San Diego’s Best Ways To Celebrate Mother’s Day At Home
With our new #quarantinelife making it hard to remember what day of the week it is, it can be easy to forget that Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday – but don’t let it happen!
While the celebration is sure to be low key this year, these San Diego eateries and shops are offering Mother’s Day specials to ensure mom still gets spoiled on her special day.
‘Pampering Kits’ from The Gluten Free Baking Company
In honor of Mother’s Day, The Gluten Free Baking Company is offering cookie kits, pizza kits, and pampering kits to treat mom on her special day. The kits are available for pre-order and can be picked up on Saturday, May 9.
The pizza kit includes a par-baked crust, cheese, and tomato sauce (vegan options are available,) and costs $20, while the cookie kit, which costs $13, includes the makings for classic sugar cookies, along with fun mix-ins.
For those looking for a gift to accompany the baking kits, The Gluten Free Baking Co. has curated a pampering kit full of locally crafted goodies.
