#ShopLocal Mother's Day Gift Guide

During this time of uncertainty, one thing we know for sure is that the women business owners who also happen to be cool moms are the cornerstones of our community. Running a business is no small fete, but running a business and caring for a family instantly elevates these women to superhero status. THANK YOU for all you do!

This year, our gift guide is dedicated to celebrating every type of amazing mom with stylish and local gift picks.

For the beauty fanatic - Alcazar Palace Fragrance from local boutique flora & henri. This travel-inspired scent from flora & henri opens with notes of orange blossoms and white flowers for a clean, crisp scent. “Fragrance should both transport you and bring you home,” says designer Jane Hedreen. “It should remind you of your most exotic travels while being exactly the fragrance of cozying up at home with fresh flowers from your garden.” This citrus scent is inspired by Jane’s travels to The Alcázar of Seville, which is home to more than 14,000 orange trees.
