Food Town Tips for a SUPER Mother’s Day: Gifts, Meals and More

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, neighbor, and it’s the perfect time to honor the real-life superheroes who do so much for those they love. Whether you’re celebrating your mom, grandma or another incredible woman in your life, a little love paired with thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts can go a long way toward making a special lady’s day something great. (And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune!)

Your neighborhood grocery store loves nothing more than spreading smiles and making life a little easier. Here, we’ve pulled together some simple ways to make Mom’s big day extra special — from thoughtful surprises to delicious bites and sweet Mother’s Day gifts, too. Let’s get started!

Gather the Family for Mother’s Day Meals to Remember

Mom’s big day always falls on a Sunday, meaning no school or early morning rush! It’s the perfect time to get the kids involved in preparing special Mother’s Day Meals packed with big flavor and lots of love. Try one of our super simple 5 Ingredients or Less recipes, such as Buffalo Chicken Pizza or Peanut Butter Cup Napoleons. They’re a fun way to treat Mom to a homecooked meal with minimal prep work, cleanup and fuss. She won’t just love the flavors, either. She’ll appreciate all the effort that went into them!

Create Thoughtful DIY Mother’s Day Gifts

Looking for a creative present that feels personal? Head to our Home, Health & Beauty section and put together one of the best DIY Mother’s Day gifts there is — a spa-inspired gift basket! Fill it with Mom’s favorite bath products, lotions and magazines, toss in some chocolates and give her some well-deserved “me time.” Want to take the pampering up a notch? Explore our Food Facials Pinterest board to learn how to make even more DIY spa magic right at home!

Mother’s Day Kitchen Gifts Are Great for Those Who Love to Cook

For the culinary queen in your life, consider gathering fun finds from our International department and International Spice Station! Fill a basket with great ingredients and a printed recipe or two (our Recipes page is the perfect place to start!), then top it off with a hand-drawn Mother’s Day card from the kids. Mother’s Day kitchen gifts aren’t just a thoughtful option. They’re a great way to introduce the whole family to exciting new flavors. Just remember, it’s still her day. Don’t make her do the cooking!

Brighten Her Day with Mother’s Day Flowers

A beautiful bouquet of Mother’s Day flowers is a sure way to spread smiles — and brighten up Mom’s home or office for the coming week or longer! Dress them up with a nice vase and a bow, and pair them with candy to make things extra sweet. Stop by your Food Town to pick up a bunch today!

Fill the Pantry with Mom’s Faves for a Lasting Mother’s Day Gift

Does Mom have a coffee she loves? A go-to snack? A favorite soda she rarely indulges in? Grab a few of her must-haves during your next Food Town visit and stock the pantry or fridge. This simple gesture is a Mother’s Day gift that shows that you care and know her well. Not only that, but because you’re grabbing multiples, it’s sure to make her whole week (or longer) brighter!

Lending a Helping Hand is Among the Best Gifts for Mother’s Day

Sometimes the best gifts for Mother’s Day are things you can’t find in the store. Why not treat Mom to a break from the tasks she handles regularly? Fold the laundry, water her plants or tidy the kitchen — all day, or even all week! Want to make this gift even better? Put together a “promissory gift basket” filled with small treats and a promise to keep helping long after Mother’s Day is over.

Give the Gift of Choice This Mother’s Day: Gift Cards

Is the mom in your life typically too busy looking out for her loved ones to spend much time (or money) on herself? Mother’s Day gift cards are a great way to encourage her to treat herself — and a low-stress option for you, since she can pick out exactly what she wants! Swing by your neighborhood Food Town and shop our Gift Card Mall for all sorts of great options from top retailers and restaurants!

However you plan to celebrate Mom’s important day, remember: It’s not about how much you spend, but how very loved and appreciated you make her feel. Whether you’re cooking up something special, building a custom gift basket or keeping things simple with a card and flowers, your Food Town makes Mother’s Day gifts easy. Come shop — and save — with us soon!

From all of us at Food Town, Happy Mother’s Day to the heroes who save the day every day.
