Mother's Day Gift Guide:

Thoughtful Gifts Inspired by Legendary Pappy Van Winkle Hospitality, Style and Flavor 

We certainly consider the handmade necklaces we’ve received on Mother’s Day as some of our most treasured possessions. Strings adorned with painted pasta, or backwards beads spelling out a message of love, along with painted picture frames or cards bearing the imprint of a tiny hand, captured forever in time. These anecdotes of Mother’s Day with growing children are keepsakes - snapshots of fleeting childhood - and are beloved gifts we keep on our nightstand, or tucked away safely in a drawer.  

 Yet, that doesn’t mean that come Mother’s Day, that eponymous holiday where mothers are meant to be recognized, appreciated, and celebrated for all of their efforts (somehow achievable in a mere 24 hours!), that she wouldn’t enjoy a thoughtful gift selected just for her. 

 While, quite frankly, mothers deserve more than just a day of recognition, one in which the old joke goes - that those who pitch in to cover her duties so that she can sleep in will often comment that they’ve had to become “parent, doctor, chef, chauffeur, teacher, therapist, camp counselor, traffic controller, coach, housekeeper, launderer, (and since there is no word yet to describe the effort of finding the unfindable sock/jersey/shoe/uniform/belt/stuffed animal) etc… Essentially, as the chief of staff of a small, but mighty (and loud), operation all wrapped up in a package that can also make pain disappear with the magic of a kiss.  

 So let’s honor the true magic of mothers with a gift guide selected to celebrate her, and let her know how appreciated she is!

Pappy & Company Mother's Day Gift Guide 

Peace and Quiet: Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve Coffee Mug & Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee 

If you ask most moms, they would say we just want to enjoy a slow morning where we can enjoy a cup of coffee in peace (you know, without reheating it countless times, spilling it in the carpool line, or rushing it before our first meeting of the day). Have you ever noticed that on vacation, she will sit down with a cup of coffee and maybe even close her eyes. If someone dares to ask a question (and they will) that usually begins with the phrase: “MOM! Where is my [fill in the blank here with any manner of things that, yes, can usually be found if the seeker simply looks around]?” She will say “Can I just enjoy my coffee in peace?” 

So, yes, that is what she wants. Gift her this invitation to slow down and enjoy a beloved ritual. Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-Aged slow-roasted coffee beans wafting with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and sweet charred oak, mingling with the unmistakably rich aroma of coffee, freshly brewed and sipped out of a mug crafted for this very moment.
