Your Mom’s life changed the day you were born, and your mom still influences your life every day. It is this special relationship between Moms and children that is celebrated on Mother’s Day – we simply couldn’t imagine our lives without them. And although the number one gift on this holiday is s, we know that she really cherishes time spent together. So why not combine these two gifts – time and s – and give her the most memorable day she’s had in a long time? Here are some Kansas City Mother’s Day ideas, along with a few beautiful suggestions from Tobler’s Flowers.

Does you Mom enjoy art? Take her to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for magnificent works from private collections, and world renowned art institutions; or stroll through the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, featuring such masterworks as those of Jasper Johns, David Hockney and Willem de Kooning.

Or perhaps she would enjoy a leisurely afternoon exploring the manicured gardens, wild meadows, and nature trails of either Powell Gardens or the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the day and have a keepsake for mom. Invite friends and family she hasn’t seen for a while for a truly special day.

After seeing all that art and beauty, Mom is sure to be inspired. Send her home with a gorgeous floral arrangement that will remind her of the artistry. Our Colorburst Bouquet, shown above, will deliver all the color and creativity that she experienced at the gardens.

Take her to the Kauffman Center on May 14 for Kansas City Ballet’s spring production. The Mother’s Day performance is Director’s Choice, a showcase of choreographic masters. Send her home with some elegant orchids to remember this special outing.

Maybe Mom just needs a break! Take her for a manicure and pedicure, and arrange for her home to be cleaned top to bottom while she is gone. Don’t forget to leave a bright bouquet on the kitchen table to welcome her back to her pristine home! Here’s A Hint: If Mom has a few odd jobs and repairs around the house that she has put off, hire a handyman to take care of whatever she needs.

The gift your mom wants the most is the gift of your time – but once you give her that – just add s!
