Mother’s Day 2020 is almost here and your old, procrastinating ways just won’t cut it this year. Living in lockdown keeps us from dashing to the nearby flower shop for a last-minute bouquet or ducking into a department store to pick up perfume. Not to mention that mom deserves more than an after-thought gift. From small, delicious tokens of affection to indulgent experiences you can help her create at home, here are thoughtful gifts you can safely pick up locally and reaffirm your place as her favorite.
Something to make her glow
Sana Skin Studio wants to treat your mom to a luxurious clean beauty experience with a complete kit they’ll deliver to her on Mother’s Day. Inside she’ll find everything she needs for a multi-step ritual that consists of lighting a candle, soaking in the bath, slathering on some body oil and taking a moment to reflect and relax—among a few other things. Orders can be placed for weekend delivery by calling 954-740-4205.

Something for the flower fanatic
Fresh blooms are great, but they’re not the most enduring gift. Instead, get mom a bouquet of beautiful dried flowers she’ll get to admire long after Sunday. Local florist Rose Coloured is offering a variety of these long-lasting beauties in neutral colors and as well as with pops of colors. Bouquets can be ordered wrapped or in a vase and can be picked up or delivered before and on Mother’s Day.

Something to elevate happy hour
Does mom miss drinking with the gals? Get her something to make her feel like she’s sipping vino with her favorite people somewhere far-flung, because chances are she misses vacationing, too. Mr. C’s Bellini aperitivo box includes everything you need to create the perfect Italian happy hour at home: a couple of bottles of wine, batched cocktail mixes, assorted charcuterie, cheeses and crackers to snack on.
Something comfy she can wear during and after lockdown
Local knitwear designer Karelle Levy is knitting up all kinds of comfortable pieces that are sustainable and chic. From body-hugging dresses to flow kaftans and robes, KREL is one-size-fits-all and flattering on every body type. Plus, Levy is offering 50-percent off everything in stock with code ‘SPRING2020’ and customers can pick up at her Little River shop.

Something you can do together virtually
The dried blooms didn’t cut it? Enroll mom—and yourself!—in a virtual orchid workshop where the two of you can learn everything you need to know about caring for your plants. Led by the museum’s horticulturist, the $10 workshop takes place Saturday at 11am on Zoom. Alternatively, you can buy mom a membership to Vizcaya for 20-percent off and receive the workshop for free.

Something sweet, because she’s sweet
Local chocolatiers and dessert shops are showing up strong for moms this year. Some favorites include Stubborn Seed’s cookie box ($40), featuring a dozen of Dallas Wynne’s famous snickerdoodle cookies plus a bottle of champagne; Bachour’s fancy entremet cake ($55) in flavors like coconut strawberry or passion fruit; and a personalized cake from Lilly Cakes at Cafe Martorano ($35 small, $70 large). If she’s a chocolate gal, Exquisito Chocolates is doling out heart-shaped boxes of its signature truffles as well as mini hazelnut cakes. All of the above must be picked up at their respective locations.
