If your mom prefers experiences over possessions, consider planning some fun activities on Mother’s Day this year. Here are some of our suggestions.
Museum Trip
Plan a museum day with your favorite lady. If possible, pick a place where you can visit more than one museum in one day. Or, travel to a museum your mom has been interested in visiting.
Go Outdoors
If your mom enjoys being active, go on a hike, bike ride, kayaking or other outdoor activity. Check the nearby trails before you go and bring some snacks to enjoy during a break.
Book a Vacation
Reserve this day to plan a vacation with your mom. Research locations together then let her make the final decision.
Weekend Getaway
For those who prefer to plan in advance, book a weekend getaway for Mother’s Day weekend. Go someplace a short drive away or fly to a city she wants to see.
Cheers!
Visit a local winery or brewery on Mother’s Day. If the space allows outside food, pack a picnic to enjoy with your beer or wine tasting.
Game Night
Bring out your mom’s competitive side and host a game night. Pick out a variety of games so she has plenty of options. Prepare her favorite foods to snack on while you play.
Get Pampered
Whether it’s a manicure or a full day of spa services, take your mom for a beauty session at your local salon or spa.
