It’s that time of the year again where we celebrate our special mama’s and all that they do for us. Here are some ideas on special gifts that you can celebrate with your special lady for mother’s day.

Treat Her with a Spa Day

A great way to surprise your special mother is to go on a spa day together. It will be a special treat for the both of you. There are tons of options in Los Angeles from choose from. I’ve included a list of some of my favorites below. It’s up to you whether you would like to do a quick getaway to some hot springs in the desert or if you prefer a staycation in the city, your choice!

The Now Massage

This boutique massage parlor is an adorable mini-getaway from the bustling city. It’s interior is minimal with white walls adorned with lively greenery. They also have a variety of treatment options to choose from massages starting at $35 to luxury massage packages. Plus, it’s Los Angeles location is extremely convenient if you’re based in LA.

The Raven Spa

Located in Silverlake, the Raven Spa is another favorite of mine. As soon as you enter this boutique massage parlor it will make you feel as if you’ve traveled to another country. It’s also another perfect staycation option. I recommend checking out their invigorating facials as well.

Koriake Pensione

If you’re looking for a little getaway then try Koriakia Pensione. The Moroccan decor will transport you to an ideal state of relaxation and pure bliss.

Quick Tip: I recommend making reservations ahead of time to secure your appointment.

Go For a Nice Brunch

If you’ve been following me for a while then you know that I’m a huge fan of weekend brunch. If you’re planning on staying near Los Angeles then I recommend checking out my “Mother’s Day in LA Guide”. Otherwise here are some great brunch spots in Los Angles.

  • The Butcher’s Daughter
  • The Green House Cafe
  • Blu Jam Cafe
  • Urth Cafe
  • The American Tea Room
  • Hyperion Public
  • Ostrich Farms

Make A Personalized Card

Nothing screams heartfelt than making a personalized mothers day card. You can take out those arts and crafts skills and design your own car or you can also check out these websites that still allow you design your own card but also include a plethora of additional personalization options like uploading photos to share a special memory.

Quick Tip: E-cards are also a great option especially if you’ve found yourself in a time crunch.

Send Her Flowers

Who doesn’t love flowers? Exactly! So surprise her with a lovely bouquet of her favorite flowers to let her know they as sweet as herself. If you’re based in Los Angeles then I recommend the Los Angeles Flower Market. However, if you are both living in different states or whatnot you can also opt for a delivery service. I’ve listed some option below to check out.

Try A Gift Basket

Surprise your mother with a special delivery gift basket. This is a great option where you can send her a variety of yummy items like wine, tasty cheeses, and sweets. It’s a thoughtful way to show how much you appreciate your special someone. One option is to gather the items you think she will love best and decorate the basket yourself. However, if you are short on time not to fret I’ve also included pre-made and personalized online gift basket services for your convenience.
