Mother’s Day Gifts for the Far-Away Foodie

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northwestern chapter.

Some of you guys are already home and done with school. Congratulations! Oh also, I hate you. For the rest of us who have a week (or five) left of school, it’s about time we stop considering a phone call home on Mother’s Day a sufficient gift. Since she’s tired of getting flowers, what’s better than getting fresh food — anything from full meals to chocolates to customized cakes — delivered straight to her door?

Here are 10 companies that offer online ordering. All you have to do is decide what you want to get your mom and order it! The rest is taken care of by them. How great is that?

1. Magnolia Bakery

Cupcakes, cookies, brownies and bars — or order an assortment and get it all.

2. 1-800-Bakery.com

Personalized cakes, petit fours, brownies and more.

3. Mrs. Fields

This one goes without saying. Freshly baked cookies in super cute tins and boxes, or as a cookie cake. It even has Mother’s Day-specific packages.
