However Mother’s Day looks for you this year, hopefully these ideas inspire you to spoil your mom. Or, moms send this to your kids to give them hints! Let’s get a head start to celebrate our moms!
Visit the Chicago Botanic Gardens
Pictured below, the Chicago Botanic Gardens have so much to offer, including “Rose and Butterfly Gardens.” Give mom the gift of a great experience this year! They even offer “Botanic Arts, Photography, Nature & Birding classes” and much more for Moms to enjoy! Spoil Mom with Starbucks, lunch, and even merchandise all in one place! Check it out via their website: chicagobotanic.org.
Attend Richardson Farm’s “Tulip Festival”
On the theme of flowers and nature, bring Mom to Richardson Farm in Spring Grove. According to their website, “there will be over 1 million tulips and daffodils blooming throughout the season (mid-April through mid-May).” This is an awe-inspiring gift! You are able to hand pick tulips from rows beyond rows. The prices are as follows: “Tuesdays-Fridays for all ages [is] $16 + 1 free tulip/person [and] $2/additional tulip”. To learn more, sign up for their newsletter via their website: richarsonadventurefarm.com.
Take Mom to Scoop Society for ice cream AND coffee
That was not a typo! According to Google, Scoop Society in the “Arboretum of South Barrington offers 64 flavors of ice cream, [plus] free toppings [and] free Starbucks coffee with any purchase!” Mom would have a tough time turning that offer down! This place is a gift that just keeps on giving! Stop in or give them a call at 630-862-7597.
These ideas can provide great photo opportunities as well! Hopefully they also bring wonderful memories! Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day and fun to all!
