Collection: Motherday

Like a good child, you already know that Mother’s Day is coming (and if you don’t know, don’t worry, we are here to remind you and we promise we won’t remind your mother). The problem is: you don’t know what to get her. Well, if you love your mother, and you undoubtedly do, surprise her with the most delicious chocolate. At De Bonte Koe we understand how important mothers are, so we would like to share a few ideas with you to make sure they have a very special day!

A special Mother's Day gift for the 99th Dutch Mother's Day

On May 12th this year, we will all celebrate those who gave birth to us with a Mother’s Day gift. This tradition began at different times, depending on the country, but is now celebrated almost everywhere in the world. Usually, Mother’s Day is celebrated in spring, a perfect time to enjoy beautiful moments with family, when the winter cold begins to disappear and makes way for longer and more beautiful days.

In the Netherlands, Mother's Day started almost 100 years ago, in May 1925. As simple as it is, this day was created so that each of us can thank our mothers (but also stepmothers, grandmothers and all other women who do their best to raise children) for everything they do for us, with care and a Mother's Day gift of course. Or even better: Mother's Day chocolate. Or even better: bonbons from the Bonte Koe!

Because just like almost everyone else, your mother loves chocolate. And for such a special day, you need something just as special. In other words, you can't express your love for your mother with poor-quality industrial chocolate that is not only too ordinary, but also bad for her health. No, you need high-quality handmade chocolate with natural and intense flavors that offer her a real taste experience and antioxidants. In fact, bonbons from De Bonte Koe are a way to tell your mother that you want her to enjoy life and live longer. Have you ever thought of a better way to say "I love you"?

The traditional Mother's Day poem

The most traditional way to show your mother that you love her and appreciate the way she raised you and put all her energy into it is to bring her a nice breakfast in bed with her favorite flowers. After that, you can read her a beautiful poem in which you express how much you love her and how important she is to you.

But what about a more fun, tasty and modern way to do this? An easier way to bring tears of joy to your mother’s eyes is to give her the chocolate she deserves. At De Bonte Koe we have several beautiful chocolate hearts available, and to make this even more special, you can choose to write a little poem for her, which we will include as a card for you. They say that love goes through the stomach, and a delicious chocolate says more than a thousand words!

The best Mother's Day gift? Chocolate!

Mother’s Day is all about intentions and attention. You might think about making your beloved mother’s life easier for one day by cleaning her car or giving her a nice massage, but honestly, when it comes to attention, nothing beats a nice gift.

Although it is of course impossible to return all the love our mother has given us all our lives in one day, we can still try to show her how important she is to us. Just like mothers who are constantly thinking about their children, we should think about a gift that will show them how much we appreciate everything she does for us. But that does not mean it has to be a painful effort. Your mother would not want her child to suffer too much!

If you want to make it easy on yourself and yet special for her, choose the prettiest box of chocolates you can find and write a personal and touching message. Then let the quality of the chocolate do the rest. At De Bonte Koe, we select the best cocoa beans and use our unique experience to create a real tasting experience that will make your taste buds tingle! And because mothers are generous, yours will probably let you try a few chocolates from her box and love to see you enjoy them. Talk about a perfect gift!

And for those who live far from their mother's house, you can send her one of the gift boxes: a chocolate box that fits through the letterbox and arrives directly to her. An exciting surprise and a way to remind her of the beautiful attention you gave her every time she opens the box!

As you can see, it's not that hard to make your mom feel important on Mother's Day; all it takes is a chocolate gift from De Bonte Koe!
