They’re not only delivering flowers but they can also deliver plants, terrariums and a huge assortment of gifts that are thoughtfully wrapped.  So in addition to those flowers, you can also get your loved one, jewelry, bubble baths, scented candles and lotions. Sounds like you can set up a little spa at home. It’s such a great Mother’s Day gift!

If you didn’t get to read our post from last night, we talked about what’s going on at retail stores at the West Seattle Junction. This time we’re doing the dining version. If you still haven’t figured out where to take your mom for mother’s day, we have some options for you.

The great thing about this week is that it’s been warm and sunny. What perfect time to get some FREE ice cream sandwiches for the lovely momma’s at Cupcake Royale West Seattle.

If ice cream sandwiches aren’t for you and you would like something warm instead, Hotwire Online Coffeehouse has a special Mother’s Day coffee blend that they are serving now through Sunday. Every mom will also receive a complimentary flower and special coupons on Mother’s Day.

For bruncheroo options, stop by Elliot Bay Brewery if you want your mom to get a lovely single carnation. West 5, on the other hand, is providing a complimentary Momosa when you bring your mom in for brunch.

If you like to get an early start to your day,  La Romanza, will be opening an hour early and will start Mother’s Day brunch at 9:30am. Which is perfect because there are lots going on at the Junction and around West Seattle for Mother’s Day.

For the beer loving momma’s (or the guys who are waiting while the ladies are out and about), you can stop by The Beer Junction for their Trappist beer and cheese tasting event. Alejandro Garcia, from specialty beer importer Merchant Du Vin, will be guiding folks through the history of Trappist beers. The tasting event goes from noon to 2pm.

Lastly, for the lovely people who want to make dinner for their mom’s or for any mom who wants to make an easy healthy dinner. Dream Dinners has a Made for You complimentary service. It’s easy and details are below.

• Go to their website and schedule your session for Wednesday, May 14th at 5:00 PM.
• Use the “made for you” password:  made
• Pick up your dinners between 5 & 6:30 PM.
• Let them know if you need an alternate pick up time.
• Note “Mother”s Day Special”* in the “Special Request” section of your order.

Again, Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mom’s out there!
