Mother's Day is On the Way
This is a day to spoil the mothers and caretakers that we know, take the time to remember the ones that we miss, or possibly just leave poor mom alone (sometimes solitude is a gift, right?). Luckily, Denton has a lot to offer with delicious brunch options, gifts, gift certificates, and activities. As the mother to a tiny and perfect terror myself, here are just a few things that this mom would enjoy on Mother’s Day:
Pampering
Sure, a spa package may be an obvious choice, but there’s a good chance you know a tired mom-type that has never spoiled themselves with this gift. Well, look no further than Essentials Day Spa. In addition to their variety of treatments and packages from facials to pedicures, Essentials Day Spa has also put together some wonderful Mother’s Day Specials. Buying a gift certificate has never been so easy.
Speaking of gift certificates, Soma Massage Therapy also makes giving the gift of self-care as easy as...clicking a link. Browse their sales, specials, and gift cards to assemble that perfect self-care package.
Plants & Flowers & Crafts
Yes, it’s cliche, but Mother’s Day flowers are cliche for a reason, and it’s because we love them. Most of us love plants and flowers and always want to receive them, so you might know someone that feels the same way. Aunt Sue’s Barn, a farm offering locally grown cut flowers from January into summer, will guide you through the farm to handpick a custom bouquet. Once you've finished, the staff will even wrap your beautiful blooms for you. If that’s more effort than you'd like to put in to a bouquet arrangement, you can also purchase the special Mother's Day Bouquet, or even a Spring Flower subscription (who doesn’t want to receive flowers twice a month?).
If the mom in your life is more of a plant mom, True Leaf Studio is an excellent choice for picking out that perfect plant. In addition to their unique plant offerings, they also offer on-site terrarium making! Turn plant shopping into an activity, and make your own terrarium with guidance from the super informed staff. Or if you think terrarium making in itself would make a good gift, you can purchase the kit for at-home assembly.
If you're looking for more creative Mother’s Day activities, then wait until I tell you about Painting With a Twist. It is FUN! Painting With a Twist is celebrating Mother’s Day with a Mom-osa bar at all events. And if the plan for Mother’s Day this year is to embrace pajamas and at-home fun, Painting With a Twist has you covered with their Twist at Home Kits.
Restaurants
And now, for my favorite part of any celebration: the food. Every year, Denton’s incredible restaurants offer special brunch menus and more just for Mother’s Day. Make sure to check out the unique offerings curated by local favorites such as The Chestnut Tree, Hannah’s Off the Square, and Boca 31. Stay tuned to their social media pages for information regarding menus and reservations.
Gifts
Gift-giving doesn't have to be a chore. Keep an eye on the Denton Main Street Association and the Denton Community Market for additional Mother's Day promotions around downtown Denton.
