All local. All Minnesota. All worth it.
8 Minnesota Brands Worth Shopping This Mother's Day
FAN GIRL CLOTHING 💜
A Game Day Look She'll Actually Wear
Because moms deserve to look cute at the tailgate too. Whether she's a die-hard fan or just there for the vibes, Fan Girl's trendy game day pieces were made for her. Think elevated, not costume. From perfectly cropped sweatshirts to effortless tees, these are pieces she’ll reach for long after kickoff. Maybe she needs a fresh Vikings sweatshirt because football season is going to come quicker than we think — or a soft, lived-in tee from her alma mater she’ll wear on repeat. And don’t forget the Game Day Stitch Crew, a go-with-everything staple she can throw on for literally any game day, no matter who she’s cheering for. Gift a look that that never goes out of style.
FRGMNT COFFEE ☕️
A Morning That Feels Like a Reward
FRGMNT is a multi-roaster café born out of a love of coffee and the joy of bringing people together — which sounds exactly like a good mom. Grab her a gift card so she can treat herself to an unhurried morning, a perfect latte, and a moment that's just hers. While she’s there, she can pick up a bag of beautifully sourced beans, a sleek mug, or even a pour-over setup to recreate that café magic at home. Multiple Twin Cities locations including a new location in Eden Prairie (you can often find the Fan Girl team working hard and sipping coffee here 😉).
LEELA & LAVENDER 👗
Something She'd Never Buy Herself
A women's boutique dedicated to helping women discover their best selves — which, honestly, is peak Mother's Day energy. Leela & Lavender is stocked with denim, dresses, shoes, and jewelry at a range of price points. Think flowy spring dresses, everyday gold hoops, cozy-chic knits, and that perfect pair of jeans she didn’t know she needed. The kind of place where you walk in for one thing and leave with an entire mood. They even have a whole Mother's Day gift section where you can find the perfect piece for MOM!

LARISSA LODEN ✨
Jewelry With a Little Attitude
