The perfect gift for mom? To her, it's probably "anything," but we know Mom deserves much better. Instead of (or in addition to) showering her with fragrant bouquets for Mother's Day why not give her a gift that keeps on giving—an artistic local class. Then again, if you must give a gift, there are some last-minute DC-area workshops to fulfill your gift-giving needs.
For Mom: Highway to Hill Spring Class
Mom will learn to make spring-focused arrangements with pops of pink and peach. $75.
For Mom: A Cooking Class from Culinaria Cooking School
Whatever mom's flavor passion—be it barbecue or making pizza from scratch—Culinaria has a class for her. $75 and up.
For You: On The Purple Couch's Mother's Day Chalk Paint Project
Make a gift-able craft this Thursday (May 8) from 5pm-7pm using chalk paint. $75.
And, For You, You Last-Minute Wonder You: Paper Source's Mother's Day Card Making Event
