Last Minute Mother’s Day Gifts for Nashville Moms
Surprise! Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10th. Yes, despite the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has suspended many aspects of our lives, time has continued to march on and WOW somehow it is now May? While you may not have enough time to get something shipped, it’s going to be OK. There are plenty of awesome local options to show mom you care and support Nashville’s great small businesses while you’re at it! Read on for a few of our picks for last minute, pandemic-safe Mother’s Day gifts.
Let Her Know She’s Plant-tastic
Looking to level-up from the usual floral arrangement? Beautify mom’s quarantine-quarters and purify her air with a houseplant from a local Nashville plant shop! Browse the online store of East Nashville gem, Flora, (they have some great mother’s day gift selections) and schedule a curbside pick-up or delivery, or grab a face mask and shop in person at the open-air JVI Secret Gardens in Donelson.
Make it extra personal by choosing a plant that reflects her parenting. Did she have a hands-off approach and only remind you to hydrate on rare occasions? Snag her a hardy Snake Plant. Or, maybe you were THE WORST as a child, and you’re only a decent adult because of her unconditional love and meticulous care? Say “it could’ve been worse!” by gifting her the challenge of maintaining a Fiddle Leaf Fig!
Get Her A Jar, A Bottle, Or Canna Calm
Whether your mom is already hip to the magic of CBD or she has yet to dive in, a gift of CBD goodies from our friends at LabCanna will surely be a hit. From teas and tinctures, to lotions and beyond, LabCanna has a sprawling variety of products that all tout a number of reported benefits your mom will love. BONUS: now through Mother’s Day you can score 15% off of your order by using the code “MOTHERS15” at checkout.
Take A Restaurant To Her
Sure, you could always cook a lovely meal for mom and she would probably love it— especially if you clean up after! But if cooking isn’t your thing, or the COVID-19 pandemic is keeping you physically distanced from mom, there are other options for you. Support your favorite local restaurants while spoiling Mom by ordering in a fancy brunch or a decadent dinner.
Several Nashville hotspots are offering special Mother’s Day takeout meal deals, but you can order curbside from a ton of other local restaurants- so get creative! Take mom on a tropical staycation by ordering food and frozen cocktails from Pearl Diver and setting up a picnic in the backyard. Or maybe mom has always wondered what you’re up to at 1am on a Saturday? Forge a deeper connection and give her a tasty peek into your young life by ordering some burgers and animal fries from Dino’s, or a few Margo Price sandwiches from Duke’s. (ProTip: plaster her bathroom with band stickers and heartfelt graffiti to give a more authentic experience!)
Give Her A Relaxing Day On The Water
As we’re in the midst of a global pandemic, it seems unlikely mom will get to skip town and take a true vacation anytime soon. So, bring the vacation to her! Nashville has a lot of great lake and river spots just waiting to be explored. Grab your personal watercraft, or book one of our sanitized, zero-contact, Kurbside Kayak rentals and help mom escape the routine, get a change of scenery, and unplug for a while. Or, give mom an endless (and affordable) “stay-cation” with unlimited kayak rentals all season long by getting her a River Queen Voyages 2020 Season Pass!
