If there’s one thing that a Mother should not have to do on Mother’s Day it’s worry—about anything. Being a Mom is a selfless—and all too often thankless—24/7 job that provides sporadic little bits of “me” time. Thus, Mother’s Day should provide a respite from the everyday chaos of being a parent. Prepare a day for her that is nothing but unfettered enjoyment. Enjoyment via catharsis and stress relief is a great gift for the woman who brought you into this world. Here are some of our favorite luxury services for Mom in Boston:
Taste of the Orient Spa Treatment | The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Boston
Send Mom to The Spa at Mandarin Oriental for the day and let her unwind and relax in one of the most tranquil spas in New England. As soon as one enters The Spa at Mandarin Oriental one can’t help but relax—the place is deep-breath induing to say the least. The therapists here are highly trained and very skilled, and all who enter will be sure to leave feeling rejuvenated and de-stressed. We recommend the The Taste of the Orient half day package which includes a Welcoming Foot Ritual, a Oriental Salt Scrub, a Mandarin Oriental Signature Spa Therapy and a Mandarin Oriental Manicure. With this particular package all the bases are covered, there’s spa elements for relaxation mixed with beauty treatments.
A Day of Shopping and Beauty | Neiman Marcus Boston
If your Mom likes to shop, why not give her a day of shopping at a premium department store like Neiman Marcus on you? Mother’s tend to be selfless; for most it’s in their nature to spend on others while leaving themselves neglected. Neiman Marcus is a designer superstore that carries everything from ultra-high end and high-fashion pieces to more affordable selections. Give your Mom a worry-free day of shopping and top it all of with the Cle de Peau Beaute Facial, available at Neiman Marcus from 10-6 on May 16th.
Cooking Class | Sur La Table
Whether Mom is a culinary connoisseur, a run-of-the-mill food fanatic or just someone who likes to cook, a cooking class at Sur La Table would be a great gift for Mother’s day. We’re not recommending a specific class as Sur La Table offers an array of classes for every skill level and interest, but we are recommending looking into the class the fits best and booking it ASAP. The classes at Sur La Table are not only enlightening and educational, but they’re also a lot of fun.
Blow Out | Bradley and Diegel
What better way to start a special night out on the town then with a blowout from a premium salon like Bradley and Diegel. Everyone loves to look good and be pampered once in a while, and your Mom—especially—deserves a night out looking her very best. A stop in at the renowned Bradley and Diegel Salon for a blowout and styling will serve as the perfect beginning for a special evening out.
Spin Class | Flywheel
For the active Mother who never seems to have enough time to get a workout in, book her a 45 minute spin class at one of the best cycling centers in Boston. Just like its sister studios in Manhattan, the instructors at Flywheel take their job very seriously and their dedication shows in the quality of their classes. The music and the flow of each class is carefully calibrated so that the whole experience has a cohesive and natural feel to it. The bikes at Flywheel are custom engineered and the facilities themselves are top-notch. For the Mom who loves to get in a good, cathartic workout but never seems to have the time, a class at Flywheel is an ideal gift.
