The 8 Best Brunch Baskets to Send Mom for Mother's Day
Beam in a delicious brunch basket or an assortment of eats for Mom this year.
Our Picks
Mother's Day is still a few weeks away, but it's never too early to start planning a special Mother's Day surprise for your mom. Taking Mom out for Mother's Day brunch is a time-honored tradition, but it requires reservations, rounding up the troops and maybe even airfare, depending on where all the kids are sprinkled about. If you can't make it to an actual Mother's Day brunch this year, bring the Mother's Day brunch to Mama with a delicious basket teeming with toothsome treats such as a quiche, muffins, croissants or French caviar.
And should you want to gild the lily, go ahead and send Mom a fresh bouquet from one of our favorite online flower delivery services. Whatever you decide to do or send, be sure to FaceTime her on the big day or give her a good old-fashioned phone call, and her heart will feel as full as her stomach while enjoying one of these elegant brunch-inspired gift baskets.

It goes without saying that you'll want your Mother's Day brunch basket to arrive before Mother's Day -- May 12 -- so be sure to check with each individual seller on shipping and delivery times before placing an order.
Forget the pancakes: If you really want to ensure a merry Mother's Day morning, send her this gourmet Bloody Mary kit. It features two small-batch mixes, Bloody Mary salt, bitters and a jar of pickled beans for garnish. Vodka not included.
For a caviar queen
Tour de France gift crate
If Mom prefers her morning eggs from the sea, this fabulous French assortment will make Mother's Day morning a particularly special affair. Fruitwood-smoked salmon, triple-cream Brie, pork paté, blinis and a heaping jar of French caviar round out this lavish box of bites.
For the carb connoisseur
Mix and match super-thick English muffins gift box
Another carb-tastic option, this is for the mom who's obsessed with English muffins. These extra-thick and fluffy specimens come in a range of flavors from sweet (like cherry blossom, wild Maine blueberry and even chocolate) to savory (including cornmeal, cheddar cheese and classic sourdough). This gift box option lets you choose six flavors for your mom, and she'll get four of each one in the set -- plus tongs for fishing them out of the toaster.
For an indoor picnic brunch
Spring Morning brunch gift basket
Now is the perfect time for an indoor picnic, and this spread is well suited to a grazeable brunch (or blunch, for later risers). It includes a triple cheese and caramelized onion quiche, sliced Canadian bacon, Wolferman's 1910 super-thick English muffins, a lemon poppyseed cake and marionberry preserves. You can -- and should -- add a hat box and wine to the basket for just $20.
For the French pastry fiend
Gaston's Bakery plain and chocolate croissants
If all your mom cares about at brunch are the flaky pastries, give her what she wants -- this mixed assortment of plain and chocolate-filled French croissants will transport her straight to Paris with each buttery, crisp bite. (Though if you'd like to treat her to even more of the pastry case, the Le Marais Pastry Board from Williams Sonoma is another worthy option.) The croissants arrive frozen, so she can defrost only as many as she wants to eat at one time, which may well be all of them.
For booze-loving bakers
Maine brunch basket
For your Maine mom, or anyone who likes a good boozy brunch, this basket includes three sparkling jams (mimosa, bellini and raspberry peach champagne, all made with actual wine); raspberry syrup (equally good on pancakes or in Prosecco); and spicy peppadew Sriracha Bloody Mary mix -- plus baking mixes for farmhouse-style pancakes, waffles and blueberry scones. If mom would prefer the baked goods sans booze, she might like this Blueberry Pancake Puff Kit with an æbleskiver pan, or this Berry Batter Bowl Gift with edible goodies inside an adorable bowl she can use for future baking endeavors.
For Southern biscuit belles
Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen combo pack
Southern belles and biscuit lovers will swoon for this collection of bestselling treats from Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in North Carolina, known for serving up blissful breakfasts for over 40 years (and still family owned today). The savory spectrum is covered in the form of four chicken biscuits -- the bird is dipped in buttermilk and a spiced flour mix before being fried -- and four country ham biscuits, while four glazed cinnamon rolls add the sweet finishing touch.
For the east coast experience
Russ & Daughters New York brunch box [Coming Soon]
If your mom is all about the east coast, an iconic New York brunch in a box is clearly a perfect option. This curated collection from legendary appetizing institution Russ & Daughters comes with some of the city's best hand-rolled bagels, plus plenty of cream cheese and fabulous Nova lox to pile on top. Rounding it out: a chocolate babka, some Private Blend coffee and a Russ & Daughters ceramic tumbler to keep it warm. This brunch basket is not yet available to order for Mother's Day gifting, but the merchant reports that it is coming soon. You can join the waitlist to be notified when this delicious brunch basket comes back in stock.
