The fur friendly selection provides a curated set of pet friendly plants that your mom can cutivate and cherish alongside her pets.

ESPRO P5 French Press

Give your mom the gift of freshly brewed, delicious coffee with the Espro 5 French Press. If your mom enjoys the cafe experience, your gift will allow her to bring that experience home so that she can savor barista quality beverages while still adhering to social distancing requirements. This exceptionally stylish product features a polished copper finish and a minimal glass design that allows you to watch your special brew as it’s being created. The patented double microfilter of the Espro P5 keeps the machine sludge- and grit-free while the filter completely stops extraction to prevent any bitterness. 

What’s more, the Espro P5 has been built tough so that it can withstand any wear and tear. It features forty percent thicker German engineered glass for enhanced durability and heat retention along with a patented safety lock system.

Grandmother’s Journal

When it comes to Mother’s Day gift ideas for Grandma, it’s all about personalization and memories. That being the case, it’s hard to go past the Grandmother’s Journal: Memories & Keepsakes from Simon and Schuster. This delightful keepsake memory book is designed to allow Grandma to capture and preserve her unique memories and insights—from the days of her own childhood to the special moments she has with her grandchildren. 

This beautifully designed journal includes a Family Tree page and features an attached envelope on the inside back cover to store photos and memorabilia. The book is ninety-six pages in length and measures 9 x 0.6 x 11 inches.

Wrap Up

Covid-19 restrictions may mean that you won’t be in the same home as your mom this Mother’s Day, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t share your love for her in a tangible way. The gift ideas presented here are all great ways to share your love to your mom while social distancing. Be sure to spend plenty of face-to-face time with your mom through Zoom or other communication technology, and assure her daily that, though she may not physically be in your presence, she is always in your heart and mind.
