This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Here are some ways to celebrate in Kansas City.
Some are suited for in-person activities, but we also have some things that will work well if you’re apart from your mom. We’ll continue to update this list, especially if we find Mother’s Day freebies or deals offered in 2024, so be sure to check back.
Mother’s Day Cards
Go with a classic card as a standalone or paired with another token of appreciation. Here are a couple of options that are especially good if you’re on a budget or can’t get to the store.
Greetings Island: Choose from nearly 150 online cards, all of which are FREE. You can send them online or print them out to deliver yourself.
American Greetings: Send FREE digital postcards — everything from funny to comforting.
Flowers and Plants
Flowers are a big Mother’s Day tradition. You can think beyond bouquets or a fresh arrangement. Green plants will last longer than fresh cut flowers and can sometimes be transplanted outside. If your mom has a green thumb for gardening, consider buying vegetable plants for her to tend to this season.
