Mother's Day - May 13th!

5/8/2018

0 Comments

 
​​Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Still unsure how to thank Mom for being the glue that holds the family together? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
​

If your mom is anything like ours, she taught you that it’s the thought that counts. And all she wants is more quality time with her kids. So, yes, a beautiful gift is in order, and we have plenty of great suggestions. But why not make this Mother’s Day one she won’t forget by sharing an experience with Mom? Here are a few suggestions from our gift gurus. (As seen on WPRI 12 The Rhode Show on Friday, May 4th).
​
​Meal Time

Bring the Spa to Her
Is mom a foodie? Does she love to share family recipes? Select a new cookbook and pair it with a beautiful flower sack bistro apron from June & December (pictured). But take the gift a step further by selecting one of the recipes and arriving at Mom’s with all the ingredients to prepare the meal together. Surely the gift of new memories made together will be cherished long after Mother’s Day is over.
​
 A day at the spa is always a good idea. A sweet escape from the day-to-day demands of busy family life. However, finding the time to actually get to the spa is another story. So, bring the Spa to Ma! Bath bombs, essential oils, cozy PJ bottoms, and a new page-turner, of course, is all you need to encourage Mom to take a break from it all.
​
A Bouquet as Beautiful as Mom
Picture
Everyone loves fresh flowers, and Mother’s Day is the perfect time to gift Mom with beautiful blooms. But why not make the sentiment last for years to come by presenting them in a glass vase from Simon Pearce? Pick a few bunches of cut flowers and arrange them in the vase together. If you have a brown thumb, or are short on time, fret not! We will have beautiful Mother’s Day Bouquets available for purchase by local fave Flowers by Semia on Saturday the 12th from 10am (until they sell out, and they will!) in both Barrington and Garden City.
​
The Gift of Music 
 What would Mom do if you showed up on Mother’s Day with a new turntable and some new LP's for her to enjoy? She’d probably shriek with excitement and say put the needle on the record! Exclusively at our Garden City store, an extensive assortment of high-quality used and new music on vinyl is sure to have some of mom’s all time favorites. Take a spin down memory lane together.

Oh, and don’t forget: we offer complimentary gift wrapping all year round.
