Mother’s Day Tea Time
Celebrate Mother’s Day with an elegant afternoon tea experience.
- The Cake Bake Shop in Carmel is offering Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea from May 4-11, 2026. The experience is listed at $95 per person and takes place at The Cake Bake Shop – Carmel. Reservations are recommended for this popular seasonal tea.
A Spa Day for Mom
For moms who would love a quiet day to recharge, a spa gift card or day pass can make the holiday feel restful and personal.
- Woodhouse Spa has Indiana locations in Carmel, Fishers, Indianapolis and Zionsville. The Carmel location is promoting Mother’s Day gift cards and limited-time spring packages designed around renewal, relaxation and a fresh glow. Because packages and pricing can vary by location, check your preferred spa location before booking.
- The Conrad Spa Indianapolis offers a downtown spa setting with curated treatments at 50 W. Washington Street on the sixth floor. The spa menu lists wellness day passes for non-hotel guests at $75, granting access to the spa, pool and fitness center. Spa appointments should be scheduled in advance, and guests should confirm current day-pass availability and amenities before visiting.
- If a full spa outing is not in the budget, consider creating an at-home spa day for Mom. Decorate the bathroom with candles and flowers, play soft music, and fill a basket with bath salts, bubbles, face masks, lotion and a favorite magazine or book. Add a simple snack menu, fresh fruit or tea, and let her relax without needing to plan a thing.
