The Best Mother's Day Gift Idea of 2022!

It’s that time of the year when we get to honor the real superheroes/MVP’s of the world — our madres, aka: professional multi-tasking queens. In fact, since the early 1900s, we’ve showered moms with celebratory tokens of appreciation. To give you a little historical snapshot, Mother’s Day first commenced in the US with a woman named Anna Reeves Jarvis. After her own mother passed, Anna’s intrinsic female conviction kicked in and she set out on a bold mission to honor all moms as a collective. The movement started in West Virginia and slowly forged ahead throughout the US. Eventually, her pursuit caught the attention of President Woodrow Wilson and righteously declared it a national holiday in 1914. It was also established that Mother’s Day would be celebrated every second Sunday in May.

If you haven’t marked your calendar yet, Mother’s Day lands on May 8, 2022, which happens to be right around the corner. We get it — your brain might already be spinning, trying to remember if you bought her a bouquet of pink roses last year, or perhaps a chic spa-like robe from T.J. Maxx. Regardless, when we think of Mother’s Day, ideally we’d like to give our mama’s a little break from the minutia of everyday life. Let’s face it, with everything mom’s juggle, a little, or a LOT of TLC is most definitely in order!

However, you might be completely burnt out on the conventional gift ideas like a bundle of roses, overly sweet perfume, floral candles, and spa day certificates. In fact, she might be already anticipating these items. But there’s no need to panic or run to Homegoods in dismay. This year at CaliFino, we’ve dedicated time to curate a memorable gift set in partnership with Carillo Pottery — a local artisanal shop situated in Oceanside that offers an eclectic selection of pottery from around the world, as well as home decor. These are pieces you can’t find anywhere else. 

Mother’s Day Gift Set

So what exactly comes in the exclusive CaliFino Mother’s Day gift set? Your mama will secure a 750 ml bottle of our Blanco Tequila, made with 100% Ultra-Premium Blue Weber Agave, purely unaged, admired for its earthy, anise and cardamom flavor notes. The CaliFino Blanco also makes the ideal cocktail mixer for the classic Paloma, Mexican Mule, Tequila Sunrise or Spicy Marg. Nothing screams “self-care” more than a bottle of premium tequila, right? Alongside this, she’ll get a set of four, handcrafted, Talavera tile coasters from Carillo Pottery. These ornate tiles originate from the Guadalajara region of Mexico. But wait, it gets better! A custom set of two hand blown, traditional, artisan shot glasses that perfectly complement the Blanco tequila are included, accompanied with a Mother’s Day card. These hand designed Mother’s Day gift sets won’t last long, so don’t waste another second. Give your special lady a gift she won’t expect this year!

Valentine's Day Gift Set

Aside from adorning her with premium tequila and hand-picked art pieces she’ll treasure forever, we’ve assembled a shortlist of other ways you can celebrate Mother’s Day this year:

1. Make the day an outdoor adventure

   • We think the most memorable quality time involves the simplest things! Think about assembling a picnic for her at your local park, cruise to her favorite neighborhood gem on bikes, or go on a family hike! 

2. Breakfast (or brunch) in bed

   • Nothing impresses moms the most more than breakfast in bed. You don’t have to be a Michelin star chef to scramble eggs, fry up bacon, slice some fruit, and whip up a tropical Tequila Sunrise (with our Blanco tequila of course — hint, hint). If you’re still unsure of what to make, Feasting at Home created a whole list of recipe ideas to help you out! 

3. Play a board game or get crafty

   • If you’re not playing Scrabble or Monopoly with the family, put on your crafty hat and put together a memorable photo album or scrapbook she’ll cherish forever. This always turns out to be a fun activity that can involve the entire family! 

4. DIY Paint and Sip

   • No need to spend an exorbitant amount of money to engage in a Paint and Sip class! You can do it right in the comfort of your own home. Just head to your local craft store to pick up a small collection of brushes and paints. You’ll also need a canvas, palette, and an easel. Then find a few inspo pics she’ll love to use as your guide! When it comes to the “sip” component… well, you know we have you covered. ;) 

There’s a slew of ways you can make Mother’s Day memorable this year, and we hope that by gifting our limited edition CaliFino Mother’s Day gift set, she’ll feel on top of the world! Don’t forget to purchase yours before it sells out and get 20% HERE. 

Salud to the Fino Life!
