We thought outside the box, so you don’t have to

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and we’ve got you covered with some unique excursions and gifts. This year, skip the candles and perfumes. Instead consider treating the family to Mother’s Day Brunch at the Atlanta Zoo while enjoying a day looking over the African Savanna, or visit the High Museum for Second Sunday.

If excursions aren’t her thing or you’re wanting something more affordable, consider this adorable bracelet crafted in your children’s handwriting. For the woman with a green thumb, consider this birth month flower grow kit, which doubles as a fun family activity and great spring décor.
