Five Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Westerville
Mother’s Day is coming up soon and Westerville offers a variety of ways for you to show mom how much you care. Here are our top picks for how to celebrate Mother’s Day in Westerville.
1. Find the perfect gift
Looking for the perfect gift for mom? Look no further than the unique shops and boutiques in Westerville! Head to Talbott’s Flowers and Gifts or to Hoover Gardens and Gift Center to find the perfect floral arrangement for mom. For home goods and boutiques, Megan Lee + Friends, Edwin Loy Home, My Cousin’s Cottage and Abbey Rose Boutique are great local shops to explore. For moms that love to cook, check out A Twist on Olives for a variety of olive oil blends, vinegars, pasta and more. Unique and handmade gifts can be found at Pure Roots, Ohio Art Market and A Gal Named Cinda Lou. On the rare occasion mom gets the chance to read, Birdie Books is Westerville’s indie bookstore and is ideal for bookworms. If you’re looking for something extra special this year, Morgan’s Treasure Custom Jewelry or Westerville Jewelers are sure to impress. Find the perfect gift at any one of Westerville’s shops.
2. Get Creative
With busy everyday life, moms rarely get to tap into their creative side. The new Blend Candle Co. in Uptown Westerville offers the opportunity to walk in and create your own scent, or pick from already poured scents for a great gift. Uptown Art & Clay offers Sip & Create classes where you can bring your own drinks and make something creative to take home. There are a variety of classes to create something from spring gnomes to garden mushrooms, bird feeders and more! Purchase mom a ticket for the class or pick up a gift card for a future class on another day. Instead of buying the traditional bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day, head to the Westerville Florist and check out their in-store BYOB (build your own bouquet bar) featuring seasonal flowers to create the perfect bouquet together.

Start the day by taking mom on a coffee date to one of the many coffee shops in Westerville, including Java Central, Espresso Air, or the new Family Room Café and Bake Shop or Ethos + Co. Cafe. Enjoy brunch at Northstar Café, Jimmy V’s or North High Brewing. Brunch is a new feature to the brewery and they are offering a Bend and Brunch Yoga Class in the beer garden on Mother's Day. Have a glass of wine at Good Vibes Winery or pick up a bottle at Meza Wine Shop.

4. Explore the Outdoors Together
The parks in Westerville this time of year are beautiful, with fresh green grass, blooming flowers and trails for miles. Go on a bike ride with mom through the various trails connecting Westerville parks. Stroll through the gardens at the serene Inniswood Metro Gardens. Walk by the water and lookout for birds along Hoover Reservoir. Plan a picnic in the park. Grab your own picnic basket and pickup “afternoon tea” and some snacks from Asterisk Supper Club. Then head to one of the many nearby Westerville parks to enjoy a picnic in the park with mom. Explore all Westerville parks and trails.
5. Pamper Her
Show mom you appreciate all she does by treating her to a spa day. Relax and trust the professionals at Fantasy Coiffures Salon offering complete hair care and nail care services in the heart of Westerville. Disconnect from the outside world at Press Studio in Uptown Westerville. The studio offers hand and foot therapy treatments and nail enhancements redefining mom’s nail spa experience. For more than just relaxation, Skin Oasis and Driftwood Aesthetics, Spa & Home offer medical grade skin services and products, in addition to massage therapy.
Could your mom use a staycation or a quick get-a-way? Treat her to an overnight stay at The Renaissance Westerville Columbus-Polaris or the Aloft Columbus Westerville. Both hotels are conveniently located with quick access to all Westerville shopping, restaurants and attractions, including Westerville’s historic Uptown district.
