If you’re planning to spoil your mum rotten this Mother’s Day but don’t know what to do or where to start, then we have a few suggestions to make your mum feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
Whip up your mum’s favourite breakfast this Mother’s Day to spoil her when she wakes up. Whether she’s a sucker for pancakes or likes the traditional bacon and eggs, she’ll love that she won’t have to lift a finger to get her favourite breakfast. Display her breakfast treats on a tray with a few flowers and maybe even a glass of something fizzy if you really want to do something special.
You could buy your mum a trip to the spa for a pampering day out, or you can bring the spa to her! Set up a foot spa, get her a face mask, give her a manicure, and run her a hot, relaxing bubble bath with soothing bath salts so she can sit back and relax – a perfect opportunity for you to do the chores she usually does!
Speaking of doing chores, one of the simplest things you can do is give her the time to do what she really wants to do. Whilst you clean, cook, or do the laundry, let her catch up on her soap operas, spend time with Dad, focus on one of her hobbies, visit a friend, or let her start reading that book that’s been on her shelf forever.
Receiving or giving homemade cards and gifts is always a touching moment as it shows you have put great thought and personalisation into making the item. Popular homemade crafts for Mother’s Day include trinket or keepsake boxes, jewellery, and wall art.
Another way to show you care is by cooking her favourite meal and getting everyone together to eat as a family. Lay the table with a pretty table cloth, get out the fancy plates and crockery, maybe even use the champagne flutes she only uses at Christmas or when special guests arrive. To make the experience feel even more decadent, buy or make a table centrepiece to make her feel truly special.
It doesn’t matter what you end up doing because there is little in life that Mum treasures more than spending time with her children. Whether you stay in and watch TV together, go for a picnic or a walk, or do something a bit bigger like go on a shopping spree, have an afternoon tea at a fancy restaurant, or go to the theatre, she’ll love that you’re doing it with her. You could even ask Mum what she would like to do on Mother’s Day – it is her day, after all, and she might have something in mind already.
