The Original Ninfa’s is the perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day — after all, who better to honor moms than Mama Ninfa herself? Moms will be welcomed with a 2-piece Truffle Box from Mostly Chocolate and can toast with a $12 Mimosa Flight during Sunday Brunch, featuring Classic Orange, Prickly Pear, and Agua Fresca mimosas. Because if there’s one thing better than one mimosa on Mother's Day... it’s three.

Known for their vibrant bags, Consuela opened their first Houston-area store in Katy this March — just in time for Mother’s Day. The name Consuela is derived from the verb ‘consolar’, meaning to console, comfort and uplift. Where better to shop for the inspiring mom in your life? Consuela offers colorful totes, crossbodys, clutches, and travel accessories, all crafted with natural leather that ages beautifully. Thoughtful details like handwoven straps, built-in card holders, and multiple compartments make each piece as functional as it is joyful.
