1. Make a date — Most moms want to spend time together more than anything else. Dinner (or brunch/lunch) and a movie? Yes please. The Byrd ($2/ticket), Bowtie and Westhampton Cinema are great local theaters with a lot of character. Some of my (and my Mom’s) favorite local spots to dine are Balliceaux, Ipanema and Akida. Other date ideas: a long walk, a museum tour, or a day at the spa together.
If Mom lives far away or time is an issue, you can also give her any of the above experiences via gift certificate for her to enjoy on her own or with another friend.
2. Give a service — Offer to clean, do yard work, cook, etc. You can also hire someone to do it if you’d prefer. If Mom wants help getting organized, we offer gift certificates for our services and you can buy them online via our “gift us” page.
3. Go digital — Electronic things are clutter free in nature because they don’t take up physical space. Think a subscription to Netflix, or an iTunes gift card. Does Mom have a ton of old printed photos and VHS tapes? Preserve those memories forever by transferring them to digital format for her. Local business Revolve can do the job at a very reasonable price.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
