Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 11 this year, and there’s no better place to celebrate the moms, grandmothers, and mother figures in our lives than right here in Savannah. Whether you’re planning a full itinerary or simply want to treat her to something beautiful, the city’s local gems offer memorable experiences and thoughtful gifts—all from Savannah-based businesses that make our community shine.
Begin the day at Café M, a Parisian-style café nestled on East Bay Street. This charming spot is ideal for a relaxed morning brunch with flaky croissants, quiche, and signature baguette sandwiches. A customer favorite—the “Normandy”—features creamy brie, sliced pear, walnuts, ham, and crisp spring mix on a fresh baguette. Sip on a pecan praline latte as you soak in the European ambiance with cozy, marble-topped tables and warm service that makes you feel like family. If the weather is just right, grab a spot on the patio and enjoy a quiet moment with Mom as the city wakes up.
After brunch, wander down to Nourish on West Broughton Street. Known for their handmade bath and body products crafted right here in Savannah, Nourish offers gifts that turn everyday routines into spa-worthy rituals. Their Pamper Mom Gift Box is the perfect gesture: it includes natural soaps, scrubs, bath salts, a soy candle, and a shower steamer—all made with clean, feel-good ingredients. Whether she unwinds that evening with a long soak or savors the treats throughout the week, it’s a gift that keeps giving.
For a shopping experience filled with charm and style, head to Delaney Rose Boutique. Tucked away on Bull Street, this carefully curated shop offers beautiful women’s clothing and accessories that match every mom’s personality—whether she’s into classic elegance or bold statement pieces. The friendly team is always ready to help you find something personal, making it easy to pick out a blouse she’ll wear all season or the earrings she didn’t know she needed.
If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable gift, 13 Secrets Jewelry Gallery at Plant Riverside is where you’ll find it. This gallery-style jewelry shop showcases stunning, contemporary pieces from independent designers around the world. Each piece tells a story—and every mom deserves a piece as unique as she is. For something locally made and brilliantly designed, stop by Gillian Trask Jewelry, where wearable art meets emotion. Gillian’s handcrafted pieces are bold, elegant, and deeply personal—ideal for celebrating strength, love, and femininity.
Before the day ends, make one last thoughtful stop at Satchel. This locally loved leather goods studio and shop blends fashion and function with timeless appeal. You can choose from ready-made handbags and accessories or have something custom designed—an extra special way to honor a mom who’s one of a kind. Satchel’s team of artisans takes immense pride in their work, and it shows in every stitch.
