No gift can equal a mother’s love, but there are several thoughtful and practical gifts that come close! I’ve curated a list of 10 delicious Asian grocery items that are perfect for every type of moms-slash-foodie!
Not only can you show your dear appreciation for their love, but you can also save them a trip to the grocery store too! Whether you get one or get all, it’s the simple gestures that create a lasting impact.
Let your dear moms have something to look forward to every morning. Maxim uses coffee beans that are roasted, blended, and freeze-dried so you can taste its natural flavors and smell its smooth aroma. Better beans, better-tasting coffee, happier mommas!
Every hardworking mom needs to slow down and take a break. The sight of them resting is a gift in itself. Make their daily R&R extra special with a Prince of Peace Relax Tea. This caffeine-free dietary supplement is made from polygala root and Poria plant that promotes relaxation and helps ease stress and anxiety. The calming aroma of the chamomile flowers makes all the difference in one’s mood!
Nothing says I love you than allowing your moms to indulge in sweets while watching out for their health. After all, they’re not getting any younger! Prince of Peace’s line of ginger chews is 100% natural, gluten-free, and vegan, making it a healthy gift option for any sweet tooth. With ginger as its hero ingredient, each chew has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that comfort the stomach, alleviate nausea, promote healthy blood circulation, and warm the senses. It’s also available in several flavors like Mango, Orange, Lemon, and more. If you’re not sure what to get mom, you’re always free to get them all!
They’ve always been cooking warm and nostalgic meals for us. Give back the love with the Hikari One-Minute Miso. Made with organic soybean paste, it has an umami taste that goes well with almost any dish. It’s super easy to make so your mum can sit back, relax, and feel your warm embrace through this delicious soup.
Making Thai curry from scratch isn’t a walk in the park. With numerous ingredients on the list, it may not be one’s top of mind when cooking dinner. Good thing Mae Ploy’s line of ready-to-use curry mixes has all the hallmark ingredients of Thai curry packed in a convenient tub. We’re talking about green chili, lemongrass, garlic, salt, galangal, Kaffir lime peel, coriander seed, pepper, cumin, and turmeric all in one pack! Now, your mom can simply reach out for this curry paste, add a dash of coconut milk, and enjoy a hearty curry dish in a matter of minutes!
We might not have loved our greens as kids but now that we’re older and wiser, I’m sure all of us would love to have a bite of mom’s mean salad! Momo Dressing’s Premium Yuzu Ponzu sauce is made from all-organic ingredients sourced from local farms. This multi-purpose sauce offers a refreshing tang to your salads and sushi. Once your mom has a taste of this healthy salad dressing, you may not be seeing mayo-based dressings anytime soon.
Who says only the guys can do barbecues? Let your mom be the star of every barbecue night with CJ’s line of Korean Barbeque Sauces. What makes these sauces different is that they infuse Korean pear and apple puree with soy sauce and other flavorful spices. The result is a harmonious blend of fruity and smoky flavors that is a hit in South Korea. This versatile sauce also works well as a basting or dipping sauce for chicken, stews, and even grilled seafood.
It may not seem like it, but our moms are just like us– they love a good snack! Hapi Snack’s Spicy Sriracha Peas are made from green peas that are generously coated with an addicting chili garlic seasoning. It’s a great snack for a special movie night with your beloved mum. It also adds a lovely spice and crunchy texture to salads. Just as its name implies, it’s sure to make anyone happy!
We can’t leave out gifts for our radiant vegan moms! Annie Chun’s line of roasted seaweed snacks is the first-ever USDA-Certified, organic, non-GMO project verified seaweed snack for American consumers. The nori sheets are light and airy, yet rich in umami flavors, making them a perfect grab-and-go snack. There are several flavors to choose from, namely spicy wasabi, salt and vinegar, sesame, and more. Your mom can enjoy these on their own or they can use it as toppings for rice, salads, and more.
This one’s for the hot mommas who can take the heat! Chung Jung One’s Spicy Cocktail Sauce combines the spiciness of hot pepper paste and the tangy flavor of vinegar for a well-rounded hot sauce. While most gochujang hot pepper pastes come in tubs, this sauce comes in an easy-to-use squeeze bottle, making it easier to spice up salads, pizza, hamburgers, ribs, wings, and more! Made in Sunchang, Korea where optimal conditions heighten the flavor of each ingredient, your mom is in for a spicy ride!
Food is always a hit for any occasion–as long as it’s good! Whether it’s a key ingredient to complete their pantry or a snack they won’t typically buy for themselves, gifting food for your mom is sure to fill her heart (and tummy!) with great love. I hope this simple list of Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day can help bring a smile to the most important woman in your life.
