8 . Most of us fall back on the classics when it comes time to buy Mother’s Day gifts: flowers, fancy tea or a card. But if you really want to show off this year, you might want to dig a little deeper. That’s why we created this helpful list of Mother’s Day gifts for every kind of mom.
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter $20 (now 15% off)
If she’s been hitting the trail without one, Mom will surely appreciate having a LifeStraw in her bag, especially on longer treks. The lightweight filters waterborne bacteria, parasites, dirt, and other impurities from any water source, making it a necessity for outdoor adventures.
Organic Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage $13
This herbal dandelion-root mixture, which counts barley (大麦) among its handful of natural ingredients, helped Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo cut coffee out of her diet completely. “The texture and taste are surprisingly similar to coffee, but without the acidity or bitterness that would often mess with my stomach,” she says.
Alessi Apostrophe Orange Peeler $40 (now 20% off)
“Every so often, a gadget enters your life and leaves you wondering how you managed beforehand,” says Strategist contributor Fanny Singer of this Italian orange peeler. “This teardrop-shaped gadget is designed to make it really easy to poke and then slice an orange to separate the peel from the fruit. It’s a pleasant surprise every time I use it.”
WuFuYuan Tapioca Pearls, Black Sugar Flavor $5
According to one Strategist staffer who has been drinking bubble tea since she was in elementary school, these tapioca pearls are the best for making bubble tea at home. “The pearls by themselves aren’t sweet, but you can soak them in a brown-sugar mixture or simple syrup to get the desired sweetness,” she explains. “Or, if you’re feeling lazy, just add sugar to your milk tea and your taste buds will be none the wiser.”
