Love the list! I've picked up a couple little gifty things for my mom and I will be taking her (AND her mom) to a beautiful winery for breakfast on Sunday morning :)

The last set kind of inspired me. My mom and I are going to Berlin this summer and I'm thinking I might take her to a nice restaurant. I heard there's a "blind restaurant" (one where it's completely dark) and it sounds like a lot of fun!

Quality Time is a win/win. My mom would love to share one of those experiences with me, and I'd love to experience some of them with my kids too!

My mom loves to say that to her everyday is mother's day. We usually go out at least once a week as a mom/daughter day out thing. I'll probably take her out as usual, go shopping, go for lunch, and basically spend the whole day together. Great ideas though!
