Take her out to Brunch

If you're looking for something that's later in the day, visit The Wine Cafe on May 9th for Petals & Prosecco, a Mother's Day Happy Hour. From 5 PM to 8 PM, shop from local vendors, drink sparking wine & craft mocktails, and enter hourly giveaways, all while a DJ spins some laid-back tunes.
Shop ‘til you Drop
It’s hard to say no to some retail therapy. Treat your mom to a shopping trip on Main Street St. Charles and the Streets of St. Charles. She’ll love browsing through trendy boutiques, trying on cute jewelry, and finding the perfect décor for her home all in one place. And, for the plant moms out there, don’t forget to stop by St. Charles plant shops and greenhouses to pick out a new addition to the collection!
