Thanks to Thom Rafferty for this information. He’s my go-to guy when I need something really unusual for something– whether it’s cocktails (see tomorrow for that post) and gifting as well as parties. You want to live well right? You want to enjoy the best of the best– thus you will savor the lusciousness not only of the product but the time you are spending with others as well as the time spent in preparation.
Spring brings to mind Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Weddings (and related) to name but a few occasions. They also pose some real gifting challenges. For Mother’s Day, what do you give a Mom or Grandmother who has everything, or is just difficult to buy for? The same question applies to Dads and Granddads. And the gift hurdles don’t stop there. Spring is Wedding season. Couples with pending nuptials face traditions like wedding party gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen. Special, atypical gifts are a winning commodity for all these occasions, and I have found a way to honor them all in a way that is also highly individual…
From Robert Lambert himself:
For Mother’s Day and Bridal Gifts, each beautifully adorned SPRING ARTISAN DUO GIFT BOX and SPRING MARMALADES DUO GIFT BOX is filled with selections you choose…tailored to the recipient.
In addition, I’ve created a series of gift cards for them by printing my card logo over blowups of the gorgeous flowers at my family farm. I have so many choices none need ever be repeated, so each is one-of-a-kind…just like your cherished Mom, Grandmother, or friend. The gold 2-jar box is accented with two tones of ribbon and special gift card. For the men… the ORIGINAL ARTISAN/MARMALADE DUO in a bold kraft box with distinctive green accent ribbon is simply ideal. And please feel free to contact me about special large order needs and questions.
The Summer Fruitcake also returns this year as a particularly appropriate Mother’s Day offering, garnished with colorful pansies or other flowers fresh from my garden. It’s a beautiful presentation and sumptuous treat with a plethora of ingredients and a “touch of the islands”:
RETAILERS WHO FEATURE ROBERT LAMBERT PRODUCTS:
While online sales are nationwide, I’d like to take time to celebrate those exclusive and local shops across the country that do so much to expose my products to their customers, whether they carry one or several items from my line. Often they are institutions in their communities, discriminating and commited to educating their local base about small high quality lines that are easily overlooked by national chains. Their dedicated and knowledgeable staffs understand Lambert’s work and are eager to share their superior ingredients and unique attributes. They also share how they can be paired with other products they offer. The link below is to the Retailers page on Lambert’s site. I encourage you to visit them and discover these true “gems”. Some of them may be right in your own neck of the woods: http://www.robertlambert.com/store/where.html
Thanks to Thom Rafferty all his help. He’s awesome in helping me curate some great products. He’s the one who introduced me to Robert Lambert products– the to die for chocolate and caramel sauces (they make great desserts and cocktails!)
Wait till you see the cocktails!! OMG they are to die for! But these items are absolutely FABULOUS gifts that will give the recipient a “WOW” moment and suddenly your foodie credibility will go up a couple notches.

Wow, Stevie! Thank you for the mention (I’m blushing). I always appreciate the chance to be associated with quality gift giving…it makes life better for all.
They look SO pretty. Our mother’s day is earlier in the year and I am not sure we can get them over here, but they are lovely!
Excellent ideas for gift shoppers here. Many mothers would be happy with these.
