Want to make mom feel extra special this Mother's Day? Here are seven ways to make mom feel special in Downtown-South Kansas City this Mother's Day:  

1. Make a card

A special homemade card is something she'll cherish forever. Just ask any mom you know if you need proof!

2. Get her a special gift

Searching for that special gift? Get her a great gift and support a locally-owned Downtown-South Kansas City business all at the same time! Here are some of our favorites:
