10 Unique Mother’s Day Celebration Ideas

Candle Making at Embers Candle Bar

If your mom loves candles as we do, put candle making at Embers Candle Bar first on your list. A custom candle bar experience with your mom is just a phone call away! First, you and your mom will choose a container. There are many different designs and sizes. Next, you choose your favorite scents. Mix your favorite classic scents with unique scents like a traditional lavender with a seasonal scent. Then, the fun begins! Make yourself comfortable at our candle-making bar and start creating your unique blend.

After you pour your candle, it’s time for brunch!

Maybe you’re staying home this year to celebrate Mother’s Day! Consider taking home our candle making kits to do right at your very own table.

Brunch with the Best

If there’s one thing we love to do after candle making, it is brunching. And, yes, brunching is an official verb, according to Dictionary.com. Make a reservation for brunch to enjoy delicious mimosas and tasty breakfast food with your mom. If you are staying home to celebrate the special day, consider cooking your own brunch with all of your mom’s favorite breakfast foods. Set the dining table with beautiful flowers and bright decor, making the meal extra special.

Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Iced Tea, and more are the perfect way to toast to your loved one!

Gardening

If you’re searching your brain trying to figure out how to celebrate Mother’s Day, gardening is always a good idea. You may have a green thumb; you may not! But getting outside and planting beautiful flowers and plants with your mom is one of our favorite ways to spend quality time. Nothing says spring and Mother’s Day like planting and gardening beautiful flowers. As your mom watches them bloom, she will look back on the memories made while celebrating Mother’s Day.

Sunday Morning at the Farmer’s Market

Another unique idea for celebrating Mother’s Day and enjoying the sunshine is spending Sunday morning at the Farmer’s Market. Many farmer’s markets have an array of delicious treats, beautiful blooms, and unique gifts that your mom is sure to love. Start the day walking around the Farmer’s Market and then take your finds home to cook or craft or both!

Celebrate from Afar with a Curated Gift Basket

If you’re celebrating Mother’s Day from afar, a gift basket is one of the best ways to make your mom feel special. Instead of ordering a gift basket online or having flowers delivered, consider curating a gift basket with all of her favorite things.

Unique Items to Fill Your Curate Gift Basket

Baking Party

Maybe your mom loves to bake. There is no better way to celebrate Mother’s Day and to spend quality time than a baking party. Visit the store and buy all the ingredients to make your mom’s favorite baked goods. Blast fun music and bake with your mom. To make the day even more special, consider baking a fun heart-shaped cookie or decorate cookies with your mom’s favorite colors!

Wine Tasting

If you and your mom can venture to a vineyard, celebrate Mother’s Day by tasting delicious wine in a beautiful setting. From Stonehaus Winery to KC Wineworks, there are a variety of beautiful wineries to choose from in the Kansas City metropolitan area. If a day trip or weekend trip to a vineyard is not feasible, consider hosting your very own wine tasting. Invite family and your mom’s closest friends to enjoy hand-picked wine in the comfort of your home. Cheers to moms everywhere!

Book a Spa Day

Being a mom is difficult at times and can also be exhausting. Booking a spa day for your mom might be precisely what she needs to decompress and relax. From a mani-pedi to a massage, a spa day is one of our favorite ways to show our moms how much we love them and how thankful we are for them.

Recreate Special Family Photos

Unique like candle making, recreating your mom’s favorite family photos is a way to make your mom laugh and cry all at the same time. Get your siblings together and recreate the family photo your mom has hanging on the walls or a picture that she talks about often.

Scenic Walk with a Picnic

If your mom loves to be active and enjoy the sunshine, a scenic walk through a park with a picnic basket in hand is the best way to celebrate Mother’s Day! Get together all of your mom’s favorite foods and drinks and lay out a blanket to enjoy the sunshine and spend quality time. Spring is one of the best times of the year in the Midwest. Sunshine is right around the corner, just like Mother’s Day.

While sending your mom a card and flowers are completely okay; we love mixing it up and celebrating our moms in unique ways! After all, being a mom is a full-time job, 365 days a year. Candle making, gardening, and the rest of the above ideas are our favorite ways to show our moms how much we appreciate and love them. Embers Candle Bar was founded by a mother/daughter team, and we believe there is nothing more important than building memories that will last a lifetime. Happy Mother’s Day!
