As many retail businesses have been closed due to COVID-19, Mother's Day may look a little different this year.
We found some local businesses are getting creative in order to deliver gifts, even if they remain closed.
Hazel + Dot- Tampa
Hazel + Dot is a local gift boutique. Owner Allison Bernardi says everything in her store is made by local companies and companies run by women. Right now, her shop is open by appointment only. But, that's not stopping anyone from getting a local made gift for mom. She's putting items up on Instagram and selling them that way.
"We have jewelry geared toward moms, pillows, anything that can make her feel pampered and better about being home," says Bernardi.
She's also partnering with some local vendors to give back to the community.
Mark the Balloon Guy- Clearwater
Forget your typical balloon assortment, Mark can make just about anything you can think of.
"For the last 35 years, I've been blowing up balloons by mouth. Now, I can't do that," says Mark Byrne. So he's safely creating balloon art and delivering them, contactless, to homes throughout Pinellas County. He can do just about anything, from flower bouquets to driveway arches. You name it and he is most likely to make it happen. You can give him a call or text at 727-742-6713.
