Something Cheesy - For the Mom who’s a foodie, all the cheese she could ever want is here. With an emphasis on healthy products, everything here is non-GMO. There’s more than just cheese, too. Specialty snacks, dips and candies are also available that you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. If Mom lives out of the area and you’re gifting remotely, they have an online store to have your cheesy gift shipped.

Wakefield-Scearce Galleries - This famous antique store will amaze you with the amount of choices available. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect gift for Mom in one room, you’ll find something just as jaw-dropping when you round the next corner. For those who covet treasured, historic gifts, this is as good of a place to shop as it gets.
WHERE TO GET MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS
Pathelen Flower & Gift Shop - Mother’s Day isn’t complete without flowers and Pathelen is a well-known destination to get flowers, but especially roses. You can find beautiful selections here and expect five-star treatment along the way thanks to their quality reviews.

DESTINATIONS TO VISIT ON MOTHER’S DAY
Gallrein Farms - This is a stunning destination on Mother’s Day and makes for a great place to bring the entire family. A spacious greenhouse containing a variety of plants, a petting zoo and restaurant all await visitors. Moms will be thrilled with a surprise visit to this extravagant farm.
Red Fern Riding Center - Mother’s Day on horseback? Who’s going to say no to that? There’s still space to sign up for a ride on the day itself, but if that day doesn’t work for a ride, schedule one for later this summer instead!
Jeptha Creed - ShelbyKY is Your Bourbon Destination® after all, so why not head to a distillery? Especially when it’s a mother-daughter owned business where Mother’s Day is especially meaningful. Joyce and Autumn Nethery have pulled out all the stops over the years to make this a tremendous spot, and their staff will go the extra mile to ensure Mom has an excellent time here.
