LAst MInute Mom's Day Gifts

what do you get a  mom  home chef  or baker with only two days to Mother's Day? Surprisingly there are a lot of interesting and fun items that can be picked up in these last minutes. There's a wide range to select from cooking to baking, snacking to drinking.

Gadgets are always a fun gift. if mom is a whiz in the kitchen , then think of getting her the eight in one kitchen tool. This a a truly neat gift.It looks like a wine bottle but is a measuring cup and with it comes an egg separator, can opener,,funnel, spice and cheese graters and an egg masher. Does Mom love whipping up souffles or airy frostings? Get a whisk cleaner. This is a plastic circle with slits in it. Just push the whisk through it and the gunk comes off.Makes for a much cleaner whisk and less labor intensive than bending a sponge into all those small spaces. if your mother is a gambler and loves take out then get her take out dice. These are dice with images of pizza, ,hamburger and barbecue on them. Ii's a fun way of saying what shall we eat for lunch or dinner. Cat moms will go crazy over Purr Over Coffee brewer. Thus is a super cute coffee maker in the shape of a kitty.it is a two piece coffee maker that;s perfect at home or in the office. A chopper set is not only practical but it can be fun. It has three different sized blades for coarse and fine chopping. it also comes with a pull out draw to store the chopped veggies and fruits.

What about food or drink as last minute  present? Bakeries are the best place to go for a box of goodies.Mini croissants are always perfect. They can be turned into sandwiches or perfect for breakfast with a good jam or marmalade . A  box of chocolate dipped cookies is a great way to end a Mother's Day meal.  A mini cake is another nice just for you gift. She can have it all to herself and  enjoy a rich gooey treat.Candy is also a fun gift. Yes, you can go old school with a Whitman's Sampler which has everything under the sun. There are chocolate covered cashews and caramels along with nougats and coconut. If there's a good confectioner in your area, then visit them. They will have an amazing array of hand dipped caramels and truffles, perfect for the mom with gourmet tastes. Of course a bottle of wine or champagne will never be refused. A good Zinfandel or Shiraz will not go amiss. A bottle of Prosecco or Asti Spumante is perfect, especially for making mimosa at her brunch.
