    What do moms want for Mother’s Day, other than a sweet card? A bouquet of flowers is always special. A day of pampering is a sure-fire hit. And she’ll love a delicious, decadent meal. Dote on your mom this Mother’s Day with these gift ideas from your friends at Dave Perry-Miller & Associates.

    Gifts that show your ever-blooming love
    Flowers are always in season, and on Mother’s Day, you can expect florists to have gorgeous bouquets with the most colorful blooms around. Dallas favorite Dr. Delphinium has an extraordinary Mother’s Day collection, from tulips and roses in classic arrangements to gift boxes with flowers, wine and chocolates.

    Gifts that support an important cause
    St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange, located in Highland Park Village, is a unique retailer. The store features gorgeous gifts and stationery for all occasions, from luxurious bath products to an extensive offering of the Michael Aram collection. What’s special about the Exchange is that all of the profits go directly to charitable agencies in Dallas and worldwide. The shop also offers beautiful gift wrapping and shipping services.

    Gifts that complement her good taste
    Dining out is always a pleasure, and Dallas has a restaurant for every mom’s culinary request. Here are several places we recommend:

    • Hibiscus is a modern chophouse known for its wood-cooking technique. Here you’ll find steaks, seafood, and an impressive list of wines and cocktails.
    • Bread Winners Cafe and Bakery offers home-cooked fare and an amazing brunch menu. However it’s the bakery that launched its reputation. The pastries, desserts and bread are, in a word, divine.
    • Parigi is an eclectic neighborhood bistro that makes you feel like you’re in New York or Paris. Parigi features an ever-changing, diverse menu — and you can be sure that every dish is prepared to perfection.

    Gifts that make her take a deep breath
    Facial, manicure, body wrap, scalp massage. Sounds like the best day ever! Treat your mom to some downtime with spa and salon treatments from the Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dallas. From lavender mineral baths to hot stone massage, this retreat has a long list of special offerings to help promote relaxation from head to toe.

    What are your plans for spoiling Mom this Mother’s Day? Share your ideas in the space below.
