Where to Go For Mother's Day This Weekend

If you've already exhausted your quota of flowers, cards, and I.O.U's for Mother's Day, planning a special outing can be overwhelming. We dug around and found the best deals and activities to take Mom to on her special day. From cheap jewels to free booze, here's what's happening this weekend.

The Sixth Annual Pre-Mother's Day Jewels and Jazz Extravaganza (Kiini Ibura Jewelry; 388 Myrtle Ave., between Vanderbilt and Clermont Aves.; (718) 858-5195; Saturday from 12:00-8:00 p.m.)

If the dirt-cheap specials on Ibura's beautifully handcrafted jewelry and accessories aren't enough to bring you in, then swing by for live entertainment from spoken word performance artist Gha'il Rhodes Benjamin.

Wine Tasting at the Greene Grape (Greene Grape; 765 Fulton St., between Oxford St. and Portland Ave.; (718) 797-9463; Friday from 5:00-7:00 p.m.)

Looking for the perfect bottle of wine for Mother's Day? Let Mom decide herself! Take her to the Greene Grape's weekly wine tastings, where they offer multiple samples of some of their newest brands in stock and oldest favorites.  With the majority of their wines going for $20 or less, you can walk out with a perfect Mother's day gift that doesn't break the bank.

Brunch Special at Madiba (Madiba; 195 Dekalb Ave., between Adelphi St. and Carlton Ave., (718) 855-9190; Sunday from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

You've probably taken Mom out to brunch for Mother's day before, but not to a place with items on the menu like ostrich carpaccio and Durban bunny chow. The South African cuisine here has gotten rave reviews throughout the neighborhood, and if your mom isn't the most adventurous eater, the free mimosas offered during Mother's Day should make her feeling a little more daring after a few.

Mom: A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps (Greenlight Bookstore; 686 Fulton St., between Ashland Pl. and St. Felix St.; (718) 246-0200; Friday from 7:30-10:00 p.m.)

Enjoy complimentary wine and light snacks at this free event, where StoryCorps founder Dave Isay will read from his book, Mom: A Celebration of Mothers. The reading features a collection of StoryCorps interviews by mothers, about mothers, and will feature a screening of StoryCorps' brand new animation, "No More Questions!"

Beauty Treatments at Cynergy Spa (Cynergy Spa; 87 Fort Greene Pl., between Dekalb Ave. and Fulton St.; (718) 403-9242;  Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.)

Sometimes, nothing says I love you to a mother like dropping her off for the day to go get pampered. With full day spa packages ranging from $190-$550, this popular local spa is the perfect spot to let her feel relaxed and rejuvenated. We recommend the ultimate escape ($350), which includes a one-hour facial, deep tissue sports massage, sea salt hand scrub and foot scrub, and a spa lunch.
