As Mother's Day approaches, it's time to start thinking about the perfect gift to show your appreciation for that special person in your life. While flowers and chocolates may be great options, why not go above and beyond this year and gift an experience. Here are some thoughtful ideas that are sure to impress.
A Spa Day: There’s nothing like being spoiled with a massage, facial, or other luxurious treatments.
Need a spa recommendation? Try Lake Austin Spa, Hiatus, Milk & Honey, Lost Pines Hyatt, Mokara at the Omni, or Spa at the Lake.
A Cooking Class: The Austin area offers a variety of classes, ranging from basic cooking skills to more specialized classes, such as sushi making or BBQ smoking. A fun and unique experience to remember for the moms who love to cook. For cooking classes, try Sur La Table, Faraday’s Kitchen Store, or CozyMeal Cooking Classes.
A Trip to the Wineries: Consider a tour of some of the Hill Country's greatest wineries. Wineries we love. Stone House Vineyard, Duchman Family Winery, Spicewood Vineyards, Ron Yates Winery, or Bell Springs Winery.
A Staycation: Sometimes the best gift is a night away from home to relax and recharge in a luxe hotel complete with room service. Looking for hotels in and around Austin? Hotel Ella, Omni (Barton Creek & Downtown), Four Seasons, or Lakeway Resort and Spa. Would mom prefer a day trip? Check out our blog on Day Trips around Austin.
A Family Photo Shoot: Hire a professional photographer and gather the whole family together for a day of fun and memories. Something you will all cherish for years to come.
A Donation in Honor: This is a thoughtful way to support something important to her.
Gifts aside, take the time to write a heartfelt card, spend quality time together when possible, and show your love and appreciation year-round.
