Hot Hotel & Spa Get-aways Make Great Gifts for Mothers + Fathers Day, Bridal & Grads!

Sorry this is LATE! It was scheduled for 3 days ago and poof vanished till I realized it was supposed to have run by now. If your Mothers Day gift search is still unfinished or unfulfilled, check out these cool places to check out. Sometimes a getaway/vacay is the best gift you can give a Mom. Also if you have to take the kids, make sure you book out a babysitter a couple of times too!

When looking for gifts for that special someone, you might not have the actual gift in hand when you give a card to the recipient. It might be a color they need to select; a gift card or a smartphone or money towards the smartphone of one’s choice. There are lots of options for gifts, but nothing beats the gift of a vacation! Whether it’s a great trip outside the US or one closer to home, there’s a lot of reasons to give the gift of getting away particularly if it’s a location that allows for “me” time and “we” time.

Here are some interesting places I found to go. Some involve fitness as key element, others are less focused and more flexible.
