Something about celebrating Mother’s Day with a family brunch rubs me the wrong way. I can listen to my kids whine while I cut up their pancakes the other 364 days of the year. Here are some gifts that say “We love you”without testing your sanity. It’s a little early, but you can start hinting (or flat out demanding!) now:
1 A Spa Mama option at Spa Space
Try the Rose Petal Spa Day Package, which includes full-body grapeseed scrub, rose oil aromatherapy massage, rejuvenating facial, Rose Petal manicure and pedicure. 4 1/2 hours; $350. (Spaspace.com)
2 Specialty wine boutique Que Syrah
This Lakeview boutique makes beautiful, personalized gift baskets with handpicked wines and accessories based on personal preference with choices for any budget. (Quesyrah.com)
3 Benefit Cosmetics
A makeup application gift certificate is the perfect gift. Moms can update their look at a variety of Chicago area locations with a makeover that comes with $50 worth of product of their choice. $50. (Benefitcosmetics.com)
