Mother’s Day is just around the corner (May 9th to be exact)! Are you still looking for ideas to spoil your mom, grandma, loved one this year? See the list below for what Amanda Howard Sotheby’s International Realty team recommends from local places here in Huntsville, AL!
Here in the Northern Alabama area there are so many unique shops and restaurants to experience – especially in Downtown Huntsville. Out of all the gift recommendations below we are sure to provide one that your mom or grandma will love!
Flowers
Flowers are always a go to choice on Mother’s Day but the longevity of real flowers is only about a week. Instead, make a lasting impression with The Paper Petal Co flowers that will last a lifetime. Located here in Huntsville, Alabama these flowers constructed in paper give any home a spring feel but will never wilt or contain any allergens.
Spa Day
Can you blame your mom for needing a day off to unwind? Book her a day at the spa, right here in Huntsville, at Salt on The Rocks where they offer an array of spa treatments such as massages and salt treatments.
Sweet Treats

There are a lot of great bakeries here in the Northern Alabama region but The Moon Bakeshop seems to be one of the favorites among the locals. Not only do they have delicious cake options but they also offer cupcakes, muffins, pies, cookies, and so much more! Either pick up some goodies for Mother’s Day to celebrate, take her to their shop, or provide a gift card so next time she has a sweet tooth craving she knows exactly where to go!
Coffee
If your mom or grandma loves coffee consider taking her on the Downtown Huntsville Craft Coffee Trail or grabbing her a bag of coffee or gift card from one of the trail locations. Here you will find a ton of options to enjoy specialized coffee and pastries. One of our top choices is Charlie Fosters. Their model of inclusivity for employment opportunities, high end coffee, and unique environment will leave an experience for your mom she will cherish for years to come.
Gifts for the Home
Is your mom always redecorating her home or looking for antique treasures? Find her something from Preservation Company located in Downtown Huntsville or buy her a gift card so she can go on the hunt herself. With plenty of barnwood doors, rustic windows, and antique goods she is sure to find something new to display in her home!
