Local Business Love for Mother's Day

Sure there are lots of big name, big brand, big commercial options when it comes to Mother's Day gifts.

But Wayland is prepared to be a local destination for gifts that will mean just as much, but will support your local businesses at the same time. Below are some ideas for shopping locally as you look for that last-minute Mother's Day gift.

The Wayland Depot features a wide array of locally made products and the sale of those products goes right back to local projects. Greeting cards, pocketbooks, jewelry, placemats, pottery and more would make excellent, locally conscious gifts for Mom. Currently, the depot also has hand-painted silk scarves created by Terry Kessel Myers of Stow.

This local flower shop is splashed with colorful options for Mom this Mother's Day. The Mother's Day section of the website features flower ideas at price points from $32 up to more than $200. Heather's Florist offers Mother's Day delivery throughout Wayland and, just in case your Mom doesn't live in Wayland, Heather's can also accommodate Mother's Day delivery anywhere in the country.

If gardening is more your mom's speed than cut flowers, a Saturday event at Russell's Garden Center could be just the thing. Rose expert Kevin Marshall will be at Russell’s from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday to help customers choose the right roses for their garden. Stop by, learn about the different types of roses and the care they require, and pick up a new addition for Mom's garden.

Most moms could use a little pampering, peace and quiet. Moodz is offering a variety of Mom-focused pampering packages that include everything from massages to body wraps to pedicures. They even have packages specifically designed for mothers-to-be and new moms.
