Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Pair an Arts Experience with the Perfect Anthem Gift
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re still searching for the perfect gift, we’ve curated a few unique ideas that pair unforgettable live performances with themed finds from Anthem SF. From classical music and Napa Valley escapes to immersive dance performances, these experiences are designed to create memories Mom can unwrap, attend, and remember long after the celebration ends.
Jean-Yves Thibaudet at Stanford LIVE
May 10 | Bing Concert Hall at Stanford
For the mom who loves Pride & Prejudice or Atonement, this elegant afternoon concert is a beautiful way to celebrate Mother’s Day. Acclaimed French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet — featured on the iconic film soundtracks — will perform works by Debussy in the stunning Bing Concert Hall at Stanford.
Turn the outing into a full French-inspired afternoon with lunch near campus or a picnic on the lawn before the performance. To complete the experience, pair the concert tickets with thoughtful Anthem finds like Parisian-inspired treats, silk scarves, candles, or elegant tabletop pieces that reflect the romance and sophistication of the music itself.
Festival Napa Valley’s 20th Season
July 4–19 | Various Wineries Across Napa Valley
For the mom who loves wine, travel, and live arts, Festival Napa Valley offers the perfect summer staycation. Celebrating its 20th season, the festival brings together more than 200 artists across music, dance, culinary events, and intimate winery performances throughout Napa Valley.
From elegant dinners to world-class concerts, the festival blends artistry with everything Napa does best. Make it a full weekend getaway by pairing the experience with a curated Anthem gift waiting back at the hotel — oversized toiletry bags, elevated travel accessories, wine-inspired home décor, or entertaining essentials all make thoughtful additions to the celebration.
Air Between Us: A Vertical Dance Experience at YBCA
May 15–17 | Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
For the mom who gravitates toward immersive and out-of-the-box experiences, Air Between Us transforms the walls of YBCA into a breathtaking vertical dance stage. Presented by Megan Lowe Dances, performers climb, float, and move across the exterior and interior architecture in a performance that quite literally defies gravity.
Pair the evening with a visit to YBCA’s galleries before the show, then continue the theme with an Anthem candle, art book, or modern home piece that captures the creativity and atmosphere of the experience itself.
