An Absolute Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Mother’s Day is just around the corner on May 12, and it’s the perfect time to show the special women in your life how much you appreciate them. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, grandmother or any maternal figure, many local shops offer unique and thoughtful gifts. From jewelry and fashion to home décor and sweet treats, we’ve been busy scouring town for the perfect presents.
At Linden Tree Gifts (lindentreegifts.com) in downtown Noblesville and Carmel City Center, you’ll discover ideas for every taste, and the knowledgeable staff is always ready with suggestions. “Our customers love to shop at Linden Tree because of our great collection of gift ideas, from candles, jewelry and clothing to Nora Fleming and Happy Everything," says owner Rori Anderson. She adds that they are happy to gift wrap purchases so they are ready to present. Around the corner in a new, larger location, Out of the Blue Polish Pottery (outofthebluepottery.com) showcases a staggering selection of hand-painted stoneware from Boleslawiec, Poland, perfect for all occasions. Owner Ruthanne Burgard recommends the bakeware, available in numerous shapes and sizes, that are not only beautiful but are also oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. She adds that teapots and coffee mugs are always a popular choice for Mother’s Day.
At Purse Strings (purse-strings.shop) in Clay Terrace, you’ll find so much more than handbags, says owner Paul Braun, noting the store's selection of home décor, jewelry and accessories. For Mother’s Day, he suggests enewton bracelets—made by a mom and perfect for moms. The store will host an enewton trunk show event April 18-20 where you can receive a free gift with purchase.

The Shoppes at 56th and Illinois cater to every mom. Sophisticated fashion for stylish moms stands out at The Secret Ingredient (thesecretingredient.us), where owner Pamela Ellis is on a mission to make women feel good at every stage of life. Bold, bright colors are making a statement this season, and summer-ready looks will be on display at their upcoming anniversary event in May. Fine jewelry is a timeless sentiment, and you’ll find the best selection at Petite G Jewelers (petiteg.com), offering trending must-haves, exclusive designers and classic pieces that will make any mother feel cherished. For a beautiful way to symbolize your never-ending love, book a non-stop bracelet appointment for you and Mom. Next door at Charles Mayer & Co. (shop.charlesmayer.com) you’ll find an exquisite selection of tabletop pieces and heirloom gifts. A handcrafted William Yeoward crystal vase or rose bowl makes a stunning accompaniment to a Mother’s Day bouquet and lasts long after the flowers have faded. Mother’s Day is all fun and games here, too, with gorgeous mahjong sets and pickleball gear, beautifully wrapped with their complimentary gift wrap service. And don’t miss the Monica Rich pre-Mother’s Day trunk show and Capucine De Wulf jewelry event for a gift that truly sparkles.
