Ok, we know you probably celebrate and pamper her every day (as you should), but why not take advantage of this weekend to remind her how much you love her with a special gift? At Local SMA Guide we have come up with different and cool ideas so you can surprise her and become her favorite son or daughter.
Let's toast to her!
Is there a more appreciated gift than a good bottle of wine? We find it difficult, especially since it is something that brings us together at the table and sparks pleasant conversations. San Miguel de Allende is well known for its diversity of vineyards where, in addition to acquiring your favorite grapes, you can take tours and tastings to expand your palate and delve into the world of viticulture. Our recommendations:
Natural products for the most beautiful
Although skin care and personal care have become a trend in recent years, the truth is that since ancient times humans have used the tools and techniques at their disposal to stay as radiant as possible. Fortunately, many new brands are conscious and responsible with the environment, creating 100% natural, organic and cruelty-free options. Here are our recommendations of brands that make soaps, creams, lotions and more produced right here:
Family meal outdoors
Why meet at home when you can find a spacious place, in the countryside or outdoors, to spend time with your mom and your loved ones? Personally, we love to escape from the city and discover all the spots around the city, to clear our minds and break the routine. Among our recommendations are restaurants of all kinds, Mexican, Italian, American and international food.
- The Orchard – For a good brunch and shopping for supplies.
- Countryside Market – Grilled delicacies.
- Mama Mia Countryside – Pizzas and wood-fired barbecues.
- The Skinny Coyote – Cuts and snacks from the sea.

Pan dulce is Mexican culture, no matter what. And as such, it can never be missing! Breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's always a good time to have your favorite piece from our favorite bakery. If you have any time left after lunch, you definitely have to stop by one (or all) of our recommendations to try the best bread in San Miguel:

- Fatima Rooftop with Mike Garcia
- The Restaurant with Donnie Masterton
- Kouyin with Marcela Bolaño

A somewhat alternative plan but not out of the question, we are in the middle of 2021 and tattoos are part of our popular culture and the skin of millions of people around the world. If you were already thinking about getting a couple of tattoos, why not suggest to mom that you get something meaningful together that you will carry forever? We have the ideal place to do it:
- Ritual Study – We visited recently and loved it, they specialize in fine line tattoos.

Last but not least, there is always, always something that is missing at home or that probably isn't but would look amazing on the console table in the living room or hanging in the bedroom.

Here are some options of stores and boutiques where you can find decorative or functional pieces for the home:
