Make Mom Feel Special this Mother’s Day!

We wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day with our readers – the day dedicated to honoring moms, motherhood, and maternal figures. It’s a chance to show the most important woman in your life appreciation for her sacrifices and unconditional love. While flowers and cards are always an appreciated gesture, true pampering means going above and beyond the usual gifts.

This year, shower Mom with thoughtful acts of kindness. Start with a leisurely morning, perhaps serving her favorite breakfast in bed or taking her to a luxurious brunch in Music City at the Bobby Hotel’s Union Tavern or Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Franklin. Let her enjoy the day free from responsibilities by planning a spa day at MassageLuXe with a facial and massage or organizing a peaceful day in nature at Cheekwood Estates & Gardens, leisurely walking the stunning gardens. If she enjoys experiential activities, consider a wine tasting and picnic at Arrington Vineyards or a night at the Grand Ole Opry watching the live country music radio broadcast.

Make your gift meaningful, one that comes from the heart and has sentimental value. It’s about thought and effort, like a handwritten letter expressing your gratitude on a beautiful card from Amy Montgomery Home, a stylish new outfit from Aubree P. Boutique or Birdy Grace Boutique in her favorite color, a keepsake piece of jewelry from Genesis Diamonds, or stop by Total Wine & More and pick up her favorite wine or champagne to celebrate the occasion.

This Mother’s Day exceed her expectations. Take it to the next level and give Mom the gift of relaxation, appreciation, and unforgettable moments. She’s spent a lifetime caring for others so make this day extra special to ensure she feels just as cared for in return. Whether near or far, tell Mom you love her by saying a heartfelt thank you for all she’s done. And in June, don’t forget to show some love to Dad on Father’s Day. He’s pretty special, too!
