Mother’s Day is this Sunday, in case you don’t know, and most moms tend to take it pretty seriously. And after giving you the gift of life, it’s probably a good idea for you to take it seriously, too.
So, here’s five ways for you to make it a special Mother’s Day for your mom:
1 – Edible Arrangements
Flowers are great but they’re a bit typical, and although edible arrangements are growing increasingly popular of late, they are still an extremely great gift. They’ll add a dash of originality over flowers and will yield a tastier reward. This is certainly one to go for. If you don’t know where to get them from, try EdibleAssortments.com.
2 – Spas
There’s gift cards and then there’s gift cards. Yes, you can go to Macy’s and get a gift card from there and it’ll work, but why not a certificate to a spa? She’ll love it instantly and it’ll give her a day to pamper herself. This is also a great last minute idea, in case you haven’t bought her anything just yet. So long as you know her favorite place, you’re golden.
3 – Brunch/Lunch on Mother’s Day
This one should go without saying. Nothing says “I love you, Mom,” better than actually spending time with her. Corny, but true. The city has countless excellent places to check out, but on a beautiful Spring day (tomorrow will be sunny with a high of 70), a restaurant with outdoor seating is probably your best bet. Tree, in the East Village, is a charming, slightly tight, little place with an excellent patio area that’s at once fresh and well-decorated. For a special deal at Tree, you can get amazing savings through DineTonite.
4 – Broadway Show
Along with the gift of time, mothers (and people in general) also love fun experiences, and a Broadway show certainly counts! Bear in mind that Broadway is not the only place that has shows. As reported by AllMediaNY and ReviewFix, exciting off-Broadway theater is now moving toward Brooklyn and the other outer boroughs. Or, of course, you can check out something on Broadway and there’s a good chance you’ll make her day.
5 – Be a Tourist
Lastly, another way to make Mother’s Day special for your mom is to be a tourist. You could combine suggestion #3 (Tree in the East Village) with this one and, after lunch, you could head on down to the South Street Seaport and enjoy the sights or else head up to Midtown and go to Rockefeller Center. It’ll make the day memorable and she’ll really appreciate.
