Aside from the always great and cliche’ weather, a refreshing getaway in San Diego (or stay-cation) is the perfect way to pamper “mom.” For me, I’m looking into specials and packages early to say I Love You on her dedicated day.

Give her time to herself (SOME T-L-C)

Between the city’s coastline, bays and spas,  SD also focuses on health and wellness.

Unwind, rejuvenate, find balance or indulge in a little pampering. Get her a massage, somewhere to do yoga, a face mask, or somewhere to lounge by the pool. A hotel for the weekend is a perfect gift.

Retail therapy

Take your mom shopping, even if it’s just window shopping. A day of quality time buying a new outfit, getting something small for the house, or hanging by the pool is perfect for a present.

Spoil her with a night out

Hotels and restaurants all over the city, maybe a night out to get drinks with the girls, or a romantic dinner with dad. Show her you appreciate all that she’s done for you.
