This Mother’s Day, why not step away from the usual flowers and gifts and give Mom something truly unforgettable? Treat her to a fun experience at the Discovery Shop — where shopping meets impact! It’s more than just picking out something nice; it’s about discovering unique treasures while supporting our vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Plus, you’ll be making memories together.
Ready to make the day extra special? Here are a few themed “make a day of it” ideas that will turn an ordinary shopping trip into an adventure:
1. The Treasure Hunt Challenge
Make it a game and make it fun!
Turn your visit to the Discovery Shop into an exciting treasure hunt! Set a fun challenge with Mom — whether it’s finding the most unique vintage item, the coolest piece of jewelry, or a hidden gem in the home décor section. Add a little friendly competition: give yourselves a budget or a time limit and see who can uncover the best find! When you’re done, unwind and celebrate your victories over coffee or lunch, sharing stories about the items you discovered.
2. Memory Lane Adventure
Take a stroll through the past and share stories along the way.
For the nostalgic mom, take her on a trip down memory lane at the Discovery Shop. Spend the day exploring vintage treasures like old books, styles over the decades, or retro home décor. Pick out something that reminds you both of a special memory you’ve shared — whether it’s a piece of art or a book you loved reading together. Afterward, cap off the day by enjoying a meal at her favorite restaurant, or get creative and cook a dinner at home inspired by the memories your finds sparked.
3. Building the Perfect Dinner Outfit
Turn your shopping trip into a stylish pre-dinner date!
Planning a dinner out with Mom? Why not make a whole day of it by turning the Discovery Shop into your personal boutique! Spend time helping Mom put together the perfect outfit for her evening — whether it’s a chic blouse, a statement necklace, or the perfect pair of shoes. Make a game out of it: see who can find the best combination of pieces that make the best outfit! When you're done, treat yourselves to a lovely dinner and celebrate both your finds and the fun you had along the way.
So Choose the Discovery Shop for Mother’s Day!
Not only will you have a blast hunting for treasures, but every purchase you make helps fund the American Cancer Society’s vital work in cancer research and patient support. It’s a way to show love for Mom and support a cause that touches so many lives.
So, this Mother’s Day, skip the traditional gift and give the gift of experience — with a dash of adventure and heartwarming memories at the Discovery Shop. After all, the best gifts aren’t just found in stores—they’re the ones that create lasting moments together.
