So you haven’t gotten a gift yet? Maybe some of these special events and sales will prove inspirational for Mother’s big day.
Join the festivities as new boutique Sandwich at Westfield Montgomery Mall celebrates its grand opening Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. with hors d'oeuvres, drinks and gift bags. Signing up for the store’s VIP email list saves you 20 percent of your purchase.
