Gourmet Gift Baskets (Mother's Day) Review

Happy Mother's Day Gift Basket from Gourmet Gift Baskets

Raise your hand if you're stumped for what to get Mom this Mother's Day. Trust me, you're not alone. Flowers are good, but every year? Bor-ing. Candy? Even more boring (not to mention unhealthy.) My Mom loves tea, and Gourmet Gift Baskets happens to offer the quintessential tea lovers gift basket; and get this, you can order it online in a couple of minutes, kick back and wait for Mom to shower you with hugs, kisses and thank-you's.

Julie's Datery Hazelnut Chocolate Food Review

Julie's Datery Hazelnut Chocolate

Sunday's Mother's Day... the one day of the year Mom gets to take it easy. If she's lucky, she might even receive a (well-deserved) gift or two. Flowers and candy are proven winners; but it's important not to cut corners (you weren't going to CVS or Safeway, were you?) when it comes to quality. Enter local chocolatier Julie Reynes, founder & CEO of Julie's Datery to the rescue. Her Hazelnut Chocolate covered dates are affordable ($24.99 for a smartly wrapped 6.3 oz. box) healthy (gluten-free, non-GMO) and creative/delicious/original. Best of all, she's local (Alexandria, VA, Union Kitchen) and delivers. What more could you ask for?
