Like mom always says, the best Mother's Day gift is some quality one-on-one time. In lieu of outlet shopping, we've rounded up fifteen better places to spend the day: mom-friendly spas, nail salons, and blowout chains. If you're going to be in the 'burbs for her special day—or if the Spa at Trump has no available massages for Sunday—consider booking an appointment for a future date. Just don't forget the card.
