The weather is warming and Mother’s Day is coming up, quicker than you think. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can be criminally under-appreciated days after leaving the nest. There’s an expectation amongst many do go above and beyond for anniversaries, birthdays, valentines, heck people plan their Thanksgiving dinners and Halloween costumes months in advance. But what about the rents? Without them there is no you, both physically, yes, but also the person you have grown into today. We think one day of appreciation just simply isn’t enough, but if you’ve only got one day to spare, make sure it’s a good one, here’s to you, Mom!
This year is your year to go all-out, show some serious appreciation for those who have had your back in your life, whether that’s mom, dad, an aunt or uncle, grandparent or someone else, no matter who raised you, raise a glass to them this May, and treat them just as well you do your friends or significant other, because they’ve earned it. If you’re struggling for ideas, Downtown Hamilton has so many events, specials and giveaways on to help get your mind whirring!
Giveaways at The Brow Room and Conversate Steak & Seafood
Let’s talk about the best stuff, giveaways! We love it when our businesses give back to the Downtown Hamilton community, and we’re stoked to share that The Brow Room and Conversate Steak & Seafood both have Mother’s Day themed giveaways running on their social media platforms!

Mom’s Escape Free with Escape Manor!
Escape Manor is allowing Mom to escape for FREE this Mother’s Day with code FREEMOM when booking (minimum of four, one use per experience). There’s nothing like an escape room to provide some claustrophobia and a reminder of your younger weaponised incompetence to get mom into boss mode and carry the team to victory. After a night of escaping, you’ll have to buy mom the Escape Manor Mother’s Day feature cocktail, the Cherry Gin Sour! Bookings are limited so make sure to book as soon as you can.
