How to Make Mom Feel Special This Mother’s Day

Mom deserves to be spoiled every day, but especially on Mother's Day. Make the entire celebration as special as she is by starting with a flower delivery from one of the North Shore's best florists before sending mom to the spa for some much-deserved pampering. Then end the day with the perfect gift, which you found at one of the area's most unique shops. Read on for a few of our Mother's Day offerings and click here for the full list. 

Surprise Her With Flowers

You can never go wrong with a classic, so start this Mother's Day by surprising mom with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. At Morning Glory Flower Shop (1822 Glenview Road, Glenview), a 2018 North Shore Choice Awards winner, you'll find a variety of beautiful arrangements, like For Mom with pink roses and white stock or the seasonal Totally Tulips with 40 stems of brightly colored Dutch tulips. Or check out Saville Flowers & Gifts (1712 Sherman Ave., Evanston). Established in 1942, this family-owned business offers arrangements like Delicate Pink Elegance featuring light pink roses and Time for Tea with a tea cup vase, and you can add on a gift of chocolates or a Voluspa candle to accompany the bouquet you choose.

The Flower Shop in Glencoe (693 Vernon Ave., Glencoe) is another great option for your Mother's Day flowers. Find examples of what this local shop can do on Facebook and Instagram before calling or visiting to get started on your custom arrangement. And in Winnetka, Edward's Florist (917 Willow Road, Winnetka) has been a staple for more than 100 years. Stop by to shop a variety of gifts and home decor to accompany an arrangement of your mom's favorite flowers or a plant from the greenhouse.
