Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and if you're lucky enough to have a special mom in your life—whether it’s your partner, your own mother, or a friend who’s like family—now’s the time to show your appreciation.

Living here in Glastonbury means we’ve got plenty of local ways to make the day memorable.

Here are some heartfelt, local ideas to help you celebrate close to home:

1. Brunch at a Local Favorite

You can’t go wrong with a classic Mother’s Day brunch! Glastonbury has some amazing options:

Max Fish – A delicious seafood-focused brunch in a beautiful setting.
Sayulita – Trendy, lively, and perfect for a celebratory vibe.
Ken’s Corner Breakfast & Lunch or Lottie's Country Kitchen – A more casual, family-friendly option that never disappoints.

Pro tip: Make a reservation—Mother’s Day is one of the busiest dining days of the year.

2. Flowers from a Local Florist

Skip the grocery store bouquet and go for something truly special:

Keser's Flowers or Blossom Florist offer stunning custom arrangements that will wow any mom.

3. Treat Her to a Spa Day

Give her the gift of relaxation:

Eliana - Del Soul Spa or Liquid Aesthetics in town offer massages, facials, and rejuvenating treatments.

Pair it with a handwritten card to make it a little more personal :)

4. A Walk Through Nature

Sometimes the best gift is quality time. Head to:

Riverfront Park or Addison Bog & Woodlands for a quiet nature walk.
Meshomasic State Forest is great if she enjoys a more adventurous hike.

Bring a thermos of coffee and pastries for a simple but sweet morning outing.

5. Visit the Glastonbury Farmers Market

If she loves fresh produce, handmade goods, or just supporting local, the Glastonbury Farmers Market is always a fun experience. Pick up locally baked treats or plan a picnic using what you find.

6. Local Gifts That Feel Personal

Support Glastonbury’s small businesses while finding something meaningful:

Gotta Have It – A go-to boutique for accessories, fashion, and fun gifts.
The Silver Dahlia – Thoughtful, elegant finds including candles, jewelry, and home accents.
River Bend Bookshop – Add a personal note inside a new read for a sentimental touch.

7. A Simple, Cozy Day at Home

Sometimes, all she wants is a day with no responsibilities:

Let her sleep in.
Take care of the meals.
Have the kids make cards or breakfast.
End the day with a glass of wine and her favorite show.

Being a mom is nonstop. A slow, peaceful day can mean everything.

❤️ However You Celebrate—Celebrate Her Fully

Mother’s Day is all about showing love, and living in a community like Glastonbury gives us so many ways to do just that. Whether you go big or keep it simple, make sure the mom in your life feels seen, appreciated, and celebrated.

Happy Mother’s Day from my family to yours!
