The significance of a good mother impacts each child in this world. The way that maternal figure looks can vary, and the role is not always played by a traditional candidate, but each is deserving of the same recognition. Yet, a mother’s job does not fade even as children turn into adults, it just evolves. They are still there to give wise advice on a late night, to be a shoulder to cry on, and to help when their kids feel a little bit stuck. A mother can give so much love, that we created a day to celebrate them.

           This year, that day is on Sunday, May 8th, which may seem like it has snuck up  quicker than usual. But if this friendly reminder has sent you into a whirlwind of panic from a lack of gift ideas, then you do not need to fear any longer. Our Wooster shops have long been prepared for the holiday and have quite the collection of gifts for you to choose from, with plenty of time to spare.

           Most of our downtown shops will not be open on the day of, but gift cards are always a popular option. If your mom would appreciate a fresh haircut, or a new color entirely then a gift card to one of our local salons could be the perfect gift. Salon Fringe or Addison Scott Hair Company are great salons that specialize in a specific type of hair treatment. Salon Fringe focuses on curly hair, whereas Addison Scott Hair Company is known for its hair extensions. Another option would be the House of Hair, which just about entails any hair related treatment you might think of.

           Some of our salons double as both a spa and a salon, including businesses like Clow9 Hair Studio, Cutters Hair Studio and Spa, and Rhimix Salon and Spa. The Salt and Serenity Grotto is also a spa, and doubles as a detox, with online gift cards available.

If you think your mom would prefer something sweet, then the Cookie Snob might be something that will pique your interest. They already have an online option to purchase a batch of a dozen cookies for Mother’s Day, which will be made fresh, and can be delivered, or picked up (with at least a 72-hour notice).

Of course, flowers are also a great way to show your appreciation in a colorful way. Wooster Floral and Gifts, and Com-Patt-Ibles Flowers and Gifts are both amazing local florists, who both already have a selection of Mother’s Day flowers to make picking your bouquet easier. Depending on the time that you submitted your order, they also offer same day delivery.

Wooster also has a large repertoire of shops where you can pick up small gifts or gift cards to certain stores based on your mom’s preferences. Books In Stock is the perfect fit for any mothers who are bookworms. Blue Spruce Boutique is a good pick for those looking for new decorations, or items like candles, and cooking supplies, and Black Bird Records is a fantastic choice for the vintage music lovers.

Mother’s Day is an amazing opportunity to celebrate our mother’s and let them know how much we care and appreciate them. No matter what you decide to give your mom this Mother’s Day, they are sure to love whatever it is, knowing that you took the time to think of them while shopping.
