Mother’s Day is coming up quickly, and frenzied sons and daughters that haven’t found the gift that speaks to them about their moms are frantically scrambling for a last-minute gift that will tell her just how much she means to them. San Antonio has a wealth of one-of-a-kind shopping choices, and there are three unique gift shops where one can find many an authentic, handmade, or tailor-made gift item that your mom will treasure.

1. Bless Your Heart

Bless Your Heart is located in Bracken Village in San Antonio and is a veritable treasure trove of the fanciful and madcap. From boots to boutique-cute, they have it all. A great place to pick up those little things that Mom might neglect getting for herself, or to add to a collection she may be working on, they also feature many a Texas Hill Country and/or Texas-related gift item. They also carry custom-order necklaces featuring her initials if you prefer.

Wonderful Sunset Ridge Home & Hardware is a place where you can get mom a bracelet and grab your WD-40 while you’re at it. And don’t mistake this concept for meaning that last-minute, nor the mixture of items you’ll find here, means that you think any less of your mother. It simply means you’re a creative thinker, as much as this store is a phenomenally creative gift gold mine. If Mom is into home décor, cookbooks, table settings, party mixes, and so much more, chances are good you’ll find it here!

3. Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages offers an extensive variety of jewelry, accessories, art, home décor items, and kitchenware, all fair-trade and handmade by artists from around the world. Diverse and unique, each one of them was significant to the maker and can be equally as significant to your mom. A purchase of a gift item here also helps to sustain an artist in another country, which may be important and most appreciated if your mom supports that concept.
