Looking for meaningful ways to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend? Here's eight fun, relaxing and memorable activities to enjoy with Mom—whether she’s into crafting, shopping, outdoors or a bit of everything.
First Things First: Shop Local for Mom
Don’t wait until the last minute—get ahead of the rush with a thoughtful gift from one of Woodbury’s many local favorites. Stop by shops like Patina for unique finds, or pick up a beautiful bouquet from Edible Arrangements, Sweet Peas Floral or Woodlane Flowers. It’s a simple way to support local and make Mom feel extra special.

1. Get Caffeinated
Yes, coffee definitely counts as an activity. Whether Mom’s a latte lover or a matcha fan, Woodbury has a spot for her. Choose from Caribou Coffee (five locations!), Starbucks (seven!), or Dunn Brothers for a cozy coffee date. Want something a little different? Try a refreshing tea or boba from Tii Cup, Niko Niko Boba, Skye Boba Tea or Sencha Tea Bar.
