Mother’s Day is this weekend! While she probably wouldn’t want you to make such a fuss, we think she deserves to be fussed over. And there’s no better time than this week to collect a few thoughtful gestures. Whether you’re gathering virtually or you’re fortunate enough to visit in person, you still have time to make a plan! Here are a few hints from Sip and Ship to lift up mom!

  • Jot a hand-written card - a sweet way to share with your mom in your own words how special she is to you and maybe what you’ve learned from her over the years.

  • Who doesn’t love something that smells fresh? Candles or a bouquet of flowers are a great way to brighten up your mom’s day.

  • Try a fun Zoom background for your virtual gathering. You can find some great background ideas here , or bring back memories with one of your favorite family photos!
  • And finally, you can’t go wrong with a box of Frans chocolates !

Team Sip and Ship is excited to help you celebrate mom this Sunday!

P.S. Mailbox Membership Mondays in May offers 20% off all cold-pressed juices and wellness shots.
