Mother's Day is right around the corner, and we'd argue the moms in your life deserve more than another red heart-shaped box from a convenience store. So we put together something a little more interesting and a whole lot better.
We've assembled a special box of Donut Friend miniatures, a curated assortment built to outshine anything Big Candy is putting on shelves this May. Inside you'll find fan favorites like Strawberrylab, King Puff, Saves the Danish, X-Ray Speculoos, Polar Berry Club, and Band of Hostess, plus a handful of one-of-a-kind creations we dreamed up this week and may never make again. Something for every mom, stepmom, grandma, mother-in-law, chosen mom, and mother lover in your life.
Preorder now for pickup on May 10th while supplies last! Quantities are limited, and once we sell out, that's it!
