A guide to Milwaukee-made Mother's Day gifts

Mother's Day is this Sunday and even in distance mothers deserve their love and recognition. If you are anything like me, you probably made it a habit of last-minute purchases, but with many businesses closed, it can be difficult to brainstorm gift ideas. We did the groundwork and compiled our top picks of local goods you can get for Mother's Day.

If you're looking to send a card, check out these local, handmade paper goods. LOCALmke offers curbside pickup on Saturdays as well as shipping. If a customer needs a weekday pickup, LOCALmke can arrange their order at a neighboring business. Message them for your arrangements or shop online.
