If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for something unique to gift the people you love. And, there’s nothing better than a one-of-a-kind, handmade gift. Of course we always think about sending flowers, but what about a beautiful hand-pulled glass flower? Or instead of buying a great vase, why not take your mom to go and make one together? And you can sip Mimosa’s while you’re at it! Check out the great Mother’s Day festivities below.

Make Your Own Glass Flower for Mothers Day

Through Sunday, May 13

Hudson Beach Glass

26 S. Strawberry St.

Philadelphia, PA 19106
(267) 319-1887

$45 | 11 years old and up

I’ve always wanted to try glassblowing. I can’t wait to make a few flowers for the ladies in my life. They have great colors to choose from and the great part is it will only take about 15 minutes! (It will cool overnight and can be picked up the next day)

Insider tip: Still want something delivered to mom? You can also get the flowers delivered for $7 extra!

Mother’s Day Clay & Mimosa Brunch

Sunday, May 13

The Clay Studio

139 N. Second St.  

Philadelphia, PA 19106
(215) 925-3453

$65/ $60 members

If you’re looking for something fun and different to do with mom this Sunday, this may be the place to go. Grab your mom, friend and grandmother and enjoy a catered brunch with mimosas and learning to work with clay. Then you’ll get to create an original piece together to keep for years to come. (Allow 2 weeks for firing, glazing and shipping)

Looking for something original to do for the perfect day with your love? I’ve come up with the perfect date for anyone who loves the arts. It’s a three-part date. Either choose one, two, or if you have the day off to do whatever you want—do all three! Each event offers something completely different which is what makes doing all three so much fun. Enjoy.

Insider Tip: After you’re done with dinner, you may feel the need to work it off! Stop by The Blockley for the Philly Love Roller Party. Yes…roller skating! A bunch of dj’s are spinning, and fellow Creative Amabassador King Britt is headlining!

Anti-Valentine's Day Party  

February 14 | Crane Arts Building | 6-9 p.m.

There will be food by a few of the fabulous, local food truck vendors, and beverages by Philadelphia Brewing Company, Philadelphia Distilling and Barefoot Wines. And, there's no cover!
