Mother's Day Gift Guide 2025: Delicious Ways To Treat Her To A Long-Distance Meal
On Mother's Day, it's important to show mother figures in our lives they are cherished. This may include gifts or flowers and a special dinner date.
Festive place setting for Mother's day
But if they live far away and restaurant reservations are not part of the equation this year, there's some delicious ways to treat her to a fabulous long-distance meal that is delivered right to her front door. No reservations required!
Zabar's Brunch for Mom Gift Crate
Anyone who has ever visited New York City familiar with Zabar's, and for any mom who is from the city or is wistful about a visit, the Brunch for Mom Gift Crate ($209), is the next best thing. This selection of treats Zabar's is known for, like their babka in an updated raspberry flavor, fancy chocolates, New York-style bagels, as well as, of course, Smoked Nova Lox, homemade whitefish salad, and cream cheese. Everything necessary for a perfect Mother's Day brunch, no effort required. For anyone who wants to get a bit fancier, there's also an option to upgrade the kit to include caviar.
Giadzy Cacio e Pepe Pasta Box
This is one of the most classic of Roman dishes, but short of taking her on a weekend trip to Italy, it may be hard to do it justice at home. But this all-in-one kit (starts at $51) includes everything needed to make just as it's meant to be enjoyed: Organic Bucatini, super high-quality Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano, 4 Pepper-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Giada's personal recipe for pulling it altogether.
Peter Luger Dry-Aged Strip Steaks
One of the most famous steakhouses in the country, this would be an incredible date night on any occasion – but if she does not live near one, shipping her some of their legendary steaks is the next best thing. In fact, it may be better because she can enjoy them in the comfort of her own home. This package of four dry-aged strip steaks ($362) also comes with steak sauce, optional added extra thick bacon, and detailed prep instructions so she can make a perfect steak dinner just as she enjoys it when the desire hits (which would probably be always.)
FultonFishMarket.com Classic Surf & Turf Bundle
Surf & Turf is as elegant as a dinner can get, and this gift set ($281) includes prime filet mignon and sustainably hand-harvested cold water lobster tails from Maine. It'll be a beautiful high-end meal – that she can enjoy in her pajamas!
Citarella Oyster Flight
Freshly shucked oysters with a chilled martini are one of life's greatest pleasures, but the experience is not always easy to come by. This oyster flight ($99)includes Wellfleet, Kumamoto, Lucky Lime, and Fisher's Island oysters that are all freshly shucked (they did the hard part for you!) and paired with lemons, mignonette and cocktail sauce.
Goode Company Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket
There's nothing like Texas BBQ, and when the craving hits, only that will do. Houston-based Goode Company has a Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket ($215) in its online shop, and it's freshly made in their BBQ pits before being shipped to her door. Whether she hails from Texas or just loves a beautiful cut of meat, this can be the makings of a beautiful Mother's Day meal to give this year.
Wild Alaskan Company Alaskan Snow Crab Seafood Boil Kit
The Wild Alaskan Company Alaskan Snow Crab Seafood Boil Kit ($189 for Wild Alaskan members and $239 for non-members) is for the mom who takes her seafood very seriously and includes snow crab legs and claws, sidestriped shrimp or spot prawns (depending on location) and Pacific halibut quick cuts.
Pat LaFrieda Dry-Aged Burgers Gift Set
These burgers are from a world-famous butcher and are no joke – they are the same ones used at many household-name restaurants, and if she loves a great burger, these can be delivered right to her house and be waiting in her freezer next time the craving hits. The set of two prime aged beef patties starts at $16.58 and is a blend of chuck, brisket, short-rib, and 30-50 day dry-aged prime rib. From there, all she has to do is create her perfect build.
Grandma's Chicken Soup Care Package
This company is one that's going to pull on the heart strings of many a family, especially one that harkens back to the classic moments having homemade meals in Grandma's kitchen. This is a small, family-run business based in Massachusetts, and offers a variety of heat-and-eat meals that would work for an at-home Mother's Day dinner. Build a package (price will vary depending on what you add) that may include chicken soup (with or without matzo balls), challah, knishes, and other comfort foods and it'll be like a trip back in time to Friday night dinner at Grandma's – without having to take a trip to the kitchen!
Zucker's Mother's Day Bagel Brunch for 6
Zucker's is another New York City spot known for having some of the best bagels and appetizing around, and their bagel brunch gift set ($110) serves as a greatest hits box sent right to your mom's door, including a variety of bagels, schmears, Nova lox, and so much more.
Omaha Steaks Mother's Day Surf & Turf
Another great spin on the Surf & Turf concept, this one ($150) includes Butcher's Cut Filet Mignons and Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp along with a bunch of fun sides like stuffed baked potatoes and dessert options for a complete dinner with a whole lot going on – all in the comfort of home.
Caroline's Brisket Taco Party
A really fun option for when Mother's Day brunch meets Taco Tuesday, this kit ($70) has everything needed for a brisket taco gathering. This includes savory chopped beef brisket, cole slaw, rice, queso fresco, tortillas, sauces, and even dessert.

NYT ‘Strands' Hints, Spangram And Answers For Saturday, June 21
Strands Time for some weekend Strands, which I've heard is harder than the weekday ones, but I'm not sure I can actually prove that. How To Play Strands The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes.

‘Dead Outlaw' Musical to Close After Disappointing Run on Broadway
'Dead Outlaw,' a hard-driving musical about a bandit whose mummified body became a curiosity, announced Friday evening that it would close June 29 after a disappointingly brief run on Broadway. The show announced the closing just 12 days after the Tony Awards. It was nominated for seven prizes, including best musical, but won none. It is the third new musical to post a closing notice since the awards ceremony, following 'Smash' and 'Real Women Have Curves.' The show began previews April 12 and opened April 27 at the Longacre Theater in Manhattan. The show's running costs are modest, but so are its box office revenues; it grossed $449,666 during the week that ended June 15. At the time of its closing, it will have played 14 preview and 73 regular performances. The musical is based on the true story of Elmer McCurdy, a turn-of-the-century figure who robbed trains and banks — often ineptly — and died in a shootout with law enforcement. His unclaimed body was preserved and then exhibited for years before being stashed in a California amusement park, where it was rediscovered in the 1970s. The show was first staged Off Broadway at the Minetta Lane Theater, which is operated by Audible; it is the first Audible show to transfer to Broadway. The reviews were quite strong, both downtown and uptown; in The New York Times, the critic Jesse Green called it 'the feel-good musical of the season, if death and deadpan feel good to you.' The musical was capitalized for up to $10 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That money — the amount it cost to finance the show's development — has not been recouped. 'Dead Outlaw' features a score by David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna and a book by Itamar Moses; it is directed by David Cromer. The lead producers are Lia Vollack and Sonia Friedman. In a statement they said, 'Despite glowing reviews and a loyal following, the commercial momentum just wasn't fast enough in a crowded season. As the show reminds us, sometimes the most incredible lives are cut short.'

Amy Poehler Says ‘SNL' Actors ‘All Played People We Should Not Have… I Misappropriated, I Appropriated': Everything in Comedy Has an ‘Expiration Date'
Amy Poehler recently took accountability for her problematic 'Saturday Night Live' characters while talking to former cast member Will Forte on her 'Good Hang' podcast. Poehler said that every comedian who has appeared on 'SNL' over the years has 'played people that we should not have played' and 'the part about getting older and being in comedy is you have to, like, figure out, 'Oh, it's like everything has an expiration date.'' 'There was even on ['SNL50'], when they had that segment which was like, 'Here's all the ways we got things wrong,' and they showed way inappropriate casting for people,' Poehler added. 'We all played people that we should not have played. I misappropriated, I appropriated…I didn't know.' More from Variety 'SNL's' Mikey Day Has Knack for Getting Crazy Characters to Go Viral, But Says 'I'm Not Really Sure Where This Stuff Comes From' 'SNL 50' Becomes Most-Watched Season in Three Years, Hitting 8.1 Million Average Viewers After One Week Andrea Mitchell on Rebuilding Faith in the News Media: 'Trust Is the Coin of the Realm, and We Have to Be the Gold Standard' Poehler was referring to the 'SNL50' sketch in which Tom Hanks introduced an In Memoriam segment calling out the many problematic jokes and sketches 'SNL' has aired. The montage of poorly-aged bits includes jokes about sexual harassment and such infamous moments as Adrien Brody sporting dreadlocks and a Jamaican accent. 'Even though these characters, accents and … let's just call them 'ethnic' wigs were unquestionably in poor taste, you all laughed at them,' Tom Hanks said in a winking moment at the audience. 'So if anyone should be canceled, shouldn't it be you, the audience? Something to think about.' Speaking to Forte on her podcast, Poehler added: 'The best thing you can do is make repairs, learn from your mistakes, do better. It's all you can do.'
