The Mom Who Needs a Break

Book an appointment or grab a gift card for Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, or New You Skin and Body Spa for a few hours of pure relaxation.
DIY a spa package for mom by giving her everything she needs for a relaxing night at home! Local shops like Eleven Eleven Gifts have a wonderful variety of hand-poured candles, bath bombs, and bath salts.
Stop by The Shops on West Diamond for loose leaf teas, crystals with a relaxing aura, handcrafted soaps, and other small gifts!

The Impressed Mom
Does your mom seem to have it all together? Here’s a couple of gift ideas that are sure to impress.
Give the gift of specialty crafted foods like a jam gift set from Batch or infused olive oil from The Enchanted Olive. Add a fresh artisan loaf of sourdough and its accompanying book from Novel Breads Co to create a gift basket that is sure to make her smile!
While you are at Batch, don’t forget to pick up a piece of beautiful hand-crafted ware from Christy Culp Ceramics!
If your mom loves to sparkle, get her something that shines from Mathew Jewelers or let her browse and buy at Rustic Blossom Boutique, Boutique Blue, The Kollection Co, or Eva Bryn Shoetique!

Another option is a flower arrangement or lovely spring wreath from All About Reclaimed. The wildflower garden arrangement or designer’s choice arrangement are sure blow her away!
The Outdoorsy Mom
If your mom watched you like a hawk, chances are she might enjoy bird watching.
The Birdwatchers Store carries birdhouses, feeders, binoculars, and more! After you grab all the necessary gear, take her to explore. Check out the Field Guide to Birding in Butler County to plan your next stop.
If your mom prefers to enjoy nature from the comfort of her home, bring the outdoors inside. Put together a gift basket with bird feeder necessities, a live plant from Grows on Main, beautiful crystals from Appalachian Rock Shop, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon watching wildlife from the back porch.
If your mom knows how to go with the flow, book a day on the waves in Moraine State Park’s Lake Arthur! SurfSUP Adventures starts booking adventures in May and has experiences suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Another option on the water is a ride on Preston's Pearl: this two-story pontoon boat is ADA accessible and allows you to see Lake Arthur from a new perspective! When you’re ready to return to land, take her for a sweet treat at The Snowman.
If your mom would rather stay grounded than venture out to sea, take a hike or ride the bikes on Butler-Freeport Trail! Be sure to refuel for lunch at Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe before heading home.
Mystery Mayhem Escapes and Axe Throwing has indoor and outdoor adventures! Spend an afternoon with your mom for a challenge that lets you explore local parks as you look for clues and save the world during a fictional mission.
Give your mom the garden of her dreams this Mother’s Day with a helping hand from reliable growers! Stop by some of our favorite gardens and greenhouses to pick the perfect crop. Then, go home and help her dig in the dirt!
The “I-Don’t-Want-A-Gift” Mom
“You don’t have to get me anything, I just want all my kids together!”
Get creative at Steele’s Brushes and Ceramics or CURIO Art Gallery & Studio. Spend an afternoon of relaxation and laughter while painting a ceramic critter, plate, or home accessory that will remind her of this Mother’s Day for years to come.
If you want to paint, but don’t want to wait for your piece to be fired in the kiln, Woods Lane & Co. or Harmonie Laden may be the perfect place! Take your mom to create a sign-making workshop to decorate the family home.
Another option for moms that shine would be a class at Spring Street Studios, where a group of up to eight people get step-by-step instructions and create a stained-glass masterpiece.
Make a candle with meaning at Scentcerely Yours Candle Studio! Celebrate your favorite lady with 100% soy wax candles, scented and customized to be uniquely yours. While your candle sets, explore the town of Zelienople and treat her to a coffee at Spring & Main, lunch at ShuBrew, or a nice dinner at Della Terra.
Plan the perfect tea party at Saxonburg Tearoom on Main! Dress your Sunday best and let the employees at Tearoom on Main do the rest. Enjoy an elegant afternoon with a beautiful table setting, a light and fresh lunch, an assortment of sweets, and, of course, a spring-inspired selection of teas. Another great option is exploring our charming small towns with a Burgh Bits & Bites Food Tour!
