Blue Apron is a fresh ingredient and recipe delivery service that helps chefs of all levels cook incredible meals at home. They take care of the menu planning and shopping (providing you with fresh, locally sourced ingredients in pre-measured quantities), so all you have to do is cook and enjoy.

Why We Love This Gift: Managing life is much easier with tangible support. A meal kit delivered and ready to cook enables those in need of support to fill their house with the smell of a nutritious and delicious meal - without having to plan or shop for it. This is a great gift for people in the sandwich generation - those caring for kids and aging parents. It is a great gift for a single parent who loves taking care of things - but could do with a lightening of the load. Also, remember that these kits will supply all necessary ingredients for dishes. Therefore, your best friend newly living in non-urban elsewhere won't have to find lemongrass for Thai food. Win/win. Note that Blue Apron recipes tend to cater to the more saucy and adventurous eating types. The food though, is so good, that kids do eat it - even if they think they won't. Note that some recipes can be hard to prep in advance.

What to Express in Your Card: I was thinking about how much you have to do - work, kids. I wanted just to say that I am always so amazed at how you keep it all together. I wanted to send you a meal just to say that you are amazing. I send with it lots of love.
