If you want to make the mom in your life smile from the heart on Mother’s Day, simply order a Michigan Bed and Breakfast Association gift certificate.

These beauties are redeemable at any MBBA member B&B, anytime over the next five years. They are same as cash. If the room costs less than the value of the certificate, Mom gets change.

The certificates can be for as much or as little as you wish, $25 and up.

Each certificate is personalized with Mom’s name, your message to her and you and/or your family’s name as the giver. Each is individually signed by the executive director of the association and embossed with its corporate seal.

To recap, you give a gift of luxury and choice — choice of time and place. There are no blackouts dates or restrictions on the certificate’s use.

You can be sure that wherever Mom chooses to redeem your certificate, she is guaranteed first quality. MBBA-member inns are regularly inspected to be sure they meet the association’s high standards of cleanliness, comfort, safety and professionalism.

It can be mailed to you, to your mom or to any address you choose.

Note, a $5 shipping and handling charge covers the postage and the cost of a printed directory of member B&Bs. There are no additional charges. If you’d prefer to order by phone, call 800-575-1610 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., EST.
