Mother’sDay
For Mother’s Day, Give Some Love to Mom and Your Small Business Neighbors
P
andemic or no pandemic – there’s no excuse to skimp on mom this Mother’s Day. Shelter-in-place may have cancelled out your traditional brunch plans, but there are still ways to celebrate mom’s special day, including a breakfast delivery from her favorite restaurant. And, what better time than now to think of mom and shop local as small businesses are struggling to recover from a month of closure. Several local retailers offer curbside pick-up or local deliveries for online purchases, but you can also shop online and then purchase and pay by phone then pick up curbside. Flowers and chocolates are rarely bad ideas, but other gift ideas abound for moms with varying tastes and interests. If you’re behind on your shopping, here are some great ideas to get you started.
