Shop Local For Mother’s DayBy Vera LuckstedFarmington-MI.Patch.com

Ah, Mother’s Day. The day you give back to the woman who has given you so much. If you’re interested in shopping local, we’ve put together a short list of unique gift items available from businesses in Farmington and Farmington Hills.

Because each gift is local, you’ll be putting your hard-earned money right back into the community. From the traditional to the exceptional, we have something for your mother (or your wife!) to make shopping that much easier.

Bonnie’s Hallmark has the Mother’s Day cards you need, and they may have the perfect gift. How about a Vera Bradley tote or bag? They come in many colors and patterns; there is truly something for every style and budget!

John Cowley and Sons offers wine tasting with Mike Larranaga on May 18 at 7 p.m. Not your typical evening out, this event allows you to sip patio friendly wines at a favorite Farmington restaurant.

If your wife needs a break, why not present her with Mother’s Getaway – a lavender body scrub followed by a moisturizing massage – from Bellis Spa. Book now and receive a gift card and mug with purchase, while supplies last.
