If you’re looking for ways to celebrate the moms in your life this Mother’s Day in Folsom, California, you’re in luck. Whether your mom is all about pampering, brunch, crafts, or just a quiet moment to herself, there’s something in town for everyone. Here’s a lineup of local favorites and a spotlight on the can’t-miss Glam & Glow Event at European Wax Center. Let’s make this Mother’s Day one she’ll remember-unless, of course, she’s too busy being amazing.
Start the Day with a Little (or a Lot of) Glam
Mother’s Day Glam & Glow Event
When: Saturday, May 10, 9am – 1pm
Where: European Wax Center, 2700 East Bidwell St. Suite 300, Folsom, CA 95630
Forget the flowers (well, not really, but hear us out). This year, treat Mom to something that lasts longer than a bouquet: a morning of pampering and a little extra sparkle. The Mother’s Day Glam & Glow Event at European Wax Center is your ticket to self-care heaven. In partnership with Vosswood Permanent Jewelry, this event offers a unique blend of beauty and keepsakes. Think waxing, glowing skin, and the chance to walk away with some permanent jewelry-because sometimes, the best gift is a reason to feel fabulous.
This event is perfect for moms who deserve a little extra attention or for anyone who wants to bond over beauty rituals. Plus, it’s a great excuse to say, “Hey, let’s do something just for us.”
Brunch, Anyone? Because Moms Love a Good Meal
If your mom’s love language is food (and let’s be honest, whose isn’t?), Folsom’s got you covered. Local spots like Land Ocean Restaurant, Plank Craft Kitchen & Bar, and Bacchus House Wine Bar & Bistro are serving up Mother’s Day brunches that’ll make her morning. Think mimosas, eggs just the way she likes them, and maybe a pastry or two. Or three. No judgment here.
Reservations fill up fast, so don’t wait until the last minute. And if you really want to impress, pair brunch with a little something extra-like a handwritten note or a promise to do the dishes. (Yes, even the ones with the weird shapes.)
Crafty Moms, Assemble!
For moms who love to get creative, Folsom is hosting a Mother’s Day Craft Show at Vernon Street Town Square on Saturday, May 10, starting at 11am. It’s a chance to browse handmade goods, pick up a unique gift, or even join in on a craft session. If your mom’s the type who’s always got a project in the works, this is her scene.
Or, head to Cerealism for their Mother’s Day Weekend Craft Sesh. It’s a fun, low-key way to spend time together and maybe make something she’ll actually want to keep. (Unlike that macaroni necklace from third grade.)
Tea Time, Because Why Not?
Sometimes, the best way to celebrate is to slow down. Folsom’s Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea at the Robert Miller Rotary Clubhouse is a sweet, relaxed way to honor the moms in your life. Sip tea, nibble on tiny sandwiches, and enjoy a moment of calm. It’s a little slice of old-world charm right here in town.
If you’re looking for something a little different, check out the Mother’s Day High Tea at Le Macaron French Pastries in nearby Sacramento. Because sometimes, you just need a macaron (or six) to feel truly appreciated.
Get Moving (or Just Sit Back and Relax)
For moms who like to stay active, the Many Oaks Farms Mother’s Day Yoga in the Lavender Field is a breath of fresh air. Literally. Stretch, breathe, and soak in the scenery-it’s a peaceful way to start the day. Or, if running is more her speed, the Mother’s Day 5K at Palladio is a family-friendly way to get moving together.
If your mom’s idea of a workout is lifting a coffee cup, that’s cool too. Maybe just bring her coffee in bed and call it a win.
Gift Ideas That Go Beyond the Usual
Flowers and chocolates are always nice, but if you want to go the extra mile, think about experiences instead of things. A gift certificate to a local spa, a class she’s always wanted to try, or even just a day off from chores can mean the world. Or, if you’re feeling extra, splurge on some permanent jewelry from the Glam & Glow Event-because nothing says “I appreciate you” like something she can wear every day.
And if all else fails, just ask her what she wants. Sometimes, the best gift is the one she actually asked for.
The Takeaway: Make It About Her
At the end of the day, Mother’s Day is about showing the moms in your life that you see them, you appreciate them, and you’re grateful for all they do. Whether that means a morning of pampering at European Wax Center, a leisurely brunch, or just a quiet cup of coffee together, the best way to celebrate is to make it personal.
So, Folsom moms, this one’s for you. You’re amazing, you’re appreciated, and you deserve a day that’s just as special as you are. Now go enjoy it-you’ve earned it.
