Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show your love and appreciation for the women in your life who make you you! What better way to show mom she’s special than a one-of-a-kind gift from a local shop or maker? If you’re still looking for the perfect gift but nothing has clicked yet, here are a few ideas.
For the plant-loving mom
You can never go wrong with a beautiful bouquet of flowers to express your love and appreciation. Local florist Rose Soiree offers premade or custom bouquets at various prices to fit your budget. Stop by their pop-up at La Palmera through May 10 and curate your own bouquet especially for Mom, or bring her with you and make it a fun outing!

If Mom has a green thumb, consider shopping at local plant shops like Planted for an indoor tropical plant that she’ll love. Planted’s indoor nursery is jam-packed with beautiful flora to browse and take home as the perfect gift. For an early Mother’s Day celebration, consider attending their fairy garden terrarium workshop on May 9 from 6-7 p.m.

For the trendy mom
If your mom is sure to stay up to date on the latest home and fashion trends, it’s time to check out your local boutiques and fashion stops! Stop by Lamar Park for all your high-end fashion needs, small gifts to add to a preordered flower bouquet and last-minute glassware, candles, accessories, beauty products and more. Park Seven, Four Chicks in the Park and Julian Gold are all fabulous options.

Local boutique Bub and Beck by Madison Taylor carries “curated pieces for the modern-day woman, balancing everyday life.” Shop their selection of colorful, classy women’s clothing and jewelry, along with home and gift items. Here, you’ll find brands like Lady Captain, Never Fully Dressed, Brighton and more.
For the mom who needs a break
We all know a mom who could use a self-care day! If that’s the case, hydrafacials, chemical peels, microneedling and even vibration sound therapy could be just the thing to book for mom this year. Check out TÓRA in Rockport to book any of these services or shop their wide range of skincare and makeup products. For some all-out Mother’s Day specials, book one of the many special edition packages available at Anthony’s Salon & Day Spa or a massage service at Ella B Healing Spa by June. Book it online, or purchase a gift card for her to choose dates at her own discretion.
If you’re shopping for a less time-intensive gift, Peace of Mind Massage Therapy and Natural Healing in downtown Corpus Christi now sells “spa boxes” that contain everything you need for a stay-at-home self-care day, including various soaps, shampoos, lotions, sprays and a gift card toward a service. Peace of Mind also offers bookings for massages, mani/pedis, facials and more.
For the eccentric mom
Sometimes, we can be hard to fit into a square box. For the moms with particularly eclectic tastes, look for the perfect gift at any of this week’s local artisan markets. Items for sale across various markets include handmade jewelry and accessories, practical home decor, crocheted gifts and so much more!

Get started with the Art Center’s weekly Farmer’s Market from 5 to 8 p.m. this Wednesday, followed by Flour Bluff’s Market Days from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday. All day Saturday, shop and sip at Rose Soiree, stroll through the Southside’s very own Farmer’s Market, and, for the more rock-enthused mama, dig through vintage vinyl and memorabilia at House of Rock’s Rock & Roll Flea Market. Whether you’re picking up a gift before brunch or spending a day shopping, plan the perfect Mother’s Day with the help of local vendors.
