If you asked me on any given year what I might want as a gift for Mother’s Day, I’d tell you honestly that I don’t know.

It always feels like I need or want something…like a spa day. Or a manicure/pedicure.

Other times I’d say a new pair of runners, or a gift card to my favorite clothing store.

On most days, I’d tell you I really just want a day off!

But lately I’ve been thinking of one specific gift. Blame it on the flexible diet I’m on, or blame it on my new outlook for healthier eating. Actually I can blame it on my coach and all of those Instagram perfect pictures of the best looking and healthy smoothie drinks ever!

Yup, you heard me right. I’m dreaming of a new blender. Well actually not a new one because (wait for it…), I don’t even have one (gasp). Yes, I’m a blender virgin. And I can’t take it anymore!!

Recently I had the opportunity to attend an event featuring Hamilton Beach‘s newest products. Amazing lineup of everything from coffee makers (a must for every mom), slow cookers (a must for every cook), grills, toasters, mixers, you name it.

But the one that really stood out to me was the selection of blenders. And this is a must have for every mom that loves to be in the kitchen.

There’s a great selection to choose from and my personal fav was the Sound Shield 950.

No more worrying about making messes or too much noise with this one. Check out some of its features:

Quiet Blend™ technology
Hinged 2-piece sound shield for noise reduction
52 oz. dishwasher safe glass MultiBlend™ jar
5 speeds and 3 programs with pulse function
Stainless steel blades for superior ice crushing
950 watt peak power motor
Drip-free pour spout & lid

I was super excited to try it out. So together with my coach, we created a recipe for a great smoothie and put the blender to the test!

I couldn’t love it more and know that you will too. That is why it is the perfect Mother’s Day gift for the mom in your life.
