Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is on its way, and instead of waiting until the last minute to buy your mom a gift, we’ve come up with a few ideas to help you out. Our moms deserve to be pampered every day, especially on the day that’s all about them. So, make your reservations ahead of time to secure a spot at her favorite restaurant, or try a new one she hasn’t visited, and buy her a couple of her favorite things to make her day extra special. Every mom enjoys different things, so tailor these ideas to what you think your mom would love and appreciate the most. Flowers, candy, and gift cards are all great last-minute gifts, but go above and beyond for her this year. She does so much for you, so keep her in mind when you’re planning something special for her on Mother’s Day. 

Spend an afternoon with cats at the Cat Cafe

Take your mom to the Caffeinated Cat Cafe and enjoy an afternoon with cats in need of a new home. The cafe has a designated play area where you can sit and play with the cats. You might find your forever cat during your visit and apply to adopt a new furry friend. The cat cafe has many cats for you to create a bond with. You’ll need to make a reservation before to secure your spot. Weekday and weekend visits cost $16-$18 for a 50-minute session. If you want to spend a couple of hours with the furry kitties, the cost ranges from $28 to $30. Coffee isn’t included, so you can buy a cup before spending time with cats and enjoy their pastries. Give your mom the best gift of spending time with animals. 

Buy her new jewelry from a local Central Coast jewelry shop 

Len Collective has jewelry to fit everyone’s budget. They source jewelry from all over the United States, collecting pieces from both well-known and new jewelry artists. They offer a variety of pieces, from earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. Gift your mom a pair of stunning earrings or a new necklace. Len Collective sells gold and silver jewelry to complement any jewelry she wears regularly. If their jewelry doesn’t catch your eye, they also have self-care items, such as candles, books, and socks, to gift your mom. If you’re making her a care package, you can add a couple of items from Len Collective to her basket. 

Treat your Mom to Brunch 

Mother’s Day is a huge event across the world, and the Central Coast restaurants know how to treat moms with their special brunch menus. There’s no doubt your mom’s favorite restaurant will have a celebratory brunch with your mom’s name written all over it. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to take your mom out and try a new restaurant she hasn’t visited. Travel down to Santa Barbara and enjoy the gorgeous beach views at The Set, part of the Hilton Hotel, for MOMosa flights (mimosas), and walk along the beach or downtown. The Lido restaurant in Shell Beach is the perfect alternative to The Set, offering beautiful ocean views without the hour-long drive south. However, the drive is part of the fun, and you can make an entire day out of it. Spend as much time as possible with your mom and tell her how much you love her.
