Mother’s Day is a time to appreciate the mothers in our lives. They’re there for us through everything — guiding us through life’s many struggles and celebrations, taking care of us when we’re sick, instilling in us common sense while showing us how to live kindly and compassionately.
There are so many ways to show love for those who have shown us love. We write letters, draw cards, gather wildflowers for bouquets, cook delicious dinners and play cards… this list could go on and on.
We at Shrub Farm HQ are fans of everything on that list. But of course, we love to spread our love with shrub, so we’ve put together a list of everything you need to show the mamas in your life how special they are (and how much they deserve a special drink or a creative culinary treat).
Shrub strikes the perfect balance between healthy and indulgent. We use our raw apple cider vinegar for the base, so it’s full of probiotics and prebiotics and supports digestive health. Our apples are grown in Eastern Washington and are juicy, golden, and seriously delicious. When we infuse it with whole fruits, herbs, and spices, it becomes an invigorating mixer for cocktails and mocktails alike. Read on for our best gift ideas using local products (and all for under $30!).
