Friendly reminder — Mother’s Day is this Sunday + if you’ve got someone you’re shopping for, but haven’t done the shopping yet, you’ve got 4 days. But, we know shopping for the right thing can be stressful, so we’ve put together 8 local gift + experience ideas to hopefully make the process easier.
For the one who values experiences
There’s no better gift than spending quality time + the South Carolina State Museum is making that easy with free general admission for moms on Sunday from 12-5 p.m.
For the one who deserves a rest
Let her relax in bed on Sunday morning with a breakfast-in-bed box from Blue Flour Bakery. Don’t wait on this one — orders are due today.
For the plant lover
If she raised you, she can definitely keep a plant alive. Steel Garden is hosting 2 pop-up events to find the perfect plant before Sunday. More details here.

For the one who enjoys a proper tea
Pinkies up — femme x COLUMBIA is hosting afternoon tea on Sunday from 3-5 p.m. Tickets to the event are $20 and can be purchased here.
For the artsy one
Schedule a Mother’s Day painting class (3 options available) at Studio Cellar for some quality time + fun, take-home pieces.
For the one who’s really into home decor
Locally owned Farmhouse 221 has a large variety of gift-worthy, vintage-inspired pieces + is worth the trek to Chapin.

For the one who’s always jamming
Check out Cola Concert’s spring + summer lineup at the Columbia Speedway Entertainment Center for an outdoor, socially distanced experience.
For the one with a caffeine addiction
Pick up a bag of locally roasted coffee from Indah or Loveland to keep her fueled all week long.
