Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. (FYI, it’s on May 11 this year.) Before you buy her the first gift basket you can find, hear me out. What Moms with a sweet tooth or a nostalgic connection to NYC really want is this epic, edible treasure trove of treats from New York’s famous Carnegie Deli.

Behold: The Mother’s Day gift box. This collection of desserts is as Big Apple as it gets. It includes two silky, velvety-smooth New York-style mini cheesecakes, two giant black and white cookies and two chocolate babkas. It’ll be a welcome addition to any brunch or dessert spread, if you ask me, and it’s well worth the $99 price tag.

If you’re trying to get a leg up on Father’s Day, there’s a food gift for that, too. Instead of dessert, the theme of the Father’s Day gift box is meat—specifically, Carnegie Deli’s iconic pastrami and corned beef. Treat him to both and all the fixings (read: mustard, pickles and rye bread), along with New York-style cheesecake to finish off the meal. This one is more of a splurge for $175, but I’m sure Dad will be more than appreciative.
Pair these stunners with flowers and a just-mushy-enough card, and they’re sure to feel the love.
