In America 86% of people celebrate Mother’s Day, giving gifts to Moms and appreciating what they do every single day. Traditionally, people gift flowers, wine or chocolates. Well, this year how about doing something different for your Mom - give the gift of bacon. It’s timeless, it’s classic and thoroughly delicious!

A Mother’s Day Bacon Barbecue

What’s the ultimate way to improve Mother’s Day lunch? Why with bacon of course. How about inviting your Mom over for a bacon barbecue? Triple Hickory Smoked Bacon and Honey Cured Bacon are both thoroughly delicious on the barbecue. Pair it with corn on the cob, slaw, potato salad and some fresh crusty bread. Much nicer than a meal in a stuffy restaurant. Don’t forget to provide a crate of cold beer, or a bottle of crisp white wine. At your barbecue you could play some of the music that you and your Mom have listened to on special occasions over the years, like a wedding or a birthday soundtrack.

Special gifts for your Mom

How about putting together a special gift set for your Mom? You could include some delicious Chipotle Lime Bacon or Applewood Smoked Bacon, which are both a sensation for your tastebuds. In your gift set you could include beautiful scented soy candle to create a classy atmosphere whilst eating the gourmet bacon for dinner. Try cedar vanilla, which is a classic clean fresh smell, or mountain fig. In your gift set you could also include a Baconstrong or a Bacon Trumps t-shirt to wear with pride. After all, there’s nothing that says “I love you,” quite like delicious bacon.

Bacon of the Month Club

Signing your Mom up to the “Bacon of the month club” is another great idea for a more unusual Mother’s Day gift. This is the gift that keeps on giving - every time your Mom has another delicious and different bacon sandwich, she will think of you. Every month, she will receive unique and tasty bacon made by a master butcher, shipped straight to her door. Examples include Cajun Smoked bacon and the unusual Raspberry Chipotle. She will be also be able to taste bacon that isn’t available on the main Bacon Scouts website - showing just how special your Mom is.

Mother's Day is a great opportunity to celebrate with a delicious bacon barbecue. You can also get your Mom some great gifts, so that she will remember the day for years to come.
