It can be really hard to come up with a good Mother’s Day gift–how do you demonstrate your appreciation and love for someone who shows up and gives you her best every day? If you’re struggling to come up with the perfect gift for the Moms or mother figures in your life, you’re in luck! The diversity of businesses in Wooster, Ohio, means that you have an endless combination of both traditional and unique ways to show Mom how much you care.

The Plant Mom

Flowers are a classic Mother’s Day gift, and for good reason–an artful floral arrangement is visually stunning, fragrant, and symbolic. Wow your Mom with one of Com-Patt-Ibles Flowers & Gifts’ beautiful Mother’s Day bouquets. You can make your arrangement extra special by opting for the custom design option. Com-Patt-ibles arrangements are available for delivery to several zip codes near Wooster. And if your Mom has a green thumb, consider getting her a plant or two from Wooster Floral–they even offer weekly, biweekly, monthly, and quarterly subscription options for a gift that keeps on giving.

The Cool Mom

If your Mom isn’t like other Moms, her gift shouldn’t be like other gifts. For a cool Mom, we recommend heading over to Blackbird Records and picking up a new turntable or a few of her favorite albums on vinyl–it just sounds better than streaming! Another equally cool option is a gift card to Embellish Tattoo Company –Mom can select a custom gift that she’ll always keep with her.

The Healthy Mom

Wooster offers a number of fantastic options for health-conscious Moms. Local Roots is a great place to start. You can put together a gift basket of locally made, artisan goods, as well as healthy teas, specialty foods, and bath and body products. For a Mom who’s more into experience gifts, a gift card to The Salt & Serenity Grotto gives her the opportunity to relax in a salt bed, detox in a salt cave, or get a deep tissue massage, while a gift card to Flex Yoga provides her access to not only yoga classes, but also barre, aerial, pilates, and strength training. 

The Exhausted Mom

Do you know a Mom who could really use a good night’s sleep? Give her a gift she desperately needs but probably won’t ask for: a night or two to herself at the St. Paul Hotel. She can order complimentary room service, take advantage of their fitness room, and get some R & R. To make her stay extra special, send her some cookies or chocolate covered strawberries. She’ll come back feeling refreshed and loved.

Whatever your Mom’s interests and passions, shopping at Wooster's local businesses ensures that you’ll find a perfect, thoughtful gift. And if you’re truly stumped, our Downtown Dollars gift card is good at 26 local businesses, so she can find the gift that suits her best. There’s no way to go wrong when you shop small.
