Mon, 04 May 2020 08:41:56 -0500

Friendly heads up – Mother’s Day is THIS WEEKEND. And you’re home all the time these days, so you have plenty of time to make your mom a homemade card that expresses your undying love, unending affection, and sincere appreciation for putting up with all of your shenanigans over the years.

While you’re at it, order something nice for all the moms in your life. We’re talking about grandma, your wife, even the lady next door who puts up with your childish behavior. Spread the love!

Charms

James Avery charms for the most charming woman you know. Cheesy? Yes. Does your mom care? No. She just wants the charms. Favorite Kid Status: Secured.

Cosmetic Bag

Here’s something you might not know: Your mom probably needs a new cosmetic bag. She would never tell you this, because she’s the world’s kindest and most selfless person. But this is a gift she’ll use every day (and think of you). Bonus: It has a built-in compliment.

Shoes / Boots

Here’s some free advice: MOMS LOVE SHOES. Here’s some more free advice: We sell shoes. Western boots. Sneakers. Slip-ons. Whatever your sweet saint of a mother prefers, we’ve got it.

Sunshade

Here at Whataburger, we’re always looking out for you. When you’re hungry. When you’re thirsty. When you’re craving Spicy Ketchup. And, when your car gets really hot after it’s been sitting in the sun for a long time. Pretty thoughtful, right? And you know who really appreciates thoughtfulness? Your mom! She’ll love this sunshade, we promise.

Fanny Pack

If your mom’s anything like ours, she probably keeps a lot of supplies on hand. Just in case. Granola bars, nail clippers, stamps … you name it, she probably has it in her purse right this second. All that to say, she might need some extra storage … and that’s where the fanny pack comes in! Moms love practical gifts, plus she’ll appreciate the nostalgia.

Socks

Last but not least... SOCKS! Everybody loves ’em. They keep you warm and toasty like a nice big hug from dear ol’ Mom. And they make for great homemade card content (Mom, you knock my socks off! Get it?! It’s comedy gold.)

Here’s our last piece of advice: Although your mom will love any of these gifts, she will also REALLY love spending time with you. So, order her favorite Whataburger menu item on our app, pick it up curbside, and sit down with her for a nice meal this weekend. Even if it's on a video call, it’ll be the perfect chance to remind her just how perfect you are.

Your sunburn is fading, your summer job is winding down and there’s a faintly crisp breeze in the air … you know what that means. The new school year is inching closer by the minute.

Nothing can ease the pain of back-to-school like a little retail therapy … and a burger or three.

Get to shopping, folks. Here are nine of our favorites for back-to-school.

Insulated Lunch Bag

Upgrade that brown bag lunch life with a Whataburger insulated lunch bag that will show off your good taste … no matter what’s for lunch.

External Phone Charger

Between Snapchatting pictures of your dog and answering your friend’s Instagram story polls, your cell phone battery probably needs some juice. And you’re probably not near a plug. And you’re also probably hungry. This fry box external charger can help with two of those three problems.

Fry Backpack

Be the coolest kid in class – or at the office – with this Whataburger fry backpack.

Zipper Ear Buds

Wireless earbuds may be all the rage these days, but you know what’s cooler? THESE EARBUDS THAT HAVE WIRES! But not just any wires. THESE WIRES ARE A ZIPPER! Enough said. *adds to cart*

Fry Day Tee

Is today Friday? Maybe. Is today Fry Day? You betcha. Channel the best day of the week, every day of the week, with your new favorite T-shirt.

Whataburger Custom Canvas Shoe

We’re not saying these shoes will get you to Whataburger any faster … but we’re not NOT saying that either… let us know how it goes. Looking for something for gym class? We’ll have more of these back in stock in September.

Cosmetic Bag

You gotta let people know what’s important in life. Spell it out with this new Whataburger cosmetic bag. Don’t wear makeup? No problem – put your pencils in it. Or use it to sneak an order of fries into class.

Dream Pens

If you go to school, you need a pen. Also, if you go to school, you have a teacher. You know what teachers love? Pens. Buy these pens and be the envy of all your friends … and maybe give one to your teacher when you want to make them smile. It’s a pen win-win.

Don’t Veto My Taquito Tee

We’ve all got differing opinions on the hard-hitting issues of our time – politics, religion and who should be the next Bachelor. But there’s one thing that no one should come for … and that’s your breakfast. Fight for your right to Taquito with this truly amazing T-shirt.

8 students. 1,700 small plastic pieces. And a perfectly perfect Whataburger model.

Give a group of girls one afternoon and almost 2,000 orange-and-white building blocks … and what do you get?

Concentration. Collaboration. Laughter. And a miniature orange-and-white striped Whataburger building, right down to the sign out front.

When participants at Girls Inc. in San Antonio, Texas, dug into a box containing more than 1,700 orange-and-white blocks, they jumped at the chance to build a Whataburger of their very own. And while they were building buildings, they were also building knowledge.
