If Mother’s Day was seriously a singular gift event, you wouldn’t be hyperventilating thinking about Sunday. Truth is, there are a lot of women in your life who you are important to you, and most of them are mothers. And you know if you don’t “surprise” them with a gift, you can pretty much kiss their home-cooked meals sayonara. To help give you some pointers, here are some haute gift ideas from local stores around Dallas for every one of the moms in your life.
Mom
This year, shy away from the box of flowers. The last thing you want to hear about again is that 36-hour labor she endured just to bring your thankless behind into this world.

Luxury on Lovers is offering a day of beautification for Ma, which includes their wildly popular Double Glow Facial, teeth whitening, airbrush tan, a catered lunch, brow wax and lash tint and integrated massage.
