Mother’s Day Gifts in Austin
Finding the right Mother’s Day gift can be tricky, and it doesn’t help when your mom “doesn’t want anything” (even though you know she does 🤨). If this sounds like your mom, here are 5 local Austin gifts that will make even moms who didn’t want anything say “This is exactly what I wanted!”
5 Local Mother’s Day Gifts in Austin
1. A Sage Blossom Massage Gift Certificate
Flower arrangements are still one of the most popular Mother’s Day gifts, but polls continue to show that moms don’t really want flowers. A survey from online marketplace Rakuten found that while over half of families (52% of respondents) think that mom wants flowers for Mother’s Day, mom’s #1 desired gift is actually a spa day (46% of respondents).
There’s a reason spa days are so popular. A spa day is more than a gift to a mom. It’s an experience. And for women, who still overwhelmingly bear the weight of running most households, it’s an escape from responsibility and worries for a few hours. It’s some time set aside, just for her.

2. A Sweet Treat From Haley Cakes & Cookies
Hayley Cakes & Cookies has gone viral for their creative cookie designs, but they also offer cakes, cupcakes, cookie cakes, pies and more. They make themed treats for all major holidays, including Mother’s Day, and can also custom-design the dessert of your dreams.
3. An Antonelli’s Cheese Club Membership
In Austin, Antonelli’s Cheese Shop is the place to go for cheese, and for good reason. Not only do they offer delicious and beautifully prepared cheese and charcuterie boards, they also sell individual meats and cheeses, spreads, pickles, breads, crackers, wine, and tools of the trade – cheese boards and knives.
While any of these things would make an excellent gift, we suggest the Cheese Club Membership. A standard membership gets your mom 3-4 cheeses a month, along with informational videos and notes about each cheese, what to pair with them, and how to eat them. A deluxe membership gives her all this, plus curated pairings.
4. Custom Wine From Water 2 Wine
Water 2 Wine is a rarity – a winery, right here in Austin. At Water 2 Wine, you can enjoy all the typical offerings of a winery – a tasting room complete with a small bites menu, a wine club, live music, and more – without trekking out to the hill country. But the best thing about this urban winery is that you can make your own wine. If your mom is into wine, making things, or interesting experiences, then making, bottling and custom-labeling her own wine might be the gift for her.
5. Some All-natural ‘Potions’ From Folk Potions
Folk Potions sells all-natural and handmade “potions” – oils, soaps, salves, balms and more. Whether your mother prefers soap that looks good enough to eat (but please don’t! 🫢) or a perfume oil that is reminiscent of a “campfire where a beautiful nymph continues to throw rose petals into the flames,” Folk Potions has what you’re looking for.
