Yummy Mother's Day Ideas

Okay, I know there are a lot of ah-mahz-ing Mother’s Day Ideas out there … but, time and again, every mom I know (including myself) has told me she’s really just happy to get some love from her babies. Cards (hand-drawn preferred!), phone calls, even pasta necklaces… it really does NOT take much to please a mama.

I mean, nobody I know would turn down diamond earrings either, but… the point is… going the extra mile to show love can be so simple. In fact, when I saw what Whole Foods Market® sent me by way of creative (and yummy) DIY gift ideas… I’d venture to say you barely have to go across town for a thoughtful remembrance for mom this year!

yummy Mother’s Day gift ideas

I was at my local Whole Foods just the other week and commented on the lovely flower arrangements (Whole Trade!), handcrafted soaps, and pretty organic chocolate bars. (Try the Alter Eco Fair Trade Truffles!!!). That pretty much would fit any mom, don’t you think?

And Whole Trade items at Whole Foods benefit other kids and families around the world by helping send children to school, build learning centers, or just knowing you supported better working conditions for the crafter or harvester. That makes this mom happy!

for the gourmand mom…

Grill mom up a tasty lunch:

365 Everyday Value® Olive Oils

I’m sure I don’t have to tell most of you that this list is just a fraction of the great gift ideas you will find at Whole Foods. But I hope these combos I put together helped give you some ideas for Mother’s Day!

Which gift idea “combo” calls your name?
