As a site dedicated to finding the best products out there in a host of different categories, we like to think of ourselves as pretty great gift-givers, especially since we're on the pulse of new product launches and testing products out ourselves. This Mother's Day, we asked our editors to share what they're gifting their mom this year.
In Mother's Days past, I've gotten my mom the standard bouquet of fresh flowers, wreaths, and pretty scented candles, but this year I wanted to spice it up a bit. When a gourmet cooking essentials and spice purveyor called The Spice House reached out to me back in December, I was super excited to try out the brand.
Over the winter months, I sampled their supremely fragrant Turkish Bay Leaves, along with a selection of gourmet peppercorns (my favorite was the fruity and mellow Tellicherry Peppercorns) and a gorgeous pepper mill which still gets daily use in my kitchen. After using these spices and spice tools on the regular for months, it was a natural choice for me to purchase the brand's Sea Salt Deluxe Variety Set for my mom this Mother's Day.
One of the most fundamental elements of any recipe is salt — high-quality, coarse, perfectly flaky sea salt, preferably. Since salt is a mineral that can draw out and intensify the natural flavors in virtually any food, from pasta to salmon to steak, it's an important cornerstone of any cook's kitchen. Good salt should be a priority.
For a very reasonable $50, this Sea Salt Deluxe Variety Set features six rare salts from all around the world. They include Portuguese Saltcream Sea Salt, Hawaiian Black Lava Sea Salt, Fine Himalayan Pink Salt, Hawaiian Smoked Sea Salt, Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt, and Coarse Mediterranean Sea Salt. Not only are these salts unique in flavor, but they're also visually stunning. They'll add a pop of color and a twist to any culinary creation.
As someone who uses coarse sea salt regularly in both sweet and savory recipes (yes, you should be adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to your ice cream), this gourmet seasoning set makes an incredibly practical, yet thoughtful gift for foodies.
If you're gifting a mom who loves to cook, who taught you how to cook, or who might be looking for some inspiration in the kitchen, I recommend that you check out The Spice House for some culinary gems — specifically, these sea salts.
Like their motto says, "season everything with love." Happy Mother's Day!
