Picking out the perfect Mother’s Day present can be daunting. It’s not easy to find a gift that’s meaningful without being cheesy. To soothe your anxiety, South’s got the exclusive guide for a perfect Mother’s Day in Savannah.

SHOP

Whether you want to take mom out for a shopping spree or need a one-of-a-kind store for a great presents, we suggest Sylvester and Co. New to Savannah, this sleek, contemporary boutique has a seasonally changing selection. They’ve sell a variety of items, everything from furniture to accessories. If you’re looking for trendy clothes or cute shoes, try Gaucho, Polka Dots, or Globe. Fab’rik is having a special occasion just for mothers! All inventory is 30% off from May 5th to May 8th. They are serving refreshments, treats and even have door prizes to celebrate your mother!

And don’t forget about River Street Sweets; Mother’s Day just doesn’t seem complete unless there’s chocolates.

EAT

For the perfect Sunday brunch downtown try Belfords or Brasserie. For amazing seafood, in particular crab cakes, make a reservation for Belfords; they’ve got a great white chocolate cheesecake too. And if you’re into French cuisine, Brasserie is the a great contemporary restaurant serving local foods. But if you’re out by Sandfly, make a date with mom at Swank Bistro.

PLAY.

If you have more of a musical mother, bring her to the Westin for Mother’s Day Jazz Brunch on May 8th. For a relaxing double date with mom at the spa, book a facial at Spa Bleu. We hear the Savannah Honey Bee facial leaves your skin glowing. Or book a massage at Posidon Spa (at the Mansion on Forsyth).
