There's no excuse for forgetting a thoughtful gift

Life can get busy, yet, whether you’re a father or a child, there’s no excuse for not coming through with a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Starbucks has announced an impressive assortment of drinkware, Starbucks Cards, and eGifts to honor every special mother or mother figure in your life.

Now, this certainly isn’t the first year Starbucks has launched beautiful coffee and tea drinkware in their stores for the spring season. But this year’s drinkware collection, especially with its vivid spring floral print, caught my eye. The cold cups and tumblers within the new Mother’s Day drinkware collection are happy, bright, and cheerful — great for the mom who needs a little extra happiness in her day.

Though the drinkware collection is impressive on its own, I love the two unique Mother’s Day-themed gift cards and eGift card designs. Pairing a vibrant Starbucks eGift or gift card with a selection from the drinkware collection takes the guesswork out of finding a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift for any coffee or tea-loving mom.

Starbucks’ Mother’s Day drinkware collection, including cold cups and tumblers, is available for a limited time at participating Starbucks cafes, as well as select Starbucks stores inside grocery stores, airports, and hospitals. You can’t go wrong with any of these Mother’s Day drinkware products, which include:

  • Mother’s Day Floral Glass Cold Cup (18 oz.): $19.95
  • Mother’s Day Fuchsia Hot & Cold Cup (16 oz.): $16.95
  • Mother’s Day Yellow Jeweled Cold Cup (24 oz.): $29.95
  • Mother’s Day Floral Ceramic Tumbler (12 oz.): $19.95

Thai restaurants are some of the most popular in America, and New York City is no exception. Within the city limits, hundreds of Thai restaurants call the five boroughs home, and while Pad Thai and chicken satay are tasty mainstays, knowledgeable diners are aware there’s more to Thai cuisine than the takeout favorites. From Michelin Bib Gourmand awardees to fine dining, New York City has all levels of Thai food. Having dined at many such eateries in the city, I’ve listed a few standouts showcasing the regional diversity of Thai cuisine in New York.

The best single malt Scotch whiskies that are available everywhere
Glenmorangie

Single malt Scotch whisky carries a bit of a stigma. There’s an air of fanciness that the other whisk(e)y styles don’t have. This is likely because of its storied history and the fact that you probably started drinking other types of whiskey, like bourbon or rye, before venturing into the world of Scotch, especially single malt Scotch.

As a whisky writer with more than 20 years of professional experience, I’m here to tell you that the world of Scotch (and single malt Scotch in particular) is much more approachable than it seems. You don’t need a tweed jacket, an ornate pipe, or even a fancy mustache to enjoy a glass of single malt Scotch whisky; you need to know where to find a great, approachable bottle. That’s because myriad outstanding bottles of single malt Scotch are available everywhere whisky is sold.

It is always time for a good burger: Learn how to make the best burger at home with a NYC expert
Burger, Food

I am not a foodie. Any friends of mine will probably tell you I have the palate of a ten-year-old. And I am ok with that. Hell, don’t get mad at me because I found all the foods I love when I was a child. You can keep your expensive seafood and works of art on a plate for the price of a competition bike. Give me the $1.50 slice, the hot dog outside Central Park, and a good burger that makes your mouth water. Oh, you need something a little more elevated? Fine, give me a steak, mashed potatoes, and an old fashioned.

Anyway, since moving to NYC, I have been on the hunt for the greatest burger in the city, and when I stepped into Gotham Burger, I may have accomplished the feat. Is it a work of art on a plate? Nope, it is just a burger. Uncomplicated. Simple. Mouthwatering.
