PSA: Mother’s Day is next Sunday. Have you thought about what you’re going to get the moms in your life for the day we honor motherhood? If not, we’ve got you covered.
Huckberry, the manly membership deal site, has teamed up with two artisans in California–the typewriter-toting poet Zach Houston, recently profiled on NPR and Jaynelle St. Jean, the pie-wizardress behind Pietisserie–to help to create the ultimate Mother’s Day Gift: a pie + a poem.
The idea is simple but brilliant: you tell Huckberry what’s unique about your mom and Zach the poet will use the details to write a custom poem for her on his Swiss-made, green 1968 Hermes Rocket typewriter.
Huckberry will then package the poem in an artisan box that will also include two mini-pies of your choice from Jaynelle the pie lady, a flower, and a hand-stamped package with your name on it.
It’s personal. It’s unique. And your mom will love it.
The pie + poem offer ends this Sunday, and supplies are limited, so you’ll need to act quickly if you want to give this great gift for your own mom or the mother of your children. (It’s only $35! Way better than a boring old $75 flower bouquet.) Sign up for Huckberry’s membership site using this link to get an exclusive AoM $5 credit. [Update: Huckberry has now sold out of all available pie + poem sets. The giveaway will still be open until tomorrow though and hopefully we'll do this again next year.]
In the meantime, we’re giving away one Mother’s Day pie + poem package to one lucky AoM reader. To enter, simply share something you love about your mom (or your significant other if she’s a mom) in the comments. We’ll pick one random comment as the winner. The deadline to enter is Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 11AM CDT. It’s a short contest, so no dilly dallying!

Even after a long, hard day’s work she always took time to make the best food ever.
She is a wonderful wife and NEW MOM!
I love my mom for always being at my basketball games
I love my mom for always being at my basketball games.
My mom is the greatest because she always puts me ahead of everything else. She is sweet and never cares about what she wants. She has dedicated everything to giving me the best life possible.
She has provided me a lifelong example of frugality, determination and selflessness. And now that I’m older, I thank her for making me eat my vegetables when I was young.
Young as I may be, I’ve realized the extent to which my mother has sacrificed for me. She does everything that is good for me, no matter the obstacle, but also understands it may not be the best for me. Regardless, she puts a lot of effort and care in my life.
I love how my mom has been raisin’ me right since 1990.
Never once has my mom wanted me to be anything else than what I am.
My mom never fails to laugh at every joke I tell, even when no one else does.
I love that my mom, no matter the circumstance, would give her last dollar to someone else in need.
My wife is the most amazing mom ever. Not only does she keep our home looking beautiful, she is the mother of 13 beautiful children….with the youngest being only 2 weeks old!
My wife makes such sacrifices so that our children and myself may be more comfortable.
My wife’s selfless care and love for our two children.
What I love best about my mother is her inspiring acceptance of my life choices. She always has been behind me one-hundred percent, and I’m very grateful for that.
My Mom is always there for me no matter what, and still tries to help me all she can even when I am off at college and do not see her for months at a time.
The one thing i love is that she supports me no matter what. Right now i am a current DEPer for the navy leave in july; she hates to see me leave but at the end of the day shes happy to see me start my own life.
My wonderful wife has dived with great aplomb into the role of mom to the three boys she gained when she married me. They couldn’t ask for better.
She always selflessly cared for and loved my three brothers and me
She cares for her kids more than anything and is willing to work as hard as she can to support us. Always there.
I love my mom because she is the only person I know willing to give up of herself in order to help others.
After 23 wonderful years of marriage, my wife and I were blessed with the birth of our first child this year. And not just in any ordinary manner, but through the wonderful gift of a gestational carrier.
I love my Mom because shes always there for me. To listen to my every need and do everything she can to help out.
She supports me in everything I do. She is my number 1 cheerleader.
She works really hard to keep things tidy and keep things running smoothly, but is always willing to listen if we want to talk.
I love that my mother instilled in me values and ideals that have made me a kinder and more accepting person than I might otherwise have been. Love you mom.
I love my Mom for spending hours in labor with me and then taking care of a sick child for the next three years.
My mother has the true gift of being able to support both my brother and myself in out life decisions/vocations, always giving her full support.
No matter how much I argued at the time… years later, I’m finding out that she was right.
I love that my mom Helen Long was one of the first women ever to join the Women’s Army Corps (WACS) to serve her country during World War II.
My mother is getting me through school and is always trying to do what is best for me.
She was always quick to listen and taught the art of listening to me. Hey, love the Swiss typewriter.
My Mom is always there for me.
Cheers to you mom..for always supporting me in every endeavor I’ve chosen in life and I am grateful for the uncanny ability you possess
to always tell me what I need to hear at that particular moment in life to excel.
Honestly, the best thing about my mom is that she put up with all the crap I’ve done and still believes in me.
My wife LeAnn is a wonderful mother and grandmother. She is a fabulous cook and she just completed her first 100 Km bike race. She is my heart and soul.
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
BECAUSE SHE WORKS HARDER AND LOVES MORE DEEPLY THAN ANYONE I KNOW
My wife is an awesome mom to our 8 month old daughter.
My mom is the greatest mom and greatest grandma at the same time!
My mom raised 4 kids by herself and made many sacrifices for us. It’s a debt that I try to repay daily.
She always motivates me and makes sure I live up to my own standards.
Unconditional love.
I love my Mom for always being there for me and my brother
She’s a wonderful mother to two great kids, cook, family finance wizard, and wife.
She is a wonderful mother and always seems to have the time to do everything sun and bake you cookies.

Motherhood looks amazing on my wife of four years. The way she so eagerly sacrifices herself for our daughter’s sake inspires and awes me.
My mom works so hard everyday for her kids and never expects anything in return. That’s love.
My mother has been with me through some very tough times. Without a father to teach me things, she taught me all she could and she helped me try to learn things on my own as well. I wouldn’t be who I am today without her help.
What i love about my mom is…the fact that me and my brothers can work and annoy her to no end, brawl with her all day, do the stupidest things…and she still loves us and keeps sane…mostly.
also, my apologies for the double posts, it said it didnt go through
My mother taught everything I know about this world. She is compassionate and overall the most amazing woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I lost my father at an early age, but she never ceased to take time out for me as her only son. Although there are some things she couldn’t teach me, she helped me become the man I am today. I know I wouldn’t be half the man I am now without her.
Despite battling early stage Parkinson’s my mom still pushes herself to her children, and now grandchildren. She is the epitome of selflessness.
My mom has raised five of her ten children and is still joyful. She is my friend and my inspiration.
I love my mom for homeschooling me!
She always makes me feel like I’m the most important person in her life. Family comes first!
I love her cooking. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g is homemade.
I love that my wife always does everything she possibly can to make sure our son (who has autism) is constantly learning and growing. She is patient and understanding despite the obvious challenges. She has a relentless desire to see him be the best that he can be. She at the same time works as well outside the home, to help provide for our family. She often does not get very much for herself because she always gives all to the rest of us. She is amazing and I am thankful for her.
She is always there to listen and support me
My mother, what are the words that can best describe my mother ? She is one of the strongest person I have in my life. Raising 3 boys and a girl who has down syndrome. Rising above adversities such as an ex husband cheating on her. Staying virtuous at all times and being the greatest example that she is to me and my siblings.
My mother, what are the words that can best describe my mother ? A nurse, and is now a care giver for the elderly. Unconditional love that she gives. Unbreakable will that she possess.
Unwavering spirit that she carry.
The most beautiful, most talented, most caring .and most loving woman and mother in the world.
My mother, what are the words that can best describe my mother ?
She’s one of the most selfless people I know.
My mom always comforts me when I have relationship troubles and pretty much any troubles for that matter.
My mom has the largest heart of anyone I have ever meet. In all seriousness.
Also, She invented Elf on a Shelf.
I love that my mom has been an example to me (and many others) of patience, wisdom, and joyfulness in even the most painful times.
My Mom spent 3 years working 10 hour workdays and giving the remaining 2-3 by visiting her mother, my grandma, in a private care nursing home for 3 years. She’s the strongest woman I know and I love her very much. Very few women are as deserving as she is.
My mom has eight kids and she homeschools them all!
Sacrifice and support throughout my life. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful mom.

My mom always told the greatest bedtime stories.
My Mom needs one!
my wife is about to have our first child anyday and I don’t know how I could love her any more but I think when he or she arrives I will somehow find a way!
I love the way my mom tells stories.
She is selfless.
My wife is the best mom I ever knew. She never had a child herself but through our 30 years together she helped raise my son and when he was grown and on his own we adopted a boy who was 5 years old and raised him. She did this while dealing with me being active duty Army the entire time. Waiting for me to return from training, a mission or long deployments. Also doing the same for our sons one deployed during the first gulf war and the one who is now in Afghanistan. She ran the house took care of the finances and made sure the boys had what they needed. She is the best cook ever, artistic (stained glass) loves the arts and music. She deserves only the best, the boys are gone and she has to put up with me all the time now and that isn’t easy!
her boundless sacrifice in leaving her family to come to america so her children could have a better life.
She is a strong woman, a hard worker and a great mom!
that she loves me no matter what :)
persistence and undying devotion to her family
My mother is the best!! I love her with all my heart and cant thank her enough for whipping my ass until I got my act together!
