1) Enjoy a first-time float
Where: Metta³ Rest Spa / 3663 West Broadway, Vancouver BC
Treat her to a truly unique and totally relaxing sensory deprivation experience at a float spa. Unwind, sip on tea, and soak in the serenity as you wait for your float in the peaceful library/waiting room, and then part ways and climb into your own luxurious sensory deprivation float pod, where you’ll experience the feeling of complete weightlessness as you float in water with over 800lbs of Epsom Salt dissolved into it. You’ll leave feeling totally restored and rejuvenated, and she will too!
BONUS: Get flowers and a float in time for Mother’s Day via Metta³ Rest Spa and Mayhew Sherwood Florist, including a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and a 1-hour float session for only $100 ($155 value).

Pre-order your treats and take your mom to a picturesque spot in Vancouver to enjoy a special lunch outdoors. Not sure where to take your tea and treats?

3) Connect over carefully-crafted coffee
Where: Starbucks Reserve Coffee Bar / 2980 Main Street, Vancouver BC
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Vancouver’s first Starbucks location, the city has just opened its doors to an experiential Reserve Coffee Bar – the first of its kind in Canada. Take your coffee-loving mom for an elevated coffee experience, and sip on a unique blend of beans brewed using The Siphon Brewing Method, a mesmerizing and skillful process first patented by a woman!
NOTE: It may take a bit longer to brew your carefully-crafted cup of coffee, but it’ll be well worth the wait.
