The phrase “working mother” is redundant. ~Jane Sellmanth
I love my Mom, especially now that I am a mother myself. I don’t know where she found the energy to play with us everyday and take care of everything she did, but she did, and with three of us!
When I was little, gifts for Mother’s Day were hand made trinkets. I love that the same kind of hand made touch goes into gift baskets. This is a wonderful season for gift baskets. The colors are bright and vibrate with a palette of pinks, greens, violets and yellows. When I think about gifts for Mother’s Day Too Good Gourmet always comes to mind. The packaging is beautiful with a touch of flowers and adornments as seen in the hat box cookie tower.
From garden themes to spa moments, a Mother’s Day Gift should say I Love You and Thank You and should have a little chocolate thrown in for good measure!

MY FAVORITES – PRODUCT PICK OF THE WEEK!
One of the great perks of owning a gift basket company is meeting and trying all the gourmet foods. My recent discovery (via Eric at Willa’s) is Willa’s Shortbread. They are “Traditionally Southern”.
Willa Allen started baking her traditional shortbread cookies for special events from her home in the Highlands of North Carolina. Before long her legendary shortbread cookies and cheese biscuits were being shipped via mail order across the country. Soon gourmet stores, bed and breakfasts and gift basket shops began carrying Willa’s products.
Now in business for over 30 years and owned and operated by the Rion Family, Willa’s was relocated to middle Tennessee where the southern tradition continues. Willa’s offers a variety of southern flavors and designs perfect for a Tennessee themed basket, Corporate Gifts, Thank You Gifts, and Wedding Treats.
Flavors: Gingersnaps, Lemon Pecan Bites, Spicy Cheese Bites, Shortbre
ad Bites, Praline Bites, Chocolate Macadamia Bites, Mocha Almond Bites and my favorite Key Lime Almond Bites.
Ask us about using Willa’s treats in your next basket order OR as a stand alone gift tin silk screen imprinted with your company’s logo, corporate colors and special message.

The Lisa Ross Parker Foundation is a charitable foundation founded in 2004 by Janet Ross, and operated by Janet and a small group of committed citizens, dedicated to the memory and charitable legacy of Lisa Ross Parker, whose life was taken at age 33 by leukemia.
Although Lisa is no longer with us, her legacy of giving continues through the Lisa Ross Parker Foundation. The organization was founded in 2004 with a mission that encompasses two things most dear to Lisa:
1) Providing support for families touched by cancer, and
2) Assisting animal welfare organizations
The Lisa Ross Parker Foundation strives to charitably honor the legacy of Lisa Ross Parker by continuing to pursue her charitable passions, including (but not limited to) assisting and caring for patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood-related cancers, and their families.
In addition, we continue Lisa’s legacy by assisting with charitable animal welfare and supporting other animal advocacy organizations that follow the same principles. We are a tax-exempt public operating charity under Internal Revenue
