Sunday, May 12, is Mother's Day; a day to give extra thought to the woman who put you on this earth. What will you make your mother happy? Gifts, relaxation or quality time? Whatever it is, we know where to go!

1. A BRAND NEW YOU

Does your mom sometimes forget to make time for herself? Then take her to Beauty Lounge Amersfoort for a hot stone massage or a relaxing facial. As icing on the cake, you can go sunbathe across the street at Sundays. Koestraat 16A / Koestraat 11

2. NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

Walk into Things to Love and avoid arriving empty-handed or with a cliché gift this year. You will find quality, vintage clothing and home accessories that are just that little bit different. At Tara Buddha you can score spiritual items such as gemstones, incense and insight cards. Sint Jorisplein 30 / Krommestraat 29

3. QUALI-TEA TIME

Did you used to always have a steaming pot of tea waiting for you when you got back from school? Time to turn the tables! At Coffee Corazon you can enjoy delicious high-teas. Or surprise your mom with a luxury surprise menu ín watergate and eponymous Restaurant de Monnikendam. Krommestraat 18 / Plantsoen Oost 2

4. HIGH TEA OR HIGH WINE?

At Sister Margaux , you can enjoy cozy and flavorful wines. Book their 'high wine' package and drink a masterful selection of wines with matching dishes. Are you asparagus lovers? In spring you can enjoy Dutch asparagus with country ham or smoked salmon. Kleine Haag 2
