my favorite gift for moms

It’s not every day I use the word favorite. But when I find a gift that seems to be a hit with everyone, I have to share. Admittedly, I’ve shared Nora Fleming with you many times (here, here and here–along with My Favorite Things posts), but sometimes it’s worth revisiting a favorite!

If you haven’t seen Nora Fleming’s cool serveware and bakeware yet, you really need to check it out! Okay, I might be a little bit obsessed. I just love how these pieces are so classic and timeless but have the coolest added flair as well! And since one piece can change to fit any season or holiday, you don’t need to have cabinets full of seasonal dishes (but, if you’re like me, you might find yourself with a cabinet full of Nora Fleming!!)

Nora Fleming makes gorgeous solid white pieces that can be customized with adorable “minis”. I’m pretty sure I could explain all day, but since a picture is worth 1,000 words, a video is worth way more. And this one shows you how Nora Fleming pieces work. Yes, I use the same platter for Christmas, birthdays, super bowl parties, summer barbecues, New Year’s Eve, Halloween–you name it!

Something new this year that I am loving are the melamine options! I have lots of gorgeous ceramic from Nora Fleming but the break-resistant melamine makes it so much easier to take it along to parties and gatherings. I can just pop on a new “mini”, add some cookies and we’re good to go! And, you guys, the melamine looks just like the real thing! It’s still super sturdy and heavy so you’re not showing up with a cheap plastic plate.

Every single time I take a dish in a Nora Fleming piece I get compliments. Even the kids notice! The other day my kids had friends over and I was changing out a mini on my salt and pepper shaker and, you guys, the kids were all so into it! And these were tween boys! They all wanted to pick their favorites (Touchdown and Jingle Toes were their top choices).

The one thing I love about Nora Fleming is you can buy one piece and a mini and then add minis every year. It makes such a simple and useful gift to start at Christmas and then add a mini every Mother’s Day and birthday. My kids love picking them out and it’s so fun to look back at the minis they picked. And I love that I can get a thoughtful gift without stressing out about what to buy.

Do you have any Nora Fleming? What are your favorite options?
