“A Mother is Your First Friend, Best Friend, and Forever Friend.” – Millan Bernie
She kissed your bruises when you got knocked off your bike and wiped those little tears when things got tough. She packed your lunches with special notes, kept “super secrets” from dad, and maybe even spoiled you a bit much.
Mom’s of all sorts are the real heroes that raised us to be the unique beings that we are. You appreciate all the hard work throughout the years, right? Spend a little thought and time reminding her this Mother’s Day that her love has not gone unnoticed with these creative, local ideas:
Start with a Mother’s Day Card
Something she will always keep! A Mother’s love language is words of affirmation. Near and dear to her heart, a card filled with “love you Mom or Thank you Mom” will always make her joyful heart flutter. Pick up or request a card from one of these unique boutiques.
Thinking of a Unique, Customized Gift?
Modern hand embroidery, notebooks from across the pond, jewelry, a spa gift set, a deep bluebonnet scarf. How about a delectable treat and perfumes to delight. Maybe a gift she can craft with you, a lunch, some brunch, and a flower or two. Follow your fingers to a bountiful selection brought to you by local store owners and craftsmen who can help choose something unique to perfection.
