Mother's Day: A CFG Gift Guide
As a team of mothers, we think about mother’s day quite a bit. Below are a few things we’d love to receive as gifts- or give to the mothers in our own life.
Pampering
The ultimate luxury is a night or two alone. Why not make it happen at the new Four Seasons Minneapolis?
A soothing bath is a key part of many a self-care routine, and we love the locally made #PurpleRain bath salts made with eucalyptus and lavender from a mother-daughter duo, Kobi Co.
Merewif’s Holmes Earrings in the shape of padlocks are the discreet bit of luxury we love in jewelry. (Buy them local from Parc Boutique.)
Upgrade the Kitchen
For the mom who loves to explore flavors, the single origin spices and gift packs from Diaspora Co. are worth their weight in gold.
For the gadget lover, the Vitamix A3500 blender is a dream. (Buy it local from Cooks of Crocus Hill).
The Naturalist
For the artistic gardener, Hotel Emery is hosting an event to teach making art out of air plants, moss, and other organic material.
More interested in growing vegetables than flowers? Seed Savers Exchange sells bundles of heirloom seeds, including balcony friendly and easy to grow varieties.
Want to enjoy nature from the inside, or quell some wanderlust? The beautiful board game Parks takes players through journeys fifty nine of the United States’ National Parks.
Or an avid camper? The Campout Cookbook takes cooking in the great outdoors seriously for seriously delicious results. (Buy it local from Magers and Quinn.)
The Party Animal
For the mom who loves a martini, we love to give a good gin, like local favorite Du Nord’s Prominence Gin.
Caviar is always appreciated for a cocktail party- or just with a cocktail. Williams Sonoma makes it easy to give that gift with their caviar kit.
A beautiful drink deserves a beautiful glass. We’re partial to these stunning pink coupes with gilded rims. (Buy them local from Paris Dining Club.)
Clay Lover
For the mama who always wanted to take a pottery class, Dock6 is offering a clay date to throw a mug or two of her own.
Or for someone who’s been searching for the perfect mug for a long time, East Fork’s The Mug is a cult favorite for a reason and comes in a variety of gorgeous glazes.
