Pack up a Park Picnic
This will depend on where you’re located. Here in Ontario, it’s a bit risky planning a day at the park in May.

Don't forget a comfy blanket!
Spa Day at Home
Set up a spa day at home with candles, soothing music, and pampering treatments. You can create homemade face masks, give her a manicure, or even draw a relaxing bath.
Customized Gift Basket
Create a personalized gift basket filled with her favorite things. It could include chocolates, books, a coffee mug, skincare products, or anything she loves.
A Crafternoon
