Last Minute Gifts for Mothers Day

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

West End Shopping

If you are the guy that still hasn’t bought that present for the special mom in your life let me guide you through a fail safe 20 minute guarantee to make them happy gift idea session.

All you have to do is head downtown to Gloucester’s West End.

Within one block there are 4 shops or more that will cover every gift giving idea and price range you could need.

Harbor Goods, the Life is Good store will be open from 11-6PM today.

At Caffe Sicilia you can pick up Canoli or Tiramisu for a quick visit and cup of coffee at your moms house. Caffe Sicilia is open from 7-1PM today.

A couple of doors down from Cafe Sicilia is the apparel shop First Impressions which has a wide range of designer clothes and handbags for very reasonable prices. Open 10-5:30PM

Across the street from First Impressions The Bookstore of Gloucester will be open from12-5PM. Pick up a book of local color or one of the ones recommended by the Mrs down in the post below.

All within about 30 yards of each other you can get in and out with a perfect gift all in Gloucester’s West End, without having to drive out of town to the malls.

I hope this helps any desperate people looking for gift ideas out there.

The Bookstore Of Gloucester Open 12-5PM Mothers Day
61 Main Street Gloucester

If you need a gift for the literary mom, The Bookstore of Gloucester will fit the bill.

The Mrs recommendations-

For light reading and the “Sex In The City” type mom she recommends any of the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella.

For something with a little more substance she recommends two books from Khaled Hosseini- “A Thousand Splendid Suns” or “The Kiterunner”

For Something with a little local flavor Trevor Corson’s “The Secret Lives of Lobsters”

I don’t read chick books, those recommendations are straight from the Mrs.

Here are a few from local authors-

My Last Romance and Other Passions from Katerine Valentine, also The Old Mermaid’s Tale

Ron Gilson’s An Island No More

Joe Orlando’s The Fisherman’s Son
