Tips for creating a memorable Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is about celebrating your mother and the role she played in your upbringing; guiding you through the journey of life and spoiling you when needed.
Of course, there are no specific rules on how you should show your mother appreciation for everything she has done for you on Mother’s Day. You’re the one who completely understands your mother and the things that she likes and enjoys. So, if you’re struggling to find the ideal experience, read the article below. You will find a few ideas on what to do for Mother’s Day to help you create a memorable day for your mom.
Buy a meaningful gift
Gifts are always welcomed and appreciated by anyone who receives them. This can be said about moms too, but why not up the tempo by buying a meaningful gift such as an embroidered jewellery. It can be earrings, a necklace or a bangle with her name or initials embroidered on these jewellery pieces. Shopping centres in Cape Town have jewellery stores which offer embroidery services on whatever piece of jewellery you choose.
Get baking
A little sweet something on a special occasion never hurts anyone. Depending on whether your mother loves to bake or not, you can set up a baking experience for both of you. Plan in advance and collect all of the necessary baking ingredients. You can create your own special baked good and name it after your mom and whatever will feel meaningful to her. This can become a little tradition for every upcoming Mother’s Day. If your mother doesn’t necessarily love or enjoy baking herself, you can use this idea but instead of doing it together, you do it for her and simply serve it to her when it’s looking beautiful and yummy.
Take her out for a surprise brunch or dinner
Fortunately, Mother’s Day is always on a Sunday. So, all you need to do is find her favourite eating spot and make a booking for either brunch or dinner. Treat her to her favourite, and even prompt her to try new foods that she can enjoy enough to ask for seconds. Don’t forget to call the place in advance to make a reservation and avoid any disappointments.
Spa day fun day
On this Mother’s Day, take the time to spoil your mom with a spa day date. She will get to be pampered with full-body massages, light meals, snacks, tea, coffee or cold beverages. You can add manicure and pedicure in the mix so that they come back home with colourful and bright nails. End their special day with a dinner paid for by you or a homecooked meal made by you.
Call her off duty
Mothers spend so much of their time taking care of everyone else. You can let her take advantage of Mother’s Day by taking over her duties for the day. Let her rest or spend time focusing only on her favourite hobby. Perhaps, she has been meaning to go somewhere or do something by herself without ever having the time. Let her have her day off, taking care only of herself without having to worry about taking care of laundry or making dinner for the family.
Give her lounge, kitchen or room a facelift
Moms love to share the new things they would love to buy for their kitchen, lounge or room to make it look new or better. Take the initiative to get her exactly, or at least something similar to what she’s been talking about. Whether it’s a new curtain, kitchen utensils or bedding, it sure will lift her spirits and show her that you listen and care for her.
Final thoughts
Moms deserve to be loved and cared for all year round but Mother’s Day is about going the extra mile to ensure that they are happy from within. It doesn’t take much to please mothers, and the simple trick is to pay attention when she talks. From your conversations, you’ll likely derive a perfect idea on what to get her or do for her on Mother’s Day.
