Looking for thoughtful ways to celebrate Mother’s Day? Whether you’re planning something big or small, here are gifts focused on connection, joy, and creating memories:
🌸 Puppy Yoga
What’s better than yoga? Yoga with puppies. It’s hard to imagine a more joyful way to spend an hour. Many local studios and shelters offer pop-up puppy yoga events where you can stretch, laugh, and maybe even meet a furry friend looking for a forever home. Check out Puppy Yoga Club, which has studios nationwide.
🌸 House Cleaning Service
Sometimes the best gift is a break from the to-do list. Hiring a cleaning service for a loved one (or treating yourself) is a beautiful way to say, “You deserve to relax.” We highly recommend Figueroa’s Maintenance Services. This family-owned business works quickly and efficiently to make each room sparkle. Tell Ana we sent you!
🌸 Mahjong Lessons
Learning something new together can create lasting memories. Try mahjong lessons to learn wonderful mix of strategy, conversation, and tradition. Try Modern Mahj, we can vouch for Andie Weinstein, the founder and lead instructor – she taught us both to play!
🌸 A Scenic Hike
Fresh air, good conversation, and time away from the usual routine can feel like a real gift. Whether it’s a gentle nature walk or a more challenging trail, hiking together gives space for meaningful talks or comfortable silences. While Runyon Canyon is popular, we like to take the path less chosen…check out Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook (and the trail behind it that leads to the Kenneth Hahn Park if you’re up to it).
🌸 Breakfast Burrito Date
Sometimes simple is perfect. Grab breakfast burritos from a favorite spot and sit outside in the sunshine. No reservations, no fancy outfits — just time spent savoring the morning together. Try Sobune or Cofax, you can’t go wrong with either.
🌸 Prepare a Meal Together
Of course, you’ll handle the shopping and cleanup but enjoy the time cooking together. Put on a great playlist and start chopping! Need inspiration? Check out some of our favorite recipes here.
🌸 A Keepsake
If you’ve waited until the last minute or if you’d rather give a “real” present, how about something created by a local? Check out the Riddick Artisan Boutique on May 10 from 12:30-5:30. Find out more about the boutique on Instagram
