👠Ten Mother’s Day Gifts from Downtown Frederick
With Mother’s day only days away, if you haven’t decided what to get dear Mom, I’ve got some mother-approved suggestions.
1. Of course, I have to recommend buying Mom a house, if she doesn’t have one. Home values have risen a phenomenal 20+% over the last two years! If you aren’t in the market for a house, I’ve got some house-related gift ideas Mom will love.
2. Mom would love some brand new energy-star appliances. Did you know that May is appliance month at most major department and home improvement stores? There are over 70 categories of Energy-Star certified appliances that will save you as much as 30% on your energy bills. Be sure to check with their websites, as well as your electric company website.
3. Mom would love new furniture…somewhere, something needs to be replaced! Ashley’s, Macy’s and Ethan Allen have a huge furniture sale in May. Memorial Day is usually a great time for furniture sales and small kitchen appliance sales. If you’re interested in shopping local, Wolf furniture often has a sale this time of year.
4. How about a shopping day in downtown Frederick? Mom is bound to love something from one of the 100 or more specialty shops. You’ll find one-of-a-kind items: clothing, jewelry, household items, art and wearable art, and much more.
5. Moms always love flowers. How about some landscaping flowers. Here are some local nurseries who are always having sales this time of year. Home Depot, Lowes, and Wal-Mart have a great selection of garden supplies.
6. If Mom has always wanted a water garden, you’ve got to take a trip to Lilypons in Adamstown. If you can’t make the trip, you can order online.
7. Maid service. I don’t need to convince you, do I? This will make her cry, no kidding.
If Mom has the perfect house, then here are two suggestions I guarantee she’ll love, and you’ll be supporting the local economy:
8. Give Mom a gift certificate for anything she wants to do in the Historic District, downtown Frederick. Whether a spa treatment, one-of-a-kind jewelry, a chic new outfit, or a great meal at one of our fabulous restaurants, a gift certificate from Frederick Downtown Development will do the trick.
9. Likewise, a spa day together in downtown Frederick is a great gift. There are 15 or so spas in the downtown district.
10. If you get down to the wire and still don’t have a gift, there’s always chocolate. If you’re downtown, go to Zoe’s Chocolate, The Perfect Truffle, or the Candy Kitchen. She’ll love it!
Then again, there is always a gift from Amazon’s List of Gifts for Mom.
Eight Things Moms and Daughters Can Do Together
- Throw a backyard garden party. The weather can be tricky in the Mid-Atlantic during the first week of May, but it is worth the risk if you have a garden you love. Many spring flowers are just coming into bloom. If you don’t have many blooming, you can always plant some potted flowers. Check out my container garden Pinterest board.
- Have a DIY Spa Da. Manicures, pedicures, hair and make-up…there are many possibilities. A trip to the drug store, to Ulta Beauty supply, or to Walmart is all that’s needed to prepare.
- Have an at home movie night. My favorite mother-daughter movie is “Dan in Real Life”, with Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche. We laugh and cry every time.
- Take a flower arranging class together. You’ll have fun, make memories, and come home with a beautiful flower display.
- Host a mother’s day tea party. Invite a few friends and enjoy mother’s day together. Bring out all the pretty dishes that don’t get used often.
- Do a craft together. DIY at home, or take a class.
- Make a photo album together. Have a wonderful time while you reminisce.
- Go on a shopping spree! What’s not to love about that?
