How to Make Your Mum Feel Special on Mother’s Day

Mother’s day is just around the corner and every Mother deserves to be treated with kindness and courtesy. Everyone is different so you’ll need to figure out what makes your Mum happy, does she prefer to spend quality time with you or would she prefer gifts? Would she appreciate a homemade gift or a store bought gift? Once you’ve figured out what makes your Mum truly happy then the rest is simple. Using these tips you can make this the best Mother’s Day she’s ever had.

Make the day all about her, doing one or more of these things will be sure to put a smile on her face:

• Think of her favourite meal, gather the ingredients and surprise her with a delicious meal.
• Put together a collage of past and present pictures from days out, holidays, family meals to reminisce over memories spent together.
• For all the gardening Mums, get some of her favourite plants and flowers and spend some time helping her in the garden.
• Spend an evening by the fire playing board games, eating your favourite foods and watching movies.
• Give her the gift of your time and plan a day out/holiday together for the future.

Gift Ideas:

It’s always nice to spoil our Mum’s on Mother’s Day, however, the gifts don’t have to be expensive as long as a lot of thought has gone into that’s all that matters.

Below are some thoughtful gift ideas you might want to spoil your Mum with:

• Give her a bouquet of her favourite flowers and arrange them in a beautiful vase she can keep forever.
• Have a planner or diary personalised. Giving your Mum something nice to write in will encourage her to document special events and occasions. Include a matching pen to make it even more special.
• Create a hamper of her favourite things. Get a hamper basket and gather a selection of the things she loves, her favourite sweet treats, her favourite perfume, a gift card to her favourite shop and anything else she loves.
• Subscribe to a magazine that’ll arrive monthly or weekly. You’ll pop into her mind when her favourite magazine or flower subscription arrives in the post.
• Give her a locket. Buying your Mum a locket with a picture of you and all your siblings will give her something to cherish forever. She’ll be able to keep you close to her heart at all times.
• Buy her some delicious hand decorated gingerbread biscuits from the Original Biscuit Bakers website and write a lovely personalised message.

Mother’s Day Events

If you’d like an alternative to a gift why not plan an event or a day out to celebrate Mother’s Day. Planning your day around activities you know she’ll enjoy, will definitely make her feel special.

Here are some special activities you and your Mother can enjoy on Mother’s Day:

• Book a spa day. Mum’s always put everyone else before themselves and they definitely deserve to relax. She’ll love being pampered, having a massage and enjoying some afternoon tea.
• Make a slide show or video of all your favourite photos and videos together. Get the family together to laugh, cry and reminisce over all the great memories you’ve shared.
• Treat her to a weekend adventure, go to a nice hotel with bed and breakfast, go hiking, go and see a show in the theatre or anything else you know she’ll love.
