This Sunday is Mother's Day, an actual holiday (at least as deemed by Hallmark, retailers, florists and restaurants) that reminds you to recognize the mom (or maternal figure) in your life.
And while cards, flowers, brunch, candles, and perfumes are nice, here are some of our suggestions.
Word to your mother.
Molecular Mixology Set - Mojito Mix
What do you get when you combine food, liquor, chemistry, and art? You get to deconstruct your favorite drink, to change the look and feel of ingredients, impress dinner guests, and to take your tastebuds on an adventure—also known as molecular gastronomy!
Try this fresh take on the classic mint-and-rum refresher to take drinks and entertaining to a whole new level. Deconstruct mint leaves into buoyant "caviar" bubbles or a flavor-filled cloud of foam. It's even possible to encapsulate every ingredient into a sphere that explodes with flavor, introducing your tastebuds to the essence of the cocktail. Give guests a taste of the unexpected with these three easy molecular recipes that bring cutting-edge mixology to your home bar. Includes instructional booklet.
Jump From Paper Bags
Jump From Paper bags were invented by two women in Taiwan who thought it would be awesome to bring 2D illustrated bags to life. These three bags feature bold outlines, bright and vibrant colors, and will definitely turn heads. In a way, they remind us of those movies when 2D animation was mixed in with live actors... like you hopped into Toontown from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, bought yourself a nice bag, and brought it back to the real world.
These bags are super slim in appearance but can accommodate an iPad/tablet, your current reading project, magazines, and your everyday accessories. If you need a little extra room, a zipper under the bag expands the depth. These bags are made from durable polyester fabric and each has a zipper pocket in the back for easy access to your ID, metro card, or spare change.
The Amazing Unicycle Show Tote Bag
From Stephanie Buscema! These totes are a natural colored cotton with dark chocolate brown handles. My circus design is silkscreened with two colors, a dark chocolate brown and a bright robin egg blue. A nice, light, well-made tote!
"Be Nice, Work Hard, Get Rad." Screenprinted Poster
From Hannah Nance Partlow! Words to live by! This super-cool inspirational poster would look rad in your office, studio, or workplace. Available in three color variations - please specify when ordering: Black with pale yellow shadow, black with yellow and red shadows, or "ketchup and mustard" (red with yellow shadow).
These posters are printed by hand, so slight variations may occur. That's what makes screenprints so much cooler than a crappy poster made on a machine, right? Handmade for life, man. ♥
