This Mother’s Day, go beyond traditional gifts and give the St. Louis mom (or mom-like figure) in your life an unforgettable experience that she’ll cherish for years to come. Whether it’s relaxation, adventure, or creativity she craves, there’s something on this list to suit every mom’s interests and preferences. After all, the best gifts are the ones that create lasting memories and bring joy to the ones we love.
Treat her to a luxurious spa day at a local spa. Let her unwind with a rejuvenating massage, refreshing facial, and manicure/pedicure combo. It’s the perfect opportunity for her to relax and recharge. Try one of three Morgan Ford Massage & Spa locations.
If she loves to cook or wants to learn some new culinary skills, sign her up for a cooking class. St. Louis offers a range of classes, from gourmet cuisine to baking and pastry making. Fennel Cooking Studio in midtown is one of the newest, with lots of buzz over chef/owner Jackie Price’s approach and lovely space. Or try one of stalwart Kitchen Conservatory’s classes in their new snazzy location in a former bowling alley in Brentwood.
Take her on a wine tasting tour of some of the finest wineries of Missouri. Enjoy scenic vineyard views while sampling a variety of locally crafted wines. Check out 7 Wine Trails to Discover in Missouri for ideas.
For the creatively inclined mom, consider booking an art workshop where she can explore her artistic talents. From painting and pottery to photography and sculpture, there are plenty of classes available to inspire her creativity. Check out the extensive Creative Guide by St. Louis Magazine.
Treat her to a peaceful outdoor yoga retreat in one of St. Louis’s beautiful parks or gardens. Surrounded by nature, she can rejuvenate her mind, body, and spirit with guided yoga sessions and meditation practices. Joy of Yoga and Blue Sky Yoga both have extensive offerings of classes, workshops and events. Or schedule a Breathwork session with Heather Hays, the Breathwork Lady.
Delve into the rich history of St. Louis with a guided historical tour of the city’s landmarks and attractions. Learn fascinating stories and explore iconic sites, neighborhoods, and off-the-beaten-path locations. Two options are the SEE-STL Tours by the Missouri Historical Society and tours by the Landmarks Association of St. Louis.
Treat her to a luxurious staycation at a boutique hotel in St. Louis. Book a stylish room with all the amenities, indulge in room service or dine at the hotel’s restaurant, and enjoy a relaxing getaway without having to travel far from home. Consider the gorgeous 21c Museum Hotel, which exhibits art of the 21st century and has a magnificent restaurant, Idol Wolf.
