Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10. In light of altered business operations due to the coronavirus pandemic, some Southwest Austin businesses have moved Mother’s Day events and gift ordering online. Others, however, have reopened following executive orders by Gov. Greg Abbott and are open to a limited number of guests.

Here is a noncomprehensive collection of Southwest Austin florists, gift shops, brunch spots and events for mom’s big day this year.
