Deerhurst Resort Lets Mom Choose How to Spend Her Special Day and Treats You to Some Last-Minute Gift Tips
Muskoka ON, April 7, 2008 – She got stretch marks, lost precious beauty sleep and endured never-ending episodes of “Mr. Dressup” or “Kids in the Hall.”
Just for you.
Thank her this Mother’s Day by letting her wake up at Deerhurst. This classic retreat’s two-night Mother’s Day in Muskoka package includes all the must-haves like a neatly made bed with crisp white linens, a healthy breakfast and the traditional over-the-top Sunday Brunch that includes a chance to win a lavish Deerhurst maple syrup gift basket.
Mom also gets to take her pick of a $100 spa credit for pampering or retail therapy at the freshly renovated Spa at Deerhurst, or a Ladies’ Only golf clinic and a round for two at the Deerhurst Lakeside course.
Her spa treatment options include tropical escapes like a crème fraîche wrap with papaya and pineapple enzymes, or C & Sea, an anti-aging facial enriched with vitamin C and nutrient-rich algae extracts.
She can also choose to stock up on lotions and potions from premium beauty brands like Pevonia.
Mothers who love their greens, or even those who just want to get out there and give it their best shot for the first time, will get plenty of great advice during Saturday morning's session with Deerhurst’s Golf Academy Director Dave Castellan, one of Canada’s Top 50 instructors.
Afterwards she’ll appreciate indulging in play time on one of Muskoka’s most picturesque courses that also tests every club in your bag.
Want to spread a little more love? Deerhurst’s experts share their best twists on those usual M-Day gifts, flowers, chocolate and scents:
FLOWER POWER Blooms don’t have to be big and expensive to wow Mom, says Deerhurst Floral Designer Heather West. “Shop early for the best selection and think about seasonal blooms like tulips or a small, compact bunch in her favourite colour. Even one flower in a vase for her bedside table is perfect.” Give the earth mother seeds and a new container to plant them in. Or if she’s too rushed to weed and water consider an elegant succulent that doesn’t need much TLC.
CHOCOLATE LOVE Is a great way to indulge Mom with several of her favourite flavours, according to Deerhurst Executive Chef Rory Golden. “Less is more. Skip the ordinary drug store boxes and go for chocolates infused with liqueurs, hazelnut, coffee, or even tea or chai. Both truffles and fondue are very easy and fun to assemble using good quality supermarket ingredients and they have that homemade especially for you touch.”
SENSE ABILITY She knows how to get you all riled up, but let her know you’re aware of her sweet side too. Instead of pricey and tough-to-pick perfume consider a heady gourmet treat like Deerhurst’s own wildflower honey. Or, as Spa Director Nicole Verzyden suggests, opt for a different kind of sweet with pretty soaps and candles with an unexpected note like sandalwood or citrus. “Good bath products always work and companies like Aveda make some great, naturally inspired ones.”
GET TO IT From May 9 to 12, Deerhurst’s Mother’s Day in Muskoka package is priced from $215 per room, per night, based on double occupancy and a 2-night minimum. To book, visit deerhurstresort.com/mom or ring 1-800-461-4393. Just don’t procrastinate and make us call your mother.
