Best kitchen gifts for Mother’s Day
Le Creuset
These little pots will ensure Mom always has fresh basil and thyme just a windowsill away. Le Creuset’s enameled mini herb planters come in six colors.
Weber
There’s a lot to love about Weber’s powerful and souped-up Summit grill, but the coolest feature just might be the infrared burner that descends from above to give a perfect char to salmon, steak, burgers and onions.
Beast
The Beast mini is perfect for quick smoothies, won’t crowd the counter and looks rather striking. Snatch one up in one of five colors for under $100.
Vitamix
If you suspect Mom would like to compost but doesn’t have the stomach for it, a countertop composter is about as good a gift as you’ll find. We’re all in on these organic waste managers that break down old produce rinds, avocado pits and even chicken bones into crude soil substance that can be mixed into garden soil for planting or discarded safely outdoors.

Brass Monkey Goods
This cheeky mug is perfect for the Mom who’s had enough of everyone’s nonsense.
Dreamfarm
If Mom fancies a margarita, fresh lemonade or uses citrus juice for any number of other culinary purposes, this handheld juicer will make getting the good stuff out a much easier task. The Fluicer (that’s short for “flat juicer”) not only squeezes the half lemon or lime but also bends it for a much more complete squeeze.
The Fluicer comes in three sizes, with one large enough for oranges. All three will juice circles around those other handheld contraptions, and this just might be my favorite kitchen gadget of the year.
Bascuda
There’s no such thing as too many small bowls for someone who cooks or entertains; perfect for condiments, sauces, nuts and spices. These six ceramic bowls come in a range of designs and arrive in giftable packaging, ready to be wrapped and bestowed upon Mom.
Uncommon Goods
This gorgeous maple serving board with resin shoreline detail looks good enough to swim in and certainly good enough to snack off.
Coravin
If Mom likes wine but doesn’t always get through the bottle in one sitting, this brilliant preservation system will keep an open bottle fresh for up to a month. The Pivot works by pumping argon gas back into the bottle as you pour to keep harmful oxygen out and keep the wine inside as fresh as when you popped the cork.
Via Carota
If Mom prefers to have her cocktails made for her, these exceptional premixed classics courtesy of New York’s beloved Via Carota are just the thing. Choose from classics like the Negroni and white Negroni, the Manhattan and the espresso martini.
My pick is for the Negroni set, which includes both Negroni cocktails — 375 milliliters each — two Italian-made lowball glasses and a Via Carota brass stirrer. I’m honestly not sure what I like more, the divine cocktails (yes, I’ve tried them all) or the chic bottles they arrive in. It’s the fastest way to bring that Italian coast vacation fantasy to wherever Mom happens to be.
Penguin Random House
Missy Robbins is the brains behind Lilia, one of New York’s toughest-to-get tables and home to some of the best bowls of pasta outside of Italy. In her second cookbook offering, Robbins outlines easy homemade pasta recipes and equally approachable sauces like a spicy Fra Diavolo you can whip up in about 20 minutes.

CurdBox
Membership to the Curdbox club nets Mom a monthly package of three different cheeses and three specially curated goodies to pair with them. The cheeses it chooses are in the crowd-pleasing zone and not overly intense, so this makes an excellent gift for even a novice cheese taster.
My first Curdbox delivery included 4 ounces each of an incredible Prairie Breeze cheddar, a creamy cow’s milk Toma by Point Reyes and a slightly crumbly cow and goat milk cheese from Central Coast Creamery. Plus, a jar of cherry spread, positively addictive sweet potato chips and a bag of crunchy craft popcorn.
Durant
Olive is great for cooking but it makes an excellent and easy accompaniment to bread before a meal or for cocktail hour. Durant’s full-bodied olive oils are made in small batches from the family’s farm in Oregon. I’m partial to this trio infused with jalapeño, garlic and orange essence to add some subtle flavor to your next party spread.
Great Jones
Casserole is definitely a throwback recipe so it should be made in similarly retro bakeware. This 9-by-13-inch ceramic hot dish from Great Jones is available in groovy green and yellow and will really pop on the table.
Aarke
Hauling heavy (and pricey) cans of seltzer home from the store can be a thing of the past with an eco-friendly water carbonator. SodaStream is a good option, but the Swedish Aarke carbonator is big on style and more giftable if you ask me. It’s available in five great finishes to match her kitchen motif.

Food52
Speaking of retro charm, this striking 2-quart saucepan looks so good it hurts. The unique and sturdy pan is made from carbon steel with an easy-clean enameled coating. The funky lid doubles as a trivet so Mom can bring it straight to the table to serve — and you know she’ll want to.
World Market
If your mom lords over the grill with regularity, delight her with some quality grilling utensils. This nine-piece set comes with a compact wooden cutting board and canvas carrying case. Most of these knives can do double duty in the kitchen when grilling season is on pause.
CB2
These classic coupes can be used for cocktails or bubbly wine. If Mom enjoys a sparkling rose, sidecar or martini, give her something really special to sip out of.
Bella Sera
For a mom who cooks, having fresh herbs on hand will be a real boon. There are some really nice-looking smart gardens out there, but this stylish model is one of my favorites. The overhead LEDs will provide enough light for growing mint, basil and parsley all year.
Tyler Lizenby/CNET
If your mom swoons to the tune of “sous vide” as some moms do to “diamond earrings,” then she’ll be jazzed to unwrap this sparkling little number where she can learn to do it at home. About the size of a bottle of wine, this sous vide circulator will offer her the possibility of restaurant quality, expertly executed meals with a high geek factor.
