Patch Picks: Mother's Day
From day spa getaways to breakfast in bed, Patch has you covered for ideas to celebrate Mother's Day.
Motherhood is a demanding job, consuming 168 hours a week for 18 years, with only one vacation day per year. Whether the mom in your life is your own mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, or yourself, here are some ideas to make Sunday, May 8, extra special.
Think out of the box and dump the flowers and chocolates in favor of waking Mom up with breakfast in bed—but first stop by Great Harvest Bread Company. Baked fresh daily using the freshest ingredients, this shop even offers low-carbohydrate and fat-free loaves. Their Mother’s Day specials include white chocolate cherry swirl bread, chocolate brownie hearts, and chocolate bliss cookies!
Heartfelt, handmade gifts from youngsters are great, but we're sure no mom would object to a little pampering on the side. On May 4 and 5, this Lake Elmo salon and spa is offering a gift bag of swag—hair care, skin and hand products—to the first 15 women to book the Mother’s Day Special. Including a facial, shampoo and style, and an express manicure. This special is good for first-time customers.
