Right about now, the best gift you can probably give anyone is a chic protective face mask (we found several cute options made locally). But then again, mom probably also deserves to have her life sweetened up with something not COVID-related. That’s why we scoured some of our favorite local shops to find just the right gift for the amazing mothers in your life (or for yourself, if you happen to be a mom reading this).
Though many of these retailers can offer same-day service or delivery within a couple days, some of the items that are made-to-order may not make it in time. Still, we have a feeling mom will appreciate any of these treats whenever they arrive. You could always select a few items to arrive on stacked dates. Doesn’t the woman who raised you deserve to be celebrated on more than just one day?
