This Mother's Day, treat your mom to an experience!

One of my favorite Mother's Day gift ideas, is to gift an experience that you can enjoy together with your mom. These are a few of my local favorites:

Lunch at Pickity Place: In 1786, a little red cottage was built in the back woods of Mason, NH. Years later, in the 1940s, this cottage became the inspiration for the illustrations in the Little Red Riding Hood Golden book. Pickity Place serves a 5-course lunch packed with herbs, vegetables, and flowers that they grow in their gardens. Reservations are recommended, but come early or stay late to explore their shop and gardens. Pickity Place should be on your bucket list this spring.

A concert at Bank of NH Pavilion: A concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH is a favorite summer tradition. Grab an early dinner nearby on the lake or join the tailgating festivities.

Lavender Fields at Pumpkin Blossom Farm: The Lavender Fields at Pumpkin Bloom Farm in Warner, is one of my mom's favorite summer destinations. The lavender blooms in July, so gift your mom a trip there this summer. Bring a picnic lunch and sit amongst the lavender, for a perfect summer experience. In the meantime, try their lavender simple syrup, or roll-on essential oil, which we now stock at Homebody.

Shopping & Brunch: Treat your mom to a Homebody gift card and a morning out in downtown Concord! We love brunch at Friendly Toast or Street, and a treat or coffee at Revelstoke and Crust + Crumb.
