Looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift for mom or the mother-in-law who has everything? The New York Times Wirecutter just made it easy.
The GurglePot was included in both Wirecutter's The 39 Best Gifts for Your Mother-in-Law and The Gift newsletter's "9 Perfect Mother's Day Gifts"—and we weren't surprised. We've been selling this beloved piscine pottery since 2012, and it has been a best seller ever since. The GurglePot has been a Wirecutter favorite for years—previously featured in their Best Housewarming Gifts roundup and their Itty-Bitty Gifts We Love newsletter—and it keeps earning its spot.
Here's why it works for just about anyone—mom, mother-in-law, dad or any special person in your life:
- It does something. As it pours, the GurglePot makes a soft, pleasant gurgling sound that Wirecutter describes as "not unlike a babbling brook—which is both charming and silly." People genuinely light up when they hear it for the first time.
- It's beautiful. Available in 17 cheerful shades of durable stoneware, there's a color for every home and every style.
- It's versatile. Use it as a pitcher for lemonade, water, or iced tea. Or fill it with fresh flowers and use it as a vase. Either way, it earns a permanent spot on the table.
- It's a conversation starter. Wirecutter calls it "so darn cute and versatile it will please just about anyone." Every single time.
And perhaps our favorite description of all—from a Wirecutter editor who gave one to her mom:
"Beautiful, silly, and full of joy."
—Hannah Morrill, The Gift newsletter, New York Times Wirecutter
Whether you're shopping for your own mom, your mother-in-law, your bestie, or someone you're still getting to know—the GurglePot is a gift they will reach for again and again. Available in three sizes—Large (42oz), Medium (12oz), and Mini (3oz)—there's a GurglePot for every mom on your list.
