Frugal Family: Local Ideas for Mother's Day

Here are several ideas to consider for Mother's Day, such as places to get locally-grown flowers, places with speciality gifts or just male your mom an herb garden!

1. is having a sale on Primrose (50% off) and Pansy 4-packs (70% off). Most of their primroses are perennial, so at $1.98 per 4" pot, you've got a great investment! 

2. Deal: Free gift of a Murano glass bead with the purchase of two or more beads or charms
Good through: May 8

3. Deal: Purchase a gift certificate for $500 and receive $750; that’s $250 free towards your purchase.
Good through: May 5

 4. Young’s is open for the season with beautiful flowers for mom! But I guess you’d have to be crazy like me to be excited to receive a flat of annuals to plant as a Mother’s Day gift.

 5. Make Mom a fresh herb garden
Have you noticed the herb stand on Peckham Road in Little Compton? Organic herbs for only $1.50 a pot! They are hearty and shockingly large for such a great price. Buy a couple and transplant them into a planter for mom, or just place them into a nice tray/basket for her window sill.

 6. Courtyards is overflowing with a collection of very special gifts that any mom would love. Beautiful jewelry, an incredible selection of newly arrived statuary, and shelves filled with unexpected surprises. No sales tax on anything that is handmade.
