Fresh Mother’s Day Gift Ideas at Whole Foods

Disclosure: This post is a sponsored conversation for Whole Foods.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mother’s Day is just a few days away.  And if you’re like me it’s always a struggle to find something that captures the sentiment of the day.  My mom’s birthday is just a couple weeks prior so I have to put my creative cap on to think of something special that she’ll love.  Being a mother myself; my favorite gifts are those that come from the heart and force me to take some time to myself.  Whole Foods knows you can never go wrong with flowers, wine, and a little pampering.  In honor of moms everywhere they have a few promos happening this week.   Throw in some chocolate, they have that too, and you have the recipe for a perfect relaxing evening.

Flowers
Twice the goodness! Buy mom a beautiful bouquet and do some social good.  Whole Trade® flower purchases support farm workers and help build schools and clinics.

Whole Foods has a beautiful selection of fresh flowers, plus the in-store floral specialists can whip you up a custom arrangement too.  Right now Whole Trade roses are $20/dozen.  You can also grab a coupon for $5 off  when you download the Whole Foods Market app (valid 5/4-8).

Wine
Celebrate Mother’s Day with a selection of carefully curated rosé wines for less than $20.  How perfect is that, roses and rosé!Here are a few of the popular picks at my local Whole Foods:

• Domaine Turenne Provence Camille ($14.99, 750 Ml.) – From the heart of Provence, Camille is organically grown, hand picked and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Salmon in color displaying aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, red currants with a solid backbone and a vein of minerality.
• Summer Water Santa Barbara County Rosé ($17.99, 750 Ml.) – Summer in a bottle? Indeed. The light floral and strawberry bouquet makes for a wonderful transition into its flavor profile: strawberries with hints of pears and peaches, and a striking minerality. The label is quite pretty too!
• Domaine de la Solitude Rose Cotes du Rhone ($16.99, 750 Ml.) – This rosé has a bright pastel pink color with an intense nose of tart red berries and exotic white fruits with citrus highlights. It will be perfect for any of your parties this summer.

Did you know they make canned wine?  I am not a beer drinker, we’ll save those selections for Father’s Day, so I’m super excited to know that I can get in on this fun trend for 2016.  Family make note 😉 Convenient and lightweight this is the perfect option for a Mother’s Day picnic.

• Presto Sparkling Cuvée (4pk/$12.99) – Whole Foods Market introduces the popular Presto prosecco. This sparkling cuvée offers crisp green apple and tropical notes, lively effervescence and a touch of richness on the finish. Learn more here.

Whole Body
Shuttle mom off for the evening for a little me time.  Help mom relax with a DIY bath bomb gift; Whole Foods offers a great selection for relaxation, aromatherapy, or  mental clarity.  Throw in some Fair-trade Alaffia GoodSoap bars (3/$6) for relaxation all week long.  Then round out her DIY body care gift basket with 25% off cosmetics and nail color (5/6-5/8).
