Dessert Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner! May 10th is fast approaching and I have put together a short list for you if you would like to give mama a little sweet treat and bring a smile to her face 🙂

Grounds For Coffee

Did you know in additional to Mother’s Day, May is National Strawberry Month AND the month of 27th birthday of Grounds For Coffee! Can you believe it? As one of the best cinnamon buns I had in town, Grounds For Coffee is celebrating this special month by topping each of their OG cinnamon bun with fresh strawberries 😀 ($4.25 + tax)
