Fritaire Air Fryer
This isn’t a regular air fryer, it’s a cool air fryer. The Fritaire Air Fryer has a totally modern design that is so stylish, mom won’t mind it sitting on the counter. The clear bowl allows you to watch your food being cooked from every angle. Plus, you can cook so many things, from rotisserie chicken to the perfect restaurant style fries, and even use it as a dehydrator. And did I mention that the Fritaire even cleans itself? Add some soapy water and the Fritaire does the rest. How great is that?

The Dreo ChefMaker Combi-Fryer is a complete cooker that allows you to cook like a professional chef at home. It is similar to an air fryer, but so much more with the addition of the functions of a convection and microwave oven. With its temperature probe and water/moisture system, the ChefMaker Combi-Fryer monitors the temperature and moisture of your food, cooking it to perfection. Three cooking modes allow you to cook just about anything; steaks and meat become next level gourmet faire. Paired with Dreo’s app, this may become your new favorite cooking appliance.

Mostly Chocolate
Very seldom do we receive treats in the mail and are completely impressed by them. Mostly Chocolate, a family owned company located in Texas that makes gourmet chocolates and artisan truffles, is one of the handful of companies that I would highly recommend. Their award winning chocolates are not only beautiful, but they are some of the best I have ever eaten. The toffee is some of the best I’ve ever had, and the Cookis and Cream Hearts are a unique, not overly sweet take on the flavor combo. Mostly Chocolate’s filled chocolates, with their unique decoration and flavor combinations are where they shine. The only downside of giving them to Mom is she might not want to share.

Spice Tribe Spices
Spice Tribe Spices celebrate the art of ‘Mindful Cooking,’ slow and thoughtful preparation of a dish or meal. Developed by two chefs, their spice blends and assortments elevate the simplest of ingredients to new levels of flavor. Although they carry single source spices, their blends pack a lot of flavor and creativity into their custom mixes. Try their California Love All Purpose Chile Blend or the Porcini Paradiso Italian Blend for a new flavor experience. Their thoughtfully curated sets are a great gift idea, and are packaged beautifully and ready for gift giving.

Hexclad 6 Piece Fry Pan Set
I know what you’re thinking. Giving a set of cookware for a holiday is dangerous ground. However, my mom specifically wants new pans. This set from Hexclad is something that she would love. Three fry pans, in the most commonly used sizes, along with matching lids are sure to please any cook from beginner to pro. HexClad’s patented technology utilizes tri-ply construction, aluminum between two layers of stainless-steel, that’s then laser-etched with their trademark hexagonal nonstick surface. This allows Hexclad cookware to deliver the searing power of stainless, durability of cast-iron and easy cleanup of nonstick. It’s the best of all worlds.

Harmony Gin
There’s a saying something about having a drink will cure what ails you. Harmony Gin is taking that sentiment to a whole new level. Founded by Amy Holmood and Woody Harrelson, they based their company on sustainability and knowing what is in the beverage you’re consuming. It’s also absent of artificial flavors, colors, GMOs, or additives and is gluten-free too! Hints of pineapple, rose and smoke accent the juniper flavor. Harmony Gin is a premiere sipping gin to be savored and enjoyed.
Lodestar Whiskey
Whiskey tends to be viewed as a man’s drink of choice; Lodestar is here to change that perception. Although they are new on the scene – having only been in the whiskey business since 2023, these cousins developed their blended Lodestar Whiskey to be enjoyed by all. Great for drinking straight, on the rocks, or blended with your favorite mixer. Lodestar is a blend of straight high rye bourbon and single malt whiskey with notes of citrus making it smooth and right for any gathering.
