Your Last Minute Guide to Mom's Day Gifting

Local places to get that special gift

It's almost Mother's Day. Have you forgotten to pick up a little something for the woman who brought you into this world? Never fear! Here are our local gift suggestions for Mom.

Orchids from Blooms

Cut flowers are pretty, but why not give Mom a botanical gift that lasts more than a few days? Fifth Avenue’s always has a huge selection of orchids at fairly reasonable prices. And what Mom wouldn’t love a beautiful, show-stopping Dendrobium, or perhaps a Cambria, orchid?

Knick-knacks and More

Is your mom a lover of knick-knacks? Funny presents and weird inventions? Or beautiful bags and home goods? Seventh Avenue’s is the headquarters for gifting galore – it is nearly impossible NOT to find the perfect gift for just about anybody in your life here. Whether you’re hoping to scoop of beautiful, fun jewelry (we love a brass cuff in the shape of a measuring tape!), brightly colored Tano handbags, soaps, home accents or funny paperclips – this is the place to go.

Give Mom Something to Remember You By!

Newly-opened on Smith Street is the perfect place to get that extra special gift for Mom – and whatever you give her will make her think of you every time! By Brooklyn sells only products and goods made in the borough of Kings, so everytime she bites into a pickle, or puts on a Brooklyn hoodie, she'll think of your awesome hometown.

A Tree in Prospect Park

If your Mom is one of those people who’s tired of filling her shelves with “stuff,” give her something that won’t clutter the apartment. For as little as $75, you can dedicate a Prospect Park tree to your mom. That way, every time she strolls through the park, she’ll remember how much her kids love her.

Browse at BookCourt for Mom

Sometimes shopping, and especially shopping for someone else, can be stressful. If you're the type of person who gets anxious poking around in boutiques and gift shops, head to on Court Street, where the shopping is actually browsing, and the experience is calming. BookCourt best-sellers are always on sale, too, and the is just that – a bargain.
