When Flavor Becomes Emotional Language
We all know some feelings are hard to express in words. That’s where flavor becomes powerful — it speaks, touches, and evokes. This box is one of those Mother’s Day gifts that transcends material value and enters the realm of symbolism. It says what the heart feels when words fall short.
“I love you, Mom.” “Thank you for everything.” “You mean the world to me.” — they’re all there, delicately served in every jam, every cracker, every shared moment. That’s what makes this a truly meaningful gift for mom: it delivers emotion, not just products. It’s full of intention.
The Right Gift for Every Type of Mom
Not all moms are the same — but all deserve to feel special. This kit is a perfect choice because it adapts to different personalities. For the modern mom, the artistic tubes are a delight. For the traditional mom, the authentic flavors feel nostalgic. For the elegant mom, the floral packaging and ribbon are a charm. For the practical mom, the ready-to-use combo is ideal.
That’s why this box is one of the most inclusive Mother’s Day gift ideas: it doesn’t define motherhood — it celebrates it in all its forms. And that flexibility gives the gift even more emotional power. Giving with intention is honoring the uniqueness of someone you love.
More Than a Gift — A Lasting Experience
Some gifts are received and forgotten. Others leave a lasting mark — on the palate, in the memory, in the heart. The Thank You Mom Kit is in the latter category. It doesn’t end at the moment it’s given — it lives on through each use, each flavor combination, and each emotion it sparks. It becomes a sensory companion, a home ritual, an emotional memory.

Ingredients with a Story: The Soul of a Meaningful Gift
What makes this Mother’s Day gift truly special isn’t just its beautiful presentation, but the richness and authenticity of the ingredients inside. Each jam in the Thank You Mom Kit is crafted using Portuguese fruit harvested at peak ripeness from regions known for their unique character. These are flavors that tell stories — of families, landscapes, and knowledge passed down through generations. That’s why this kit is also one of the most complete Mother’s Day gifts: it offers tradition, respect for origins, and a rare sensory experience.
Choosing a creative gift for mom is more than finding something pretty — it’s about choosing something with soul. Each meia.dúzia® jam is handmade in small batches with at least 55% fresh fruit, free from artificial colors, preservatives, and made with low sugar. Authentic flavor is born from care and dedication — just like a mother’s love.
Azorean Pineapple & Lemongrass Extra Jam
Made with PDO Azorean Pineapple from São Miguel Island, this jam showcases the purity of Azorean farming. Grown in traditional glass greenhouses using century-old techniques like “hot beds” and smoke applications, this pineapple develops a balanced sweetness, delicate acidity, and a subtle aroma. It takes nearly two years to reach perfect ripeness — a true island treasure turned into flavor.
Lemongrass, with its soft citrus profile, is the perfect companion: not only does it add a fresh aroma, but it’s also known for its calming and digestive properties. A contemporary twist on a soulful jam — ideal for moms who enjoy refined and unique experiences.
Bravo de Esmolfe Apple & Cinnamon Extra Jam
Grown on the cool slopes of Beira Alta, PDO Bravo de Esmolfe apples are a symbol of resilience and authenticity. Originating from the village of Esmolfe, this apple is known for its unmistakable aroma, firm flesh, and balance of sweetness and acidity. A staple of Portuguese cuisine since the 18th century, here it becomes a comforting, delicate jam.
Cinnamon adds depth and warmth, evoking memories of baked treats from grandma’s oven, childhood desserts, and meals where love was served on a plate. A classic combination filled with nostalgia and comfort — the perfect meaningful gift for mom.
Fig & Orange with Cinnamon Extra Jam
Sweet, tender figs harvested during the Portuguese summer form the base of this rich, intense jam. They pair beautifully with citrusy Algarve IGP oranges — a signature fruit of southern Portugal, prized for its juicy pulp, aromatic peel, and exceptional quality.
Cinnamon, a spice once traded by Portuguese navigators, completes this flavor symphony with an exotic touch. This jam was awarded a star at the UK’s Great Taste Awards — a jam worthy of the finest gourmet gifts for mom.
Pumpkin & Orange with Lavender and Eucalyptus Honey, Cinnamon & Fortified Wine Jam
This jam is a tribute to convent-style Portuguese sweets, reimagined with elegance. Portuguese pumpkin, soft and golden-orange, blends with the bright acidity of Algarve IGP oranges to create a fragrant, sweet base. Floral notes from Portuguese lavender and eucalyptus honey add body and depth — a true hug for the taste buds.
Enriched with cinnamon and a hint of Port wine, this jam evokes celebratory and sophisticated flavors. A perfect choice for those seeking unique Mother’s Day gifts that combine heritage and innovation, care and elegance.
Strawberry & Mint Extra Jam
Made from strawberries grown on sustainable farms, this jam is a fruity caress — rich in vitamin C with a soft, natural texture. The mint, also of Portuguese origin, adds a refreshing herbal note that elevates the tasting experience to new heights.
This delicate combination makes this jam a fresh, well-balanced choice — ideal for moms who enjoy light, sophisticated, and unexpected flavors. A bold choice among creative Mother’s Day gifts.
Blueberry & Lemon Balm Extra Jam
The organically grown blueberries from our farm in Vila Nova de Famalicão are antioxidant-rich gems. Harvested at their peak, they offer a sweet, balanced flavor and perfect texture. Lemon balm, a traditional Portuguese medicinal herb, adds a gentle citrus touch and calming aroma.
A sophisticated, vibrant, and aromatic jam — created for moms with a refined palate and a love of nature. An excellent option among Mother’s Day gift ideas that blend health, flavor, and love.
Capinha Sweet Crackers by Diplomata Biscuit
The crackers included in this kit are rooted in warm memories of comforting snacks. This recipe, which draws from a family tradition that spans Portugal and Brazil, was perfected in Aveiro — a city where heritage, flavor, and innovation meet.
Made with wheat flour, water, sea salt from Aveiro, and vegetable margarine, these crackers are vegan, yeast-free, dye-free, and delicately crispy. Ideal with jams, cheeses, or pâtés, they provide a neutral, elegant base — perfect for exploring the full flavor experience of the kit.
A light, natural, and conscious suggestion to complete a truly authentic experience to gift mom.
Artisanal Production – When Flavor Comes from Time and Care
meia.dúzia® jams are made using artisanal methods that respect both ingredients and Portuguese tradition. Each jam is produced in small batches, cooked slowly to preserve the fruit’s natural flavor, vibrant color, and authentic texture. No preservatives, artificial colors, thickeners, or flavors are used — only fruit, a balanced amount of sugar, wines, spices, and carefully selected herbs.
This approach guarantees a genuine taste, an honest texture, and a direct connection to what matters most. In a world that is increasingly industrialized, this artisanal commitment makes all the difference. And it’s exactly what makes this one of the most special Mother’s Day gifts — everything is crafted with time, intention, and love.
Sustainable Packaging – A Gift with Purpose
meia.dúzia® believes a gift for mom should be beautiful and ethical. That’s why our jam tubes are made with over 99.7% recycled aluminum and are 100% recyclable with no loss in quality. Choosing this kit means supporting more conscious and eco-friendly practices.
This care extends to the outer packaging: each box is made with recyclable materials and designed to stir emotion. The delicate floral design, the “MOM, Thank You” message, and the white ribbon make this a meaningful gift for mom even before it’s opened — a choice that respects nature and honors the one who gave us everything.
Offering Portugal in a Jar – A Gift Full of Soul
More than a box of artisanal products, the Thank You Mom Kit is a gift full of soul. Each flavor represents a region; every fruit carries the story of a land, a people, a culture. By gifting this kit, you’re offering the best of Portugal — authenticity, simplicity, and a quiet pride in its roots.
That’s why this gift has become one of the most sought-after Mother’s Day gift ideas: because it blends flavor, beauty, tradition, and responsibility into one powerful gesture. A true experience to gift mom — one that lives beyond the moment of gifting. One that unfolds with each tasting, each slow pause, each quiet smile from a mother who feels seen and loved.
For every mom who deserves the very best, this is a gift made with heart. Made with the purest part of Portugal. Made with love — the way only moms give, and the way only attentive children know how to give back.
