May is Your Moment

Curated gifts, the perfect weekend plans, and everything you need to gather and celebrate, all in one place. Whether it’s big occasions or the in-between, this season is all about showing up and savoring it because these are the moments that make the season.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to show her just how much she means. Find a gift to pamper and treat her, like hair care essentials or luxurious skin, nail, and body treatments at Aveda Institute Chapel Hill. Treat her to a special brunch or dinner at Flying Biscuit Chapel Hill, or put together a custom gift basket of her favorite indulgences. Whether you’re celebrating mom, a grandmother, or someone who feels like family, make the day unforgettable with thoughtful finds from University Place.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend is your official invitation to gather, grill, and celebrate. Stock up on everything you need for the perfect backyard bash, from cookout essentials and festive entertaining gear at Harris Teeter or enjoy a picnic on the lawn with a sweet treat from Jeni’s or Chick-fil-A. Fuel up before the festivities with a meal at Bartaco, or pick up all your hosting essentials in one easy trip.

Graduation Season

Every milestone deserves a moment! Find the perfect gift for the grad in your life, like sleek tech finds at AT&T or stylish frames for all their memories and meaningful keepsakes from The Frame & Print Shop. Treat them to a membership at their favorite wellness studio, like [solidcore], CycleBar, or SWTHZ. Cap off the celebration with a special dinner at Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill and a movie night at Silverspot Cinema that makes the day even more memorable.
