What Mom wants: Gifting made easy with Airbnb Wishlists?
Plus a bunch of Online Experiences to gift or take together for an extra memorable Mother’s Day weekend!
Manila, Philippines, May 05, 2021 – Most of us would recall the little moments back in elementary school when we proudly presented our mothers with a handcrafted gift for Mother’s Day, often crookedly made out of clay or imperfectly cut out from colored papers, bearing the heartwarming words: “For Mom”. Fast forward to us all grown up – the art of choosing gifts today has become seemingly harder to master, especially when faced with an increasingly wide set of choices.
After a particularly challenging year, Filipinos — moms included — are yearning to travel with their family and loved ones amidst the ongoing pandemic[1]. So why not put those long-lost DIY skills to good use and plan a getaway just “For Mom”? We might not be able to drive mom to the family’s favorite resort just yet, but this means more time to plan her next escapade — and Airbnb may have just the right tools to help you discover the perfect vacation spot!
Get inspiration from Airbnb’s Wishlists
Airbnb has curated a collection of Stays and Online Experiences to inspire your next family vacation this Mother’s Day. Designed for moms looking for a retreat from the everyday bustle and tap into the healing power of nature, Airbnb’s Naturally Zen wishlist features serene, sun-soaked getaways for an unforgettable vacation.
As the desire for fresh air, new experiences, and wide-open spaces far from the frenzy of city life continues to grow among families, why not start curating your very own wishlist with Mom? It’ll be your handy guide to concoct a lovely surprise trip for her once travel restrictions are lifted.
Check out these beautiful Airbnb Stays surrounded by lush greenery that may be worth adding to the wishlist:
Wake up to the breathtaking views of Nasugbu’s rolling grasslands in this modern glass cabin. Situated near the foothills of famous Mount Batulao, this cabin offers sweeping 360-degree views of both mountain and sea.
