That first Mother’s Day gift for a new mom is a big one. With all the hard work she puts in, she’ll really appreciate any present that tells her you recognize and appreciate her. But you’re not in this alone: I scoured the internet and found some really awesome local shops with gift ideas your lady will love. And right now all small businesses need our support more than ever! #SHOPSMALL

ART OF SUCRE

In the mists of planning her wedding in 2016 Emily Harpel was struck with the idea of giving a traditional childhood treat a chic upgrade. Freshly married and with graduate school plans on hold, Art of Sucre was officially born on the drive back from her honeymoon. With one of a kind flavors such as Champagne, Watermelon or Orange bourbon and creative toppings like pop rocks or edible glitter Art of Sucre isn’t the same cotton candy you remember having as a kid.

CLEVELAND STREET GLASS

Deanna Dionne launched Cleveland Street Glass in Spring 2016. She moved to Cleveland in late 2014, when her car was broken into just a week after arriving. But she moved here to focus on her art, and that event stuck in her mind as she experimented with different techniques, and jewelry made from auto glass was born. She is inspired by Cleveland’s pride for not only where it’s going, but where it came from. It is proud of its grit, for grit is what it’s built on. Wearing a piece of jewelry upcycled from a malicious crime truly embodies a comeback spirit. Wear it as an amulet, and as a reminder that beauty is found from the raw and broken. Hang it in your rear-view mirror as a battle trophy.
