Mother’s Day is right around the corner—and if you’re in Chandler, you’ve got plenty of ways to make Mom feel like the queen she is. Whether you’re keeping it low-key or going all-out, Chandler has brunches, boutiques and bonding time just waiting to happen.
Brunch first, questions later
Start the day off with something delicious. George & Gather is a solid choice if you want something a little fancy—think shareable plates stacked with goodness and cocktails that taste like heaven. If Mom’s more into relaxed patio vibes, The Living Room in Downtown Ocotillo delivers with flatbreads, mimosas and sunshine. And if comfort food is more her jam, hit up Eggstasy or Over Easy for waffles, Bennies, or one of those glorious breakfast sandwiches that requires two hands and zero shame.
Enjoy a spa day together
You really can’t go wrong with gifting Mom some serious chill time. Book a massage at The NOW Massage (the aesthetic alone is calming), or a glow-up facial at Uptown Medispa Chandler. If you’re building a DIY spa day, check out Palette Collective—they’ve got all kinds of wellness pros under one roof so you can mix and match whatever Mom’s feeling.
Shop, stroll, repeat
Sometimes the best gift is just spending time together, and Chandler is full of fun places to wander. Downtown Chandler has got a charming, local feel—pop into Blue Planet Outdoors, snack on something from d’Vine Gourmet, and don’t miss the art at The Vision Gallery. Or go big at Chandler Fashion Center or The Shoppes at Casa Paloma, where the mix ranges from stylish to totally splurge-worthy.
Get a little messy (in the best way)
Want to get creative together? Head to Burst of Butterflies, where you can paint pottery, pour candles, or even try your hand at glass fusing (bonus: you’ll both walk away with something cute and handmade). Or go full Pinterest with a DIY decor workshop at AR Workshop—rustic signs, cozy vibes and likely a few paint smudges on your jeans.
Take a scenic stroll
After all that eating and treating, a peaceful stroll might be the move. Veterans Oasis Park is super underrated—there’s a little lake, plenty of trails and that peaceful desert quiet that just hits different. Tumbleweed Park is also lovely for a chill wander, or head downtown for a fun mural walk (bonus: built-in photo ops).
End on a sweet note
Cap off the day with dessert! If she’s into hot-and-cold combos, Dulce Churro Café has cinnamon-sugar churros and soft serve that hit the spot. The Paleta Bar is customizable popsicle magic, and The Screamery does small-batch ice cream that’s totally worth the hype. Want something playful and photo-ready? Snowtime or SomiSomi have the cutest (and tastiest) treats in town.
