Moms– they change our diapers, they work tirelessly and still find time to empathize with and support us, and they guide us through even the cringiest moments of our teenage self-discovery with the grace of warriors. There’s probably no way we can ever fully thank our mothers for everything they do for us — but there’s no better day of the year to try than Mother’s Day. This year, on May 8, treat her to something truly special. Here are the best Mother’s Day gift ideas for every type of mom.

LĒVO Home-Infuser

With LĒVO, your mom can home-infuse ingredients with endless benefits for the mind and body. From symptom relief to healthy culinary creations, LĒVO empowers users to take control of the ingredients they put in – and on – their bodies. Fruits, spices, and nuts infuse too. LĒVO-made products are inherently healthier than their highly-processed and mass-produced alternatives. Aside from the LĒVO machine, you only need three things:

  • Your plant(s): You can use fresh or dried whole plants, such as herbs, whole spices, flowers, dried fruits, nuts, peppers, mushrooms, and more.
  • A liquid: The most common liquid carriers are fats. Think olive oil, butter, coconut oil, and sesame oil. You can also use LĒVO to infuse other liquids like milk, honey, and vinegar.
  • An air-tight container: You’ll need something to catch your infusion once it’s ready. A glass jar or Tupperware will work!

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Cigar Club Miami
cigar lounge

There are no shortages of cigar lounges in Miami. There’s a particular cigar lounge I’ve frequented in Miami where I constantly run into NFL legend and Hall of Famer Ed Reed. But then I found Cigar Club Miami. It’s the place you want to be if you’re looking for an elevated experience. For my money, it’s also your best option in downtown Miami. Elad Smadja opened the joint in January 2023. The objective was simple: give the downtown area a modern cigar lounge offering a premium cigar selection and craft cocktails. He more than delivered.

From the onset, the moody exterior prepares you for what you’re about to walk into. You’re immediately greeted with warm lighting and modern luxury throughout, from the leather barstools and Carrara marble bar top to comfortable suede chairs. The lounge features a wall humidor stocked with some of the finest cigars. The bar is also fully stocked. If you find yourself there during happy hour, peruse the healthy selection of aged whiskeys.

We learned and forgot how to make the perfect movie in 5 years
Adult, Female, Person

I have said it forever: the 80s had the best music, the 90s had the best movies. I will die on this hill. The movie scene in the 90s was unbeatable. Action stars like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Keanu Reeves, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis brought some of the best thrill rides that are still being chased today. Comedy greats like Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller rose to stardom, and the romantic comedy reached its apex. Horror films like The Sixth Sense and Scream changed how scary movies were made. And movies like Fight Club pushed the boundaries of what audiences were ready for.

But near the end of that era, we, as a society, discovered something: the perfect movie. What made them perfect? Two and a half things. Number one: They crossed more than two genres. This wasn’t just an action comedy, a romantic adventure, or something that brought two big umbrellas together. This was something that felt like it had it all. Action. Comedy. Romance. Adventure. Maybe even a little horror. Number two: These felt like any age could watch these movies and have a good time. From twelve to twenty or fifteen to fifty, these were a good time at the theater for everyone. The half thing: Great performances by the entire cast. These weren’t led by one person at the front who brought up the median performance.

The 10 best flavored cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2026
Face, Head, Person

Cigars are a newer hobby for me. I found myself randomly walking the streets of New York with coworkers way back in January of this year and we stopped of at The Carnegie Club. Think dark acedemia with cigars and cocktails. I was immediately struck by the culture. By the way the men around me dove deep into the menu and meticulously chose the right stick. Then, paired it with the right drink. Next thing I knew, I was sitting on the deck of a Windstar cruise smoking a cigar and staring at the French coastline. I found myself on safari and spending every night smoking a cigar and staring at Kilamanjaro.

Here is the truth though, I didn’t know a damn thing about cigars, so I reached out and got some help. Here are the best flavored cigars I tried in 2026 that were recommended to me.
