Oh, it's Fashion Friday here on what's New? And in case you forgot, Mother's Day is on Sunday. Now, there's tons of fashionable mamas out there, and if you still need to get her a gift or any other special lady in your life, well, don't fret.
Yeah. Hallie Abrams is the wardrobe consultant. She's gonna show us now where we can shop locally to find the perfect gift before time runs out.
I've got you covered. I went all around Cleveland and found some great gifts that mom is gonna love. Things that you can get both east west side in a timely manner. Little different this time. I'm having you guys join me. Instead of bringing it here, I'm having you come along, and we're gonna go shopping together in the stores and find some great Mother's Day gifts. Okay, so the first stop on the I'm looking for a Mother's Day gift tour is Knuth. So Knuth has an east side location in Pepper pike and a west side location in Westlake. When I think about what to get moms for Mother's Day, I think about something that she's gonna like and use and maybe that you already know she has, but she could never. What comes to mind is a jean jacket, everyone. Everything is better with a jean jacket. And this jean jacket is amazing. It's new. I've never seen anything like this before. It looks like a great jean jacket, but it feels like a shirt. So if you get hot or cold, it's super easy. It's not stiff like most jean jackets. The blue is 89, and the white is 98. So that is a great, great thing. And they're stocked in those in both stores. Okay. The next thing that all moms use and can have enough of is a great bag. So I love, for summer, adding in a bag that's either a fabric or a raffia, because it really feels like it's great for spring and summer and this year, especially adding in something that has a little color. You can use it as a beach bag. You could use it as a diaper bag. And this one is $144. I found this one, which is also equally fabulous, and I think it is $48. It's so cute. Also, if you're not into the bright colors, it comes in more neutral shades. But I think this looks fabulous. Blossom Cleveland has an east side location in Shaker, a west side location in Lakewood, and you know what? They have a flower bar you can come in. This is your shopping cart. Pick Whatever flowers you want, they will help make it into a beautiful arrangement. And you can buy a vase if you want, or you can just give it to your mom. Rap. It is so much better than grocery store flowers, I cannot even tell you. Okay, my next stop on the magical, mystical Mother's Day gift tour is Hedges in Chagrin falls for entertaining moms. And especially because I think we're all going to be spending a lot of time still at home entertaining outdoors. The idea of doing a board is so cool. This is a medium size. I think there's a larger size as well. This one's $94. And how fun is it with the bee that's in there? And then if you want to get this cool book that shows her how to put the boards, plates, and platters together. So I think moms would love this. This is another really cool gift that LA does a lot of different hand creams and bath soaps and whatnot. And this one smells delicious. But on top of it, look at how beautiful the box is. So I don't know. I don't always like wrapping things, so this is a perfect thing. It is already pre wrapped, ready to go, and your mom is gonna love it. Thanks so much.
That's a bonus for me. I'm not a big rapper.
No wrapping.
As you might imagine, that's where gift.
Bags come in handy.
You're right. Those are great ideas. And I think Hallie's and I like the fact that she did east side and west side. There's gotta be one of those locations near most of our viewers. And if you're still looking for that perfect gift item, one of those might be it. Bets.
That's right. And a lot of moms. Matter of fact, 40% of moms, according to retailmenot, they just want a nice dinner that works and not to do the dishes.
What did you say yesterday? Forget the flowers. Just give me a nap.
Give me a nap. And Sunday looks like it's gonna be a great day for napping, so it might be a really good opportunity for everybody. Just remember, Covid, quarantine is still going on. And I guarantee you that the reservations at your favorite restaurant that has a patio are probably already booked, so you may want to look elsewhere. I bought a big old prime rib for my mom.
Oh, nice.
Coming over? Yep. Went and picked it up this morning. So that's like the big treat. It's a big treat for me too.
Well, we made plans for two places. One outdoors, one indoors. We've already canceled the outdoor plans.
Rolling with Jay Crawford?
Well, I mean, we were going to. It was going to be one or the other.
Right.
And the outdoor just clearly isn't going to happen because I do trust in your forecast.
Somebody else might be able to pick that reservation up now.
