So, if you’re like me, you’ve waited until the last minute to get a gift to show your appreciation for a very important woman in your life – your mother! Mother’s Day is THIS SUNDAY, May 10th (not kidding!). So here’s what I’m considering…
Something cool from Swank in downtown Southern Pines. I was recently checking out their fun Mother’s Day Cards that have a homemade feel to them (but much better than if I’d actually made them myself)
I also spied some aprons that would be super cute for the moms…
And some hip and local art – you can spell out Mom, Home, Faith…and more! Swank is also featuring a $5.00 OFF coupon on sandhillsDig.com so download yours here.
OR…if your mom is more the girly girl, then I’d recommend pampering her with something from Donna Lane Spa & Pearly Girl – a gift certificate for a facial, massage (moms need TLC too!) or some Pearly Girl jewelry. You may even find something for yourself while you’re at it….
For the classic mom, I’d say call Aldena Frye Floral Designs and describe your mom (and your budget – she’ll work with what you’ve got, trust me!). She can put together custom floral arrangements, gift, silk arrangements, whatever it is it will be spectacular and Aldena will even deliver your gift on Sunday. In the past, I’ve called Aldena and ended up with something timeless. Need some more inspiration? Check out her gallery below.
If you want to treat your mom to something from the trendiest new boutique in town, then get her some jewelry or a chic bag from Pretty N’ Bliss…AND we just talked to Jess and she mentioned that they are having a 20% off jewelry & handbag special FRIDAY and SATURDAY to help you save a few bucks this Mother’s Day! Thanks Jess!
If you’ve been raised by the “Gourmet Mom” then I’d suggest a dinner gift certificate to Elliotts on Lindenrestaurant and a bottle of fine oil or vinegar from the village of Pinehurst’s newest shop, Green Gate Olive Oils. Georganne and Keith can help you pick out the perfect flavor and you’ll even get to taste it before you buy it!
