Hyack the Holidays: Mother’s Day gift guide
Mother's Day is coming up. While thoughtful, free gifts of breakfast in bed and family outings to special places are always a great idea for mums, it also feels good to have someone splurge on you. Shop locally, and you can find a great gift for mum while also supporting our community. Here are my New Westminster gift picks for Mother's Day.
Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, May 9. While thoughtful, free treats like breakfast in bed and family outings to special places are always a great idea for mums, it also feels good to have someone splurge on you. Shop locally, and you can find a great gift for mum while also supporting our community. Here are my New Westminster gift picks for Mother’s Day:
- Flower subscription from Queen’s Park Florist – A bouquet of flowers is expected, but sign her up for weekly deliveries of fresh flowers and come out smelling like roses.
- Royal City Rose – This Saturday only, line up at Queen’s Park Stadium between 9-10am for a limited edition Royal City Rose for Mom to plant in her garden. They are reputed to be both beautiful and hardy, just like mum.
- Pinky & Co. – Shopping for a new mom? Splurge on a designer diaper bag or a pretty nursing cover.
- Special three-course dinner at The Orange Room with free mimosas for mums!
- A special bottle or two from Pacific Breeze Winery, or sign Mom up for one of their wine tasting events.
- Gift certificate for Urban Phoenix. This heritage home-turned-spa is a unique and luxurious environment for a mother-daughter mani/pedi date.
- Flexpass tickets to the Vagabond Players (four tickets for $45, can be used anytime for any production).
- Mother’s Day Opera, May 9, 2pm at Massey Theatre, featuring two hours of crowd-pleasing classics from Puccini, Rossini and Mozart.
Those are some of my ideas, but I’m sure there’s more. What’s your best recco for a local Mother’s Day gift?
