Mother’s Day

APRIL 2015 • SUN MEDIA

Great Summer

is just around the corner and so is the first big holiday of the season. Mother’s Day, a time to thank and honor our mothers for giving us life, raising us and being there for us through thick and thin, falls on Sunday, May 10. Have you picked up a gift for your mother, or the mother of your children yet? If not, time is of the essence. Whether she is still hard at work raising children, or her kids have grown up and are now out on their own, Mom deserves our best efforts come Mother’s Day. Rather than just picking up flowers or chocolates again this year, why not go the extra mile and pick out a gift that will be memorable? Because some of the most memorable gifts are those that are personalized, one idea may be to shop at a store like Hillary’s Hand-Painted and Personalized Gifts of Hopkins.

Storeowner Hillary Feder says they have a wide selection of gifts to choose from. “We have a lot of handcrafted necklaces in stock that can be personalized with children’s names, special dates, such as birthdays and anniversaries and the like,� she says. “Personalized gift baskets are also especially popular. We have gifts that can be placed in them that are appropriate for just about anyone—the coffee lover, the busy executive, the exercise nut.� Liz Mugford, a buyer at the General Store of Minnetonka, says she expects gifts that are focused on making memories to be big this year. “We have some great memory books and prompted journals with places where moms can write down ideas and memories that can one

day be handed down to their children, making it an heirloom piece,� she says. Also expected to be big movers this year, gifts that pamper, such as Thymes brand lotions, fragrances and bubble baths, which are produced right here in the Twin Cities. “We also have a wonderful selection of jewelry, including Pandora and Alex and Ani, and gifts that will be appreciated by Moms who enjoy such activities as cooking, travel and gardening,� says Mugford. If you plan to do your shopping in St. Louis Park, there are a variety of shops to check out at The Shops at West End, while in Excelsior, browsing the inventory at the many shops along Water Street is sure to be enjoyable. If shopping for a gift seems like

too daunting of a task, another great way to show how much you care is by picking up a gift certificate Mom can use to get something she likes at her favorite store. Many stores offer them. So do spas like newreflections salon, which has a location in Minnetonka. The spa offers services ranging from haircuts and waxing to facials and full body massages. Another great gift idea is to give Mom the day off on May 10, and surprise her with the news that Sunday morning. Dad and the kids can bring Mom breakfast in bed. Then for lunch, surprise her with a picnic basket already filled with goodies and take her out to the lake, or her favorite park. For dinner, a visit to her favorite restaurant may be in order. No matter what you decide to get Mom, or do for her on Mother’s Day, any effort is sure to be appreciated.
