Jasmine Jo Coffee & Rowan Tree Flowers

Why make it complicated? If Mom likes flowers, you should start your search at Rowan Tree, where the floral arrangements greet you with pleasant aromas right when you walk in. But, wait — do you smell something else? That’s right! Rowan Tree is the flower side, but this establishment is also home to Jasmine Jo, a coffee shop that serves delicious lattes and locally baked pastries. If you’re bringing your mother a bouquet and coffee, what more can she really ask for, right? If you want to wow her further, you could even get her a flower arrangement class in the very same space!
Curious Nature
5032 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012
If you can describe your mom as a bit “off beat,” she might be a fan of a place like Curious Nature. Here, you can find awesome taxidermied animals, as well as decorations like skulls, ostrich eggs, all ethically sourced. This fine science and natural history emporium also boasts books, minerals and gemstones, and incense. Mothers often understand and respect nature better than anyone — so isn’t Curious Nature the perfect place to find a Mother’s Day gift? We think so!
MADE Art Boutique
922 N 5th St, Phoenix, AZ 85004
If locally made gifts sound like something your mom would love, look no further than MADE. MADE Art Boutique is a shop where artists specializing in handmade wares, ceramics, and jewelry all sell their goods. Even the greeting cards in this shop are designed by artists, and they’ll go perfect with your gift, whether you’re grabbing Mom a new drink mixer, some candles, a necklace, or some ridiculously cool stickers. There are even quite a few eye-catching T-shirts to choose from, many of which sport the beauty and mystery of the Sonoran desert. So, no matter where Mom lives, she can have a reminder of you every time she sees Phoenix landscapes on her shirt!
