Alright folks, it’s time to be on our best behavior and treat Mom like the queen she truly is.
And let’s call a spade a spade… Mother’s Day being just one day out of the year is quite an underwhelming amount of time to celebrate our moms. But that’s a whole different conversation!
It’s safe to say we’re not settling for anything less than a day filled with pampering, laughter, and maybe just a touch of mischief. So grab your favorite mom (yes, yours) and let’s show her why she’s the absolute best (right behind my mom).
Stop 1: Brunch Fit for a Queen at The Pearl
641 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215
First things first – brunch. And not just any brunch, mind you, but a brunch fit for royalty. The Pearl in the Short North is the perfect spot to kick off your Mother’s Day celebrations. Picture this: Mom sipping on mimosas while perusing a menu filled with mouthwatering options like buttermilk pancakes and classic Eggs Benedict. And hey, if she wants to order dessert first, who are we to judge? Keep your mouth shut and let mom do what mom wants to do!
Stop 2: Stroll Through Paradise at Franklin Park Conservatory
1777 E Broad St, Columbus, OH 43203
After brunch, it’s time to get some fresh air and soak in the beauty of nature at the Franklin Park Conservatory. Mom deserves nothing less than a leisurely stroll through lush gardens, vibrant floral displays, and whimsical art installations. Bonus points if you manage to snap a few Insta-worthy pics without her noticing. Remember, it’s all about creating memories (and maybe getting a good laugh out of it later).
Stop 3: Treat Your Mama at Winans Chocolates + Coffees
897 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43206
Now that Mom’s had her fill of brunch and botanical beauty, it’s time to indulge her sweet tooth at Winans Chocolates + Coffees. This charming chocolate shop in German Village offers an irresistible selection of handcrafted chocolates, decadent truffles, and gourmet coffees. Encourage Mom to pick out a few of her favorite treats (because remember, she deserves them all) and maybe sneak a few samples for yourself while you’re at it. You were always her favorite anyways, so she won’t get too mad.
Stop 4: DIY Spa Night at Home with Tiki Botanicals
650 S. 3rd St, Columbus, Ohio 43206
To cap off the perfect Mother’s Day, why not bring the spa to Mom with a DIY spa night at home? Take her to Tiki Botanicals to pick out her favorite handmade bath bombs, face cleansers, and scented candles, and treat Mom to an evening of relaxation and rejuvenation. Put on some soothing music, pour her a glass of her favorite wine (or two, or just give her the entire bottle), and let her unwind while you take care of the rest. And hey, if she falls asleep with cucumbers on her eyes, consider it a job well done.
