Just For Mom: Sausage every month!
Chocolate is lovely, brunch is nice and flowers are swell, but they are so predictable on Mother’s Day. Instead, surprise Mom with the Boulder Sausage Basket. Each month she’ll receive four packages of sausage and goods from local brands including OZO Coffee, Savory Spice Shop and Good Love Foods. June’s basket features hot Italian links and sweets from Lafayette’s Cherry’s Cheesecake. Order: bouldersausage.com
For the nostalgic, Boulder Sausage started out as Don’s Cheese and Sausage, a popular Boulder eatery/market open at various locations from 1963 to 1987.
