Shopping for a Mother's Day gift can be challenging, especially when trying to find a sentimental and useful gift. Whether shopping for a mom, mother-in-law, grandma, or wife, the goal is to make her feel special.
With Mother's Day just days away (it falls on Sunday, May 14!), it's essential to find the perfect gift and have it shipped in time. Lock in "favorite child status" for another year by choosing from one of these top selections for the remarkable mother figure in your life.
We've rounded up some top Houston shops for Mother's Day gifting.

For the Mom whose closet is full of fab fashion and who doesn't need "stuff," we recommend a gift from the Houston SPCA, say, a new kitten with a VIP adoption package. If Mom doesn't need a new fur baby, consider naming in one her honor. And if she has a dear kitty she misses, the SPCA is offering poignant memorial stones.
Name an adorable little kitten after Mom.

Take the stress out of Mother's Day gift shopping with a gift from Rhianna's Savage X Fenty in the Galleria. With new launches across women's lingerie, lounge, sleep, and sport, the boutique has something for every type of mom, including the fuzzy CLF Fluff'd Up Slippers (peep Rihanna wearing them after her Super Bowl LVII halftime show). The slippers are available in four colors, and at under $20, you can snag a pair for yourself.
