Mother’s Day Made Easy

Where to Go and What to Give Any Kind of Mom
When my mother is driving me nuts fussing over the little stuff, I completely forget how great she is and I know you do the same. But don’t let that feeling stop you from giving her a perfect Mother’s Day this year; we’ve got a complete guide with everything you need to get ready for each of the four classic mom types.
If you do it right, she’ll forget about the missing presents, late phone calls and the times you spent the day with your ex’s family.
Your mom is like Martha Stewart: She is a do-it-all Mom with luxurious tastes, from designer shoes to sipping fine wines.
Mother’s Day gift: Buy her a weekend at cooking school, a luxury spa visit or a weekend away at a bed and breakfast (near a vineyard with wine tours of course).
Shower her with flowers: Find a beautiful new shrub for her garden or a bouquet of heirloom roses.
The perfect lunch: Since she’s probably picky you may want to ask her advice. If it’s up to you, a Restaurantica http://www.restaurantica.com search for fine dining in your city will turn up a classy lunch spot featuring the crème de la crème of her favorite cuisine.
Afternoon activity: After the meal you could visit a local art museum, specialty food boutiques or an exclusive theatre event.
Your mom is like Mrs. Cleaver: she makes tasty casseroles, wears Mom jeans and is always supportive.
Mother’s Day gift: A new stove, cookware, a year’s subscription to O Magazine, or even hiring a landscaper or cleaner to help her for a few weeks are sweet ideas. Your mom will probably be just as happy with a cake you baked or a beautiful card with a handwritten note, filled with earnest thanks that your mother is the woman that she is.
Shower her with flowers: Pick some fresh tulips from your own garden to give her, or splash out on mums for your Mom.
The perfect lunch: Go to the much-loved place that your family always votes her down from; the one you wouldn’t be seen dead in. If you can’t think of her favorite restaurant, a tasty classic brunch always does the trick.
Afternoon activity: A play at a local theatre, your kids’ soccer game, or for a well deserved pedicure (her first in years).
Your Mom is like Jane Goodall: she’s an animal lover who taught you to recycle before you could walk (and still doesn’t dye her hair or wear makeup).
Mother’s Day gift: A one-day retreat for two at a nearby yoga center, or a gift that helps her favorite charity. Or indulge a hobby, with gardening clogs and some great new tools.
Shower her with flowers: Think about a potted plant or even seedlings if she has a green thumb; but if her home can’t keep anything alive, gather some fresh wildflowers from the side of the road (or an organic market). Lady’s slippers and dogwood make an interesting display.
The perfect lunch: She’ll love a restaurant with organic and local ingredients, or trying out an ethnic cuisine she’s never tasted. Get inspired reading reviews and searching for places like Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Croatian, or Estonian restaurants.
Afternoon activity: Relax watching a film about nature at an IMAX theatre, or get moving with a nice stroll in the park or canoeing on the lake.
Your Mom is a modern – day Claire Huxtable: she’s a heroine in the corporate realm, saving the world with her techie tools.
Mother’s Day gift: A new GPS navigation system, the MacBook Air, or trendy accessories (like a laptop bag that she can keep all her toys in).
Shower her with flowers: Think outside the box with birds of paradise or a beautiful bonsai – either will be stunning in her office.
The perfect lunch: Grab her attention at a place with cutting edge aesthetics. Tasting plates or tapas will fill her need for variety, and they usually come out at the frenetic speed she lives in.
Afternoon activity: Sign up for a charity race together, or attend a conference based on a mutual interest – anything goes with this mom, as long as she doesn’t have to slow down.
Start planning!
She’ll tell you for weeks that it’s the thought that counts, until her face drops when you show up with loving thoughts in lieu of a gift and lunch reservations. For maximum results, plan ahead, and take care of the details; all of a sudden you’ll have given your Mom the most phenomenal day she can dream of.
Mother’s Day is the busiest day to eat out all year; so find the perfect spot and everything you need for your reservation on Restaurantica http://www.restaurantica.com.
