Teas are the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

Gift teas for Mother’s Day to warm her heart and her belly.
My kids are gifted at gift-giving.
It’s a daunting task, trying to find a gift for your Mother that can even come close to matching her blessing you with the gift of life, but my children have done a pretty fine job. Every year when my Birthday or Mother’s Day comes around, I’ve been pampered and presented with a variety of thoughtful tokens of their love and affection. Amongst my favorites – are homemade coupons that earn me free car washes, a day free of cooking, foot rubs, and beyond-blissful massages. It may not quite make up for those twenty-something hours of labor, but it’s a start.
Finding the perfect gift for your Mother isn’t always a walk in the park. Thankfully there is a simple solution that can be as simple or elaborate as your tastes…and budget allow.
Fine teas, tea-making accessories, and even beautiful teapots make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts for almost every mom in your family, from your mom, sister, aunt, and grandmother to that wonderful woman who’s almost like a mom to you.
A good tea can stand alone
If your budget is so tight it squeaks, or you have a lot of wonderful moms to shop for, fear not. A box or tin of fine loose tea is an affordable, thoughtful gift that fits into almost any budget. Or choose tea bags or sachets for easy brewing anytime.
If your mom is the high-energy type, consider a robust black like an Irish or English Breakfast Tea. For a mom who’s a bit more laid back and into the healthy side of life, a flavorful green tea might be just the ticket. And if your mom passes on the caffeine, an herbal blend (technically called a tissane, not a tea) will win you points on Mom’s Day.
Add some accessories
If you’ve selected a loose tea, treat mom to a new tea infuser or strainer to make brewing the perfect cup easier. Other tea-making accessories include tea scoops, pretty jars for storing tea, and even a little plate made just for soggy teabags (no one wants that on their saucer! )
And then there’s the cup
A pretty tea cup and saucer set is natural for a Mother’s Day present and goes perfectly with all kinds of gift teas. Or even better, buy two so you and mom can have tea for two any time you want.
If your mom’s not the tea cup and saucer sort, buy her a big colorful mug to make her morning or late-night cup of tea.
Don’t forget the teapot
Even if your mom prefers teabags over loose tea, a teapot is a wonderful tea gift. For the best brew, opt for a rounded teapot. The swirl of water in the round body of a classic teapot brings out the richness in the flavor of almost any kind of tea.
Do be sure the teapot you select is food-safe. Some decorative teapots are pretty but aren’t meant to be used with tea. (Besides, does your mom want to drink tea that comes out of a Darth Vadar-shaped pot? I think not!)
