Does yoga or brunch sound fun to you and the mom in your life? How about wandering around the local farmers market and showing off your culinary skills? We have listed ideas for an urban outing in the Magic City this Mother’s Day weekend.

Urban Outings in the Magic City:

Plan a Farmer’s Market theme day

On Saturday, spend the morning strolling around Pepper Place Farmers Market or Birdsong Farmers Market. While you’re there, buy ingredients for a special ‘Farmers Market dinner’ with fresh ingredients from your local farmers. She will love supporting local and spending quality time with you.

 

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: Bogg Bag Tote (any size). Mom is going to need a cool tote for those dinner ingredients and other fun finds at the market! Made from EVA foam, Bogg Bags are waterproof, easy to clean, and will hold up for all of her adventures. That being said- they are the go-to tote for busy Moms! 

 

Eat local at a Mother’s Day Brunch 

Treat Mom to brunch at one of Birmingham’s delicious eateries. Here are some of our favorites that will warm your soul, fill your tummy and deliver Insta-worthy pics. Plan ahead for this as they may have a special menu or may take reservations.

 

• The Essential, downtown. The Brioche French Toast is jaw-dropping divine. Afterwards walk along the historic cobblestone streets of Morris Ave and visit the other local businesses.

 

• Avondale Common House, Avondale. Outside patio seating, live Jazz, and good eats- it doesn’t get much better than this. 

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: Women’s Gresham Maui Freshwater Pearl Bracelet. These are perfect dressed up + adorable in photos.

 

Yoga + Spa

Start the morning with a rejuvenating Vinyasa Flow at the Yoga Lab. After, head next door and surprise her with a facial from our friends at Fancy Face Facial Bar. You will leave feeling renewed, refreshed, and ready to take on the day.

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: Women’s On Cloud 5 are a perfect shoe to slip on after a workout and to go around town. Light as clouds- they will keep her comfortable + cool wherever the day takes her. 

 

Support local artisans and businesses

Brews and art more her speed? On Saturday May 7th, Cahaba Brewery is hosting a Mother’s Day Market. There will be over 50 vendors on site including artists, makers, beer, and food. There will also be live music, and obviously- all of the pups!

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: Birkenstock Women’s Arizona Soft Footbed Sandals are a perfect sandal for days at the brewery and market. Style + comfort is key here.

 

Relax and enjoy a sunset over The Magic City

Whichever day adventure you choose, whether it’s in the city or the great outdoors, end the day with a picnic dinner and sunset view over the city at Vulcan Park. It’s magical. 

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: Nomadix Festival Blanket in Palms Night is the perfect blanket for a picnic + lounging at the park. With an adorable soft plush top and water-resistant base, this blanket will keep you comfortable + clean. Plus the print is a fan favorite house plant- need we say more?
