Our Two Loves—Katie Dauser Ceramics & Succs in the City
Local SF mom Katie Dauser is just the type of local artist we want to support these days. She creates gorgeous ceramics and succulent arrangements that would make the perfect Mother's Day gift. You can find her items for sale at Kilzer Coffee in Pacifica (which is still open for coffee and also functioning as a food bank) and you can make purchases from her Etsy shops. Bonus: shipping is currently free and you can request local pickup from SF by DMing Katie.
To Kick Off the Celebration—The Sip
Ship the celebration right to mom with the oh-so-cute mini champagne bottles from The Sip. This Oakland-based company was created by two moms who have been friends for over 15 years! You can choose a one-time shipment of their special Mother's Day box that comes with two mini bottles and a special "Mom" champagne flute that she can use all year round. Or up the ante and go for the bi-monthly subscription service to say "Thanks, Mom" over and over.
