Alongside our Mini Cadbury’s and pastel Peeps, here are some items we’d be tickled to find inside an Easter basket. (And it’s not like Mister Bunny worries about shipping, but small shops really know how to hop-to when it comes to speedy delivery.)

Here’s a stylish store that always has something for everyone, but for Mom in particular. Whether it’s a cute doormat or Voluspa candle, a new set of polka-dot dishes or a topiary fit for her garden window, Artichokes foots the Mom-shopping bill.

Though gift shopping here is already a no-brainer, we think you’ll be especially tickled with these already-prepped, uber-stylish gift crates. Mom will be tickled, too.

Here are three of Artichokes’ favorite gift bundles, ready and waiting for your Mommy Dearest.

1. Angelina Soho Crate: “A crate of stylish sweets and treats for the sophisticated woman, including a playful gathering of sugar confections, chocolate, and brownies to pair with a salad topped with pomegranate champagne vinegar. Plus, served “a la mode,” a couture candle and fresh grass.” $75 small; $115 large

2. Lucy Buttons: “Tiny little buttons of Ranunculus clustered together for a mounded shape of fresh color! This one gives a beautiful and lovely touch, with meaning.” $85

3. Organic Citrus Spa Crate: “Let her gather her senses with a citrus bath soak or organic citrus and vanilla bean. Scrub away the toxins, moisturize and exfoliate for a peaceful retreat. This pampers her completely!” $65 small; $115 large

We can’t count all the ways we love Frosty Darling. This truly unique boutique on 300 South has an impressive variety of goodies on-hand (and we’re not just talking about the old timey candies). Owner Gentry Blackburn’s visual merchandising rivals that of retail stores with vast budgets for those types of things, and she has a knack for bringing together products that are fresh, hip, original, and undeniably cute.

Here are just three of her Mom’s Day picks, all available at her store, Frosty Darling, which we have a huge crush on in case you couldn’t tell. There’s no other place quite like it.

1. Goodness Bars from the Bubble Roome: “The best-smelling soap with the cutest packaging, and just six dollars. The best thing to come out of Brooklyn since Tony Danza!” $6

2. Necklace Charms By Erin Ruy: “These lovely charms, chains and bobbles are great for mixing and matching so you get to give them your own creative spin. Plus, they’re sentimental and meaningful. Perfect for Mom.” Charms, $20-$24; pearl chain, $25

3. Handmade Photo Albums by Vinylicious: “These handmade vinyl photobooks are made by local Kanani Hayes and are so cute for holding family memorabilia. Hayes also makes colorful notebooks, bibs, cosmetic bags and wallets available at Frosty Darling.” $22
