Preparing for Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner! 1) Did you get a gift? 2) Do you have a plan?

If you answered no to either of those questions, you’re cutting it pretty close. Luckily for you, we’re here to help. Here are our top five gifts and top five places to go in San Antonio for Mother’s Day:

Gifts –

1. At-home gel manicure set – Our moms in the office said this was the ticket. Let mom pamper herself without even having to visit the salon!

2. Jewelry – Always a classic. And now with shops like Etsy, you can get quality handmade products that aren’t your run-of-the-mill diamond tennis bracelet. Get her something that means something.

3. Electric toothbrush – You knew we couldn’t put together a list without including this, right?

4. A clean house – Whether you pay someone to do it, or you assign chores for the whole family, mom will 

appreciate a home that is spic-and-span. (Bonus points if you can actually keep it this way for a week!)

5. Edible arrangement – This is a treat the whole family can enjoy. Why get a bouquet of flowers that will die in a few days, when you can get fresh fruit in a variety of shapes and sizes!

Places –

1. Bliss – Located in the up-and-coming Southtown neighborhood, Bliss’ all-American contempory cuisine is sure to delight!

 2. Il Sogno Osteria – If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out the newly-renovated Pearl Brewery, now is the time. Il Sogno offers traditional Italian cuisine that will make her say, “brava!”

3. La Fogata – Home of the most beautiful margaritas in San Antonio, La Fogata’s south-of-the-border atmosphere would be the perfect backdrop for a Mexican Mother’s Day lunch.

4. Silo Elevated Cuisine – If you want to try a place on the Northside, give Silo a try! They offer traditional American dining in the sky.  

5. Wildfish Seafood Grille – The ultimate is luxury seafood, Wildfish’s fresh flavors and cool setting will put mom in the perfect mood for Mother’s Day
