Just for mom

It’s the toughest job in the world but also the most rewarding. Life as a mom is wonderful and once a year (although it should be everyday) children and spouses show their appreciation on Mother’s Day, May 13. With that in mind, Babyvibe searched to find some great gift ideas just for mom this Sunday. (Note for our Babyvibe moms: print this off and pass it along to dad).

Moments in time

Sneak the kids to Bopomo Pictures in Vancouver to have their picture taken by one of their great photographers on hand. Pick up your printed pics the next day along with one of their great scrapbook kits. Have the tykes help put it all together and mom will pleasantly be surprised with a beautiful assortment of images of her little ones.

Relax

Treat mom to a day at the spa. Here at Babyvibe we love Vida Wellness Spa in Vancouver and Whistler. Without a doubt, the spa offers a super selection of massages and aruyvedic treatments along with other traditional spa fare.

On Vancouver Island, Aquaterre Spa in Craig Bay is offering a fantastic selection of special mother’s Day treatments that will help any mother enter a state of bliss. Treatments just for mom are available May 11 to 18 and space is limited.

Eat

Mother’s Day brunch is traditionally always a favourite thing to treat mom to. Here, in B.C., there are numerous locales that offer tremendous brunches. Thanks to a recent review in The Province by Mark Laba, we have the scoop on some of the best spots to have Mother’s Day brunch this year. Top marks went to Café Pacifica at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver where you’ll find a mouth-watering Callebaut chocolate fountain and a big spread of great food. Also in Vancouver, the Marriot Pinnacle Hotel offers a special brunch in their Showcase Restaurant. Proceeds from the brunch go to the Children’s Miracle Network. Treat mom to the view of the city from Burnaby Mountain at Horizons restaurant in Burnaby. In Surrey, Morgan Creek Golf and Country Club, receives top marks for a great buffet and for having a separate buffet for the tykes.

Time for mom

While we all like to spoil mom, not all of us share the same budget. One of the best gifts that any child or husband can give mom is time. So, on Sunday, give mom her own time out by cooking breakfast and letting her sleep in. When she wakes up, offer her her favourite magazine or a great new book to read. Add into the mix the time to have a long, relaxing shower or bath, and she will surely be content!

To all our Babyvibe moms: Happy Mother’s Day!
