  1. If you haven't gotten a Mother's Day gift yet, you may want to do it soon! Several local businesses in town offer "lavish hotel parties to take-home gifts, to more low-key opportunities to celebrate with kids or on a budget." No matter how you plan to celebrate your mom, just be sure to "make your reservations ASAP," but if you wait until the last minute, don't worry. Remember there are many places in town where you can get her some flowers and a card, or you can even make "some homemade special treats" for her to enjoy on Mother's Day!

  • "Treat mom to a truly 'zoo-nique' Mother's Day experience at the San Antonio Zoo on Sunday, May 8! Lounge and celebrate at the beautiful outdoor Fiesta Terrace for a unique alfresco experience with mom-centric options like sandwiches, assorted pastries, desserts, a charcuterie display, and refreshing beverage options. Each adult, ages 21 years or older, will receive two (2) complimentary mimosas (non-alcoholic option available) to toast to the moms who bring the whole herd together. Celebrate mom in a wild way and reserve your spot today at sazoo.org." (Instagram)
