Upstater

Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 14th, and the Hudson Valley/Catskills offers a wealth of high-quality, locally-made products that would make thoughtful gifts for the mother/parental figure who saw you through your annoying teenage years.

Here are just a few ways you can show Mom how much you care with items made right here in the Upstater area:

• Send her beauty products form Phoenicia Soap Company. Pick out fragrant soaps made with all natural ingredients, like Lilac Sandalwood (our personal favorite) and Bergamot Rose. Order a Mother’s Day basket here. www.phoeniciasoap.com.
• Shower her with jewelry, etc. from Roxbury General. The general store located in the Delaware County village of Roxbury provides many locally-made products like jewelry, books, home goods, and games. www.roxburygeneral.com.
• Cook her dinner with fresh pasta from La Bella Pasta, Kingston. www.lbpasta.comThe pasta-making business whips up delectable pastas like pumpkin ravioli, black bean ravioli, vegan vegetable ravioli, gnocchi, cheese tortellini, and a whole lot more.
• Mix her a cocktail with Hudson Standard syrups and bitters made in small batches from locally-sourced ingredients. Shrub flavors like Three Pines, Raspberry Verbena, and Cucumber Mint Switchel will liven up any summertime beverage. www.hudsonstandard.com.
• Spoil her with International Chocolate Award-winning Fruition Chocolate, made right in the Catskill Mountains. Irish Whiskey Caramels? Hudson Valley Bourbon Dark Chocolate bars? Happy Mother’s Day, indeed. www.tastefruition.com
