Ideas for mom's birthday?

cornpop311, What about a guided tour through a museum you both have never been too and a nice lunch or dinner in the city? You could also fit shopping in as well since that's what she suggested

I think a massage would be great. Call around and tell them what you're after - it might be a "couples" massage at billing, but they don't have to do anything romantic.

There might be other nice treatments, like a facial or hair blowout or just something to pamper her/both of you that they offer.

Does she like to read? Bookstores often have author readings on the weekend. This would take incredible luck to have it happen that day and be an author/topic she's interested in, but who knows? You're in a real city so I fantasize about all the awesome stuff.

I think a pamper day would be a good idea, many spas will book massages for groups and everyone goes in with different person. You could make a day out of it, massage, facial, pedicure (since she enjoys that), etc.

You're in Philly, right?

Don't know if she's been on any of these, but they may be fun.

I know your asking for experiences over gifts but I wanted to share this with you for the future. I bought my mil this for her birthday one year. Her mother passed away before we met. She was incredibly close with her mother and talks about her often. I found a card that her mother signed "I love you." This is what I had inscribed on her necklace. I had great experiences with this shop. My mil loved it and wears it often.
