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.

Drinkware collection

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

What I learned about the caffeine in Starbucks’ Cortado after drinking it for a week
The Cortado has more caffeine than you'd think
Starbucks Cortado

The Cortado is the perfect "all-around" espresso drink with the ideal one-to-one balance of steamed milk and espresso. I've ordered this drink at coffee shops in the past, but Starbucks' recent release of the Cortado has revived my love of this drink. I admit I've ordered it at least three times since its release at Starbucks on January 3rd. The first few times I ordered this drink, it hit the spot every time. Yet, the most recent time I ordered the drink, I discovered just how much caffeine this small, eight-ounce coffee pack contained. Here's what I realized about the small but mighty Starbucks Cortado.
About the Starbucks Cortado

Per Starbucks' definition of the drink, their version of the Cortado is made with three Ristretto shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso and steamed milk to give it a velvety texture and balanced flavor. The Cortado is served in an 8-ounce cup (Starbucks' "short" cup). In my case, I first read this description on the menu after I started to experience some symptoms that made me question if I overdid my caffeine consumption.
