Mother’s Day is right around the corner (we can’t believe it either), but this year we’re skipping a generic gift and giving mom something she’ll cherish and remember forever. This year, gift an experience she’ll love, and earn bonus points if you join her on this outing. We’ve put together a list of thoughtful, easy-to-book ideas for every kind of mom. 

Whether you’re headed out on an adventure, trying something new with mamá, or joining her on a day of rest and relaxation, we’ve got the perfect idea on this list.  

Spa Day 

Treat her to the ultimate day of relaxation and pampering. Book massages, facials, or a full spa package, she deserves it. Consider joining her for one of these treatments and treat her to a delicious post-spa lunch. 

Wine Tasting 

Spend a day at a nearby vineyard sampling wines, enjoying small plates, and taking in the scenery. Look for wineries with guided tastings, onsite dining, or scenic picnic areas. Spend a full day together enjoying a slow and relaxing day filled with fun and wine. 

Workshop or Creative Class

Sign up for a pottery, painting or floral-arranging class. Mamá gets something thoughtful and handmade to take home and in turn you get quality time learning and creating something new together. This is a great way to give mom your full and undivided attention and make her feel loved on this special day. 

Botanical Garden or Nature Walk 

Stroll through a botanical garden, arboretum, or scenic park. It’s a relaxing, beautiful way to spend meaningful quality time together. Follow it with coffee, brunch, or a thoughtfully curated picnic to keep the celebration going. 

Outdoor Adventure  

Plan an active day tailored to mom’s taste and what she enjoys doing. Go for an easy hike, a bike ride, a beach day, or plan a picnic with the whole family. Being outdoors and staying active together allows you both to spend quality time together while doing something you both enjoy. 

Cooking Class 

Take a cooking workshop together and learn a new cuisine or perfect mamá’s favorite dish. This is a fun and practical way to spend quality time together while also being able to enjoy the delicious flavors of what you’ve each made. 

Guided Tour

Be tourists in your own city, join a walking tour, visit a museum you’ve never explored, or book something extra special like a hot-air balloon ride. Guided experiences can help make fond memories and ease the planning stress. 

Photoshoot Session 

Arrange a mini family portrait session or a duo photoshoot. Professional photos become keepsakes she’ll treasure and proudly display. This mother’s day experience will truly last her a lifetime. 

Do something a little different this year and get mamá involved in her gift and create memories you’ll both cherish forever.
