The Austin Woman staff love to spoil the women-identified folks in their lives.

Having lived in the Texas Hill Country for more than 15 years now, it’s hard to pick one experience to share with your mom on Mother’s Day. There are so many to choose from! My mom has always loved visiting Fredericksburg, Texas, and who wouldn’t? There are more than 60 wineries and, of course, you can’t leave out the Main Street shopping and amazing restaurants. If you’re looking for an all-in-one Hill Country weekend getaway to pamper Mom, I would try the Hill Country Herb Garden in Fredericksburg. They have a great spa, restaurant, charming cottages and lush herb garden. It’s that perfect blend of relaxation, great food, beautiful, natural surroundings and only a few blocks away from all the Main Street boutiques.

I am a big believer in gifting experiences or things that make someone’s life easier. I am a huge fan of Zen Blend Mind + Body Spa, which is definitely my husband’s go-to gift for me. I’ve received some of the best massages I’ve ever had there, and it’s perfect for a short escape from the family. If you’re wanting to splurge, you can’t go wrong with a day pass (or even better, an overnight stay for one!) to Miraval Austin Resort & Spa. I think an opportunity to relax away from home, kid-free, is one of the best things you can gift to a momma. Something I haven’t tried but have heard amazing things about (and asked for myself this Mother’s Day) is a gift certificate to All the Small Things—a mom-run professional organizing company that is sure to make any mom’s day-to-day easier!
