When you’ve gotten Mom new hand towels, a candle, or a new set of slippers for the 18th year in a row, you may be hoping for a fresh new idea to surprise her this year.

Maybe the Millennials started it – or maybe the pandemic placed a greater emphasis and enjoyment of spending time together instead of material possessions – but no matter the origin, giving “experiences” as gifts has grown in popularity over the last decade. 

We’ve put together a handful of ideas below to get your wheels turning on what your Mom might like this Mother’s Day…

Sur La Table Cooking Class
Sur La Table offers local cooking classes year-round. Buy one for you and Mom, or for Mom and a friend.

Class Pass
If Mom is wanting some more activity or maybe wants to give Yoga a try, consider buying her a Class Pass, where she can choose classes at gyms around the city and try new workout experiences.

National Parks Pass
If Mom’s the outdoorsy type and would love to plan some national park adventures (close-by or far away), this would be a great gift she can use all year round.

Plant Workshop
Mom can work on her green thumb and get some firsthand expertise from the folks at The Sill plant shop based in NYC, Chicago, Boston, LA, or San Francisco. If you live too far away to join, consider looking into workshops at your local plant nursery for a fun outdoors experience. 

FabFitFun Spa Box
These quarterly subscription boxes are a fun way for Mom to try out some trending skincare, hair, and beauty products.

We’re so thankful for all the Moms out there who make this world a better place. We hope you have a sweet holiday with the wonderful women in your life.
