Last-Minute Philly Gifts for Mom

For the Mom who won’t leave the kitchen

June classes are now available at COOK, a Rittenhouse epicurean haven and demonstration kitchen.

Grab an online gift certificate in any denomination and email that voucher to your mom within 24-hours. Bam – no Hallmark card required. Most classes with top, award-winning chefs and other “Philebrities” are under $200 but hurry – historically they sell out quickly (and they’re non-refundable).

For the Mom who likes to ‘get stoned’

It’s not what you think…At Old City’s Terme Di Aroma, a holistic day spa and sanctuary, a warm stone massage will set you back just $100. It’s an hour of bliss for mom. This popular, therapeutic treatment blends the penetrating heat of warm volcanic stones with therapeutic movements of soothing Swedish massage techniques and puts the kibosh on all stressors. It feels good not just on the table, but for days later too! Convenient E-gift certificates available online here too!

For the mom who digs tech, or
pretends to

iPhones, iPads and other devices are great but unless mom knows how to navigate through the features of her latest tech toy, it will inevitably be one mighty

expensive paperweight.

Springboard Media provides

one-to-one introduction for mom’s first Apple product or an advanced look into any of the Apple applications, Best of all, they’ll design a custom lesson for her and answer all of her burning questions.

Their expert staff is knowledgeable, patient and eager to pass on their know-how to help mom improve her productivity or master her selfie filters. 2019 Walnut Street and Media/Exton.

For the drama mama

Walnut Street Theatre is set to expand and groundbreaking will likely be in 2020. Watch the virtual walkthrough video here. You can purchase two types of gift certificates online. Tix-for-Two which is good towards any Mainstage or Independence Studio on 3 performances (valid for the entire 2019 season.) Or opt for a Walnut Street Theatre Gift Card – this option allows mom to choose how she’d like to redeem it – for individual tickets, subscriptions, Theatre School classes, and even concessions and gift shop purchases.

Not feeling any of the suggestions above? That’s okay.
I really like just about every uncommon gift here. Also, The Rittenhouse Square Fine Craft Fair is happening today through Sunday.
