(nsfmg) Gift Guide for Partners
Between work, kids, relationships, life, and laundry (so much effing laundry), we know you’re exhausted. This gift guide is a shortcut for showing your partner some love because the last thing you need is another to-do on the list. We know our partners drive us a bit crazy but we love ‘em and want to show them how much they matter to us. However, we are big fans of gifts that are a perk for the whole fam so we’ve included plenty of items that will improve your life, too. After all, we are Mom Group first and foremost.
Who knew parenthood would be so . . . back breaking? Help your partner take at least the physical load off for a hot second with this acupressure mat and pillow set. Less stress and inflammation is a win for the whole family — and you know we all hear about it when someone in our house has back pain.
Great chefs don’t always make great dishwashers. For the partner who leaves pans to “soak” for extended periods of time — the Our Place Always Pan is nonstick without gross chemicals and can literally braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, and cleans up in seconds.
I subscribed to Athletic Greens for myself during a particularly ambitious “I’m going to get healthy” moment, but my partner loves it, too. Brimming with 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole-food sourced nutrients in one convenient daily serving — it’s ideal for tired parents who need a quick pick-me-up to make it through the day.
In an unfortunately unsurprising turn of events, a white man got all the credit for a special technique of charcoal filtering that (surprise) originated in West Africa. This award-winning whiskey honors Uncle Nearest, formerly enslaved man, Nathan "Nearest" Green, who taught a young Jack Daniel the craft of distilling. Victoria Eady Buttler, Green's great-great-granddaughter, is the brand's Master Blender. Cheers to that.
We’re starting a movement. It’s called “No More Fucking Cold Coffee for Parents.” The buck stops here. This Ember mug keeps your coffee warm ALL DAY. And you can control it from your phone. Welcome to the future. Get one for yourself, too.
Parenthood is basically death by a thousand mismatched socks. Lighten your (laundry) load by gifting your partner a pair of Bomba’s Gripper Slippers. Part slipper, part sock. Guaranteed to reduce your laundry by a significant percentage of socks (also helps with the rogue socks laying around the house).
Weed brownies, but make it classy. “Edibles: Small Bites for the Modern Cannabis Kitchen” will make you dinner party darlings. Or just really silly when it’s just the two of you at home with each other. Mom Group says edibles do wonders for the ol’ sex life, too. Just keep these fun looking treats out of the little one’s sights. Adults only for these bites!
Remember life pre-kids, popping into your favorite taco spot for happy hour? That was fun. Now we have Taco Tuesday with little humans who tell us everything is “too spicy.” Take your tacos to the next level with Verve Culture’s tortilla press and enjoy warm, homemade tortillas (10/10 recommend for breakfast, too).
Gift your partner an Audible subscription and they’ll never have an excuse for not reading that parenting book you sent them. Kidding (sort of?). But seriously, reading is an escape we all need during this time in our lives and will even give you something besides your kids to talk about after bedtime.
Ahh the gift that keeps on giving. Choose from a three or six month subscription of Sfoglini’s 100% organic Brooklyn-made pastas. You (I mean, your partner) will get one box of their classic creations and one of a more seasonal variety so you can keep things fresh in the dinner department.
Speaking of spicing things up in the kitchen, Diaspora Co. Single-Origin Spices come directly from small, family-run farms in India and Sri Lanka. These potent, fragrant flavors will get your partner out of a cooking (or even emotional) rut… just in time for winter. PS. If you’re curious why it costs that much, it’s because they pay their farmer partners and team fairly.
A stocking stuffer you’ll both enjoy. Überlube Luxury Lubricant is the stealthy lube of our (and their) dreams. Oh, and it works underwater. Just sayin’.
