What Makes It a Great Gift for Mom

Some gifts get used once and forgotten. This one becomes part of Mom’s everyday rituals.

Berry Buddy® is a beautifully handcrafted stoneware strainer made by Pennsylvania potter Brian Kunkelman. It turns a simple “I’m rinsing fruit” moment into something quietly special—whether she’s washing berries for breakfast, prepping fruit for a family dessert, or setting out a fresh snack when everyone drops by.

Why Mom Will Love Receiving It

  • It feels personal, not generic. Each piece is handmade, so every Berry Buddy is unique and will vary—the kind of one-of-a-kind detail that makes a gift feel chosen, not grabbed.
  • It elevates her everyday. The organic elegance of handcrafted stoneware brings artisan charm to her kitchen counter and table.
  • It’s genuinely useful. A beautiful gift is great; a beautiful gift she’ll reach for all the time is even better.
  • It says “I notice what you love.” Perfect for the mom who enjoys cooking, hosting, healthy snacks, farmers’ market finds, or simply having lovely things that work well.

Perfect For These Gift Occasions

  • Mother’s Day (pair it with fresh berries or her favorite jam)
  • Her birthday (a timeless kitchen upgrade she wouldn’t buy for herself)
  • Holidays (a cozy, practical present that still feels special)
  • Thank-you gifts for all she does
  • Housewarmings or “new kitchen” celebrations
  • Just because—the most memorable kind

The Moment She Opens It

She’ll feel genuinely seen—like you picked something that matches her style and the way she lives. It’s the kind of gift that earns a smile right away…and then keeps delivering every time she rinses berries, serves fruit, or sets out something fresh for the people she loves.

Each pot requires the same care and attention, whether you're making one or a hundred...and I try to be conscious that this pot's going to be part of someone's life.

"There's a fine line between a rut and a groove," potter Brian Kunkelman likes to say. This idea reflects the balance required to hand-throw each design with the mix of consistency and variation that makes every piece one-of-a-kind. Brian goes with the flow—from the water outside his studio window to the music playing near his potter's wheel, to the meditative rhythm of working with clay. Using little more than his hands and his trusty powered foot wheel, he shapes stoneware into clever bowls that blend organic elegance with everyday utility.

Are there holes underneath the berries or just on the lower edges?

Verified reply from Marisa

We're not sure exactly what you mean, but there are holes for the water to drain. There are several thumbnail photos just below the main one. Click on them, and they'll enlarge. Then you can see where the holes are.
