Spending time with mom is crucial whether you are young or an adult. Time with mom can never be replaced, but sometimes the traditional Sunday brunch gets little old. So you may be thinking of other things to do with your mom.

Some things may take more planning than others, but there are a ton of different and unique things to do with your mom ranging from expensive to inexpensive depending on your budget and style.

Picnic Outside

Now this may be geared more towards the moms with younger kids, but even adult kids can plan a nice picnic outside with mom.

If you have adult kids, this may be a great nostalgic way of spending time with mom. Reminding her of the days of young kids running around outside during picnics or pretend play.

Picnics outside can be casual like snacks and sandwiches, or they can be extravagant like a tea party or mimosas with some delivery take out brunch meals.

Grab this beautiful picnic towel too. This will add a flare of elegance to the outdoor picnic that moms will love. This towel is also super easy to shake off and clean, plus it is lightweight and so soft! Save 15% too with code MAMABEAR15 at checkout.

This is the thing to do with your mom no matter what the age or budget you have. She will love the quality time and nostalgic factor of a picnic outside with her kids.

DIY Spa Day

Another thing you can do whether you have young kids or adults is to do a mini at home spa day with mom.

If you have the budget, you could book a spa day at a local fancy resort and treat mom to a major pamper session.

But if you are looking for more of some thing to do with your mom together, then a DIY home spa day just might be the perfect at home pamper session.

You could get items like face masks, pedicure scrubs, nail polish, eye masks, etc all at a local Target or Sephora. They make incredible masks and spa day essentials at many retail stores now.

You can even get comfy soft robes, socks and towels and really boost up the spa day experience with mom.

You could even gift mom a facial roller inside a gift basket to go with the theme of the day. These facial rollers from Elixir Herbs are so pretty and if you place them in the fridge, they add a nice cooling element to promote circulation, lymphatic drainage, and skin elasticity too! Snag this item for 15% off using code MAMA at checkout.

This is the thing to do with mom if your mom loves (or needs!) a good pamper day! Plus it is something you can both do together no matter what age!

Go on a Walk/Hike

Getting outside with your mom is something that some people either love or hate. But that doesn’t mean you have to pack an overnight camp sack and take that adventure.

You can just take a leisurely walk with your mom while you two really connect and talk. Sometimes it is easier to have a one-on-one heart-to-heart talk when you are walking side by side instead of facing each other.

This way you both are getting some nice fresh air, exersice and spending some quality time together.

My mom and I love going for walks together and even when i had my daughter, we would put her in the stroller and just walk and chit chat. It was great quality time for the both of us.

BUT don’t forget the water! Just because you aren’t hiking up a mountain together (which you totally could pack up and take a hike together if you both are into that), does not mean you won’t get dehydrated, especially if you are out walking for awhile.

My suggestion, get a water bottle that will keep you water cold. Don’t just grab a plastic water bottle and call it a day. Chances are that water bottle will warm up in the sun then you are drinking hot water instead of nice cool refreshing water.

I love my Hydroflask water bottle. I use it daily and even my kids love theirs too! I actually even have extras at my house for people to use when they visit. Plus these water bottles are so sturdy and durable (even when dropped!).

Make Something Together

You can take one of those Paint & Sip classes where you drink wine and paint a photo together (which is so fun by the way!). Or you can even just make something together at home.

You can craft some cute t-shirts together or matching tote bags. I love creating unique craft items using my Cricut machine and design space! My mom and I have come up with some cute stuff we’ve made for each other!

It is also a great thing to do with your mom if you are stuck home or its bad weather outside. It is also so fun to create and envision something and make it come to life together!

It is also something you can use long after your fun day with mom.

Take a Class Together

Now I’m not talking, “bring your mom to school day” type thing. I’m talking more like a paint class, cooking class, design class, exercise class, etc.

Something the two of you can do together and spend time learning something new. It can bring laughs and great memories for years to come.

There are even companies that will send you a box with all the things you need in order to “take a class” at the comfort of home.

CraftBox is a craft box subscription for kids but as a mom you can bond and this can be a fun experience for you as the mom to do with your kids.

CrateJoy is another subscription box company with tons of different boxes ranging from crafting boxes for adults to wine boxes, cocktail boxes, book boxes, etc. There is a box for everyone!

There are ways and things to do with your mom that do not have to take up much time and money. What your mom will remember is the time together and memories made with you!
