1. Surprise Her with a Mother’s Day Getaway
Mother’s Day is a perfect time to travel with the nice weather in May. A vacation will give you plenty of quality time together that you may not get otherwise due to busy schedules. Whether your mom loves the beach, mountains, luxury, or adventure, this list of Mother’s Day getaways has all the locations mom will love.
2. Go Horseback Riding
If your mom listens to country music or is a “southern girl” at heart, she would LOVE to go on a horseback riding tour. There are some excellent tours you can go on with the best scenic routes on a horse. Spend the morning horseback riding and visit a local café for lunch afterward. These two things combined would make the most unforgettable Mother’s Day experience gifts to share together with mom.
3. Visit the Botanical Gardens
Does your mom love flowers? Then the botanical gardens are a must-see. During the month of May, flowers are blooming and gorgeous – making it the perfect Mother’s Day experience gift to do together. The Botanical Gardens are in most major cities and have a mixture of flowers, plants, and art collections.
4. Do an Escape Room
If your mom is the type that enjoys puzzles and strategy games, plan an escape room. This has been a huge hit with my own mom – and brother too! In an escape room, your goal is to find clues around the room to complete puzzles and open locks. A timer is usually set to one hour, and the goal is to escape the room with the final key, which unlocks the door. The team either wins together or loses together. Trust me – this game is FUN.
5. Take Mom to a Baseball Game
Baseball is in full swing (ha!) during the month of May. Baseball tickets are a great gift for sporty moms. Typically Sunday baseball games are in the afternoon – so you’ll get some time out in the sun together. Grab a couple of drinks or an ice cream and root on your favorite team. This will be a Mother’s Day experience gift your mom will love.
6. Go on a Hot Air Balloon Ride
I have personally never done this before, but it is definitely on my bucket list. Find a hot-air balloon ride that is local or during your Mother’s Day getaway if you plan a vacation. There are sure to be some great sights to see from above.
7. Have a Staycation
Maybe you and your mom want to relax and have a staycation together. You can plan fun things at home, or even stay at a resort that is within quick driving distance from you. Prepare mom breakfast in bed, watch a movie marathon, and do some arts and crafts together. Or if you go to a local resort, take advantage of the spa!
