My Top 10 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Adventures with Mom for Mother’s Day

One of my favorite pictures of my mom and I at a family party!
One of my favorite quotes is “Buy experiences, not things.” An experience elicits more happiness and holds more memories than any material good. This Mother’s Day, instead of buying your mom a designer handbag or an overpriced piece of jewelry, do something fun that you BOTH will enjoy together.
Here are ten fun Mother’s Day ideas that I personally enjoy with my mom. Experience these fun adventures with your role model not only on Mother’s Day, but any other time throughout the year!

Taking the ferry into New York City to see Les Misérables and enjoy a pasta meal at Becco in Hells Kitchen.
2, Dress up, sip on some delicious wine and enjoy a beautiful day at a local winery.

Taking in the fall foliage at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ this past November.
3, Get active by taking a morning hike, yoga or fitness class or stroll around your local park. Grab a healthy lunch at a cute café afterwards and enjoy each other’s company.

4, Take a cooking class and immerse yourselves in different cultural cuisines. You’ll become the foodies you both aspire to be.

Can you tell my mom and I love wine? Enjoying delicious food and local produced wine at Robibero Family Vineyards in New Paltz, NY.
5, Become the next Picasso and enjoy your favorite beverage at a local paint and sip class. Make sure to bring hors d’oeuvres to snack on!

Clearly, my mom has more artistic skills than I do. We made peacock trees and drank Kung Fu Girl Riesling at Painting with a Twist in Glen Rock, NJ.

I love spending time with Mom!

8, Have a relaxing beach day. Take the fun over to the boardwalk afterwards!

Having fun at beautiful La Jolla Cove in San Diego.
9, Whip up your mom’s favorite foods and make a picnic at the local lake or park. Don’t forget the orange juice and champagne to make mimosas!

10, Do something daring and adventurous!

No matter what obstacles life throws at me or the risks I choose to take, my mom will always have my back!
My mom and I love ice-skating at Bear Mountain, NY on Saturday mornings in the winter.
Have a beautiful and Happy Mother’s Day!
Love, Taylor
