This Sunday is Mother’s Day, and it’s a safe bet that plenty of procrastinating San Antonians are scrambling to find something that will put a smile on Mom’s face.

Don’t fret, unorganized comrades, we’ve got a list of last-minute events that will make it look like you have your shit together, especially if your mama is a foodie. There’s even an option for moms who prefer to stay home and avoid the masses — because that’s OK too.

Three Star Bar will host sandwich pop-up Gigi’s Deli Sunday, offering stacked Italian sandos from 5 p.m. to sellout.
