth the cost of this set.

And now, just in time for Mother’s Day comes the brand’s Mother’s Day Gift Box, which includes 2 Wheelhouses, 1 bag of One Timer Soft Pretzel Bites, 1 bag of 6 Turnbuckles, 1 bag of 6 Slidepieces, 1 bag of White Truffle Salt, 1 bag of Strawberry & Cream Gourmet Topper, 1 bag of Pretzel Salt, and a Mother’s Day Sticker on the outside of the box. Great stuff.
