Mother’s Day is this Sunday — but don’t stress if you haven’t finalized the itinerary. There’s plenty of ways to make the maternal figure in your life feel special. Check out these last-minute Mother’s Day ideas around Boston.
For the shopping mama
For the mother whose taste is better than yours, let them pick out their own gifts. The Speedway hosting a Mother’s Day Makers Market , curated by Boston Women’s Market . Expect bouquet building, Lionheart Confections donuts, and a permanent jewelry pop-up shops, plus a raffle benefiting Women’s Lunch Place .
For the dog mom
Saturday, May 13 is National Dog Mom’s Day. Bring your pup to Bone Up Brewing for the Dog Mom’s Marketplace . Shop local vendors, sip beer (for both you and your dog), and even paint your pet .
For the brunch bunch
Cambridge Brewing Company still has a few reservations available , featuring the return of the beloved Hangover Wrap.
For all-day eats
You’ve got two options at The Beehive. Take them to the Queen Bee Brunch for a prix fixe menu and live music from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Or you could stop by for the Mom Supper from 5-10 p.m. and enjoy the a la carte menu + live music from 7-11 p.m. (The third option is to do both, but we recommend a nap in between.) Either way, be sure to snag a reservation .
For the musical mom
Catch a matinee performance of Beetlejuice at the Citizens Bank Opera House at 1 p.m. or see the 6:30 p.m. performance.
For the crowd that prefers a different music scene, head to the Berklee College of Music for a performance by pianist and student, Esli Honore .
