From mothers to wives to grandmothers and everything in between, it’s a day to celebrate the mother figures that have made an impact on your life. If you are looking for special ways to celebrate her special day, The Shops At Hilltop is here to help. Here are five ways to mark the day, but be sure get some flowers, too.  After all, she is your mother!

1. TREAT HER TO GOOD EATS.  

Mother’s meal should be nothing less than scrumptious. Cobalt Grille, in Hilltop North, is serving up some of her favorite seafood dishes like She-Crab Soup, Crabcakes and Salmon Filets, as well as some really unique treats like Maple Leaf Duck Breast and Paella. Call (757) 333-3334 by no later than 7 p.m. Friday, May 8, and dinner will be ready for curbside pickup once you pick your time.

Maybe you’re doing brunch and looking for lighter fare? Saladworks, in Hilltop West, has made things easy with their Good to Go Meal Deals. From the Family Four Pack which includes (4) salads, (4) small soups and (4) desserts for $40 to the smaller Meal Time Pack which includes (2) salads, (2) small soups and (2) desserts for $22, order online at www.Saladworks.com and pickup when you’re heading to mom’s.

2. DO THE COOKING! 

 If you’d rather treat Mom to one of your favorite dishes at home, start with the freshest ingredients. Family-owned and operated for more than 25 years, The Village Butcher offers high-quality cuts of beef including steaks, prime rib, roasts and Kobe. Their Beef is either USDA Prime, 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, or USDA Choice, grass-fed, and always 100% all-natural.

3. PAMPER HER WITH SOMETHING SWEET.  

It’s strawberry season in Virginia Beach, and NOTHING beats fresh berries hand-dipped in chocolate by Forbes Candies! These fabulous treats are hand-dipped to order by this local chocolatier so they are juicy, fresh and delicious. Simply pre-order your berries by Friday, May 8, and pick-up your tasty treat curbside or have them delivered. Call Forbes Candies in Hilltop East at (757) 965-9295.
