Hi! This is my first time making an adventure. I want to do one for mother's day. The surprise at the end is my siblings and I revealing to mom we have a vacation planned for her this summer. I'm looking for suggestions for small items and clues that point towards the next item. Any advice would be great as well :)

So far I have a "pail and shovel" with the tag "20 years ago you would have needed 4 of these... and probably a second car to pack stuff in!".

For the final "reveal" I am planning on marking the dates on her calendar and taping a "ticket" to July. The hint leading mom to July on her calendar would be something like "you'll find your mother's day gift in July".
