Guggenheim Tour

Why not have a cultural Sunday with mom? Book a group tour for two at the Guggenheim, via Gilt City, during which you’ll be guided around the museum, can take in the art and then head to the museum's restaurant, once you're tired from all that walking.

Soothe

A massage is always a good idea, especially one where mom doesn't even have to leave the house. Book any service on the app Soothe—they’ll send over a licensed, certified massage therapist to a home (or hotel suite, office, or anywhere mom might be); customers can select from options including Swedish, deep tissue, sports and more, which can be booked for individuals or couples. The massages can be booked for 60, 90 or 120 minutes.

Wine Country Tours

If mom is in the mood for a day trip and you both happen to really love vino, look into Wine Country Tours, via Gilt City. It includes a tour day drip to wine country in North Fork, Long Island, where you and mom can visit and meet the winemakers at two different wineries, as well as experience tastings and learn about the wines. The tour includes a tasting flight of four wines at each winery, as well as a few snacks. Just a note: You’ll need to book two tours, if you want mom to join you on this boozy trip.
