Mother's Day is almost here. It can be hard to know what to say and do for mom on a day that's all about her, but it doesn't have to be! Below are our top picks for celebrating Mom in the best way possible.
Give mom a day at the spa.
A spa day is the perfect way to show mom that you appreciate her. Whether she wants a relaxing day of pampering or a fun day with the family, there are many different types of spa packages available. A simple facial might be all she needs for a great Mother's Day treat, or you could plan an entire afternoon at the local spa complete with manicures and pedicures.
A more personalized approach would be to create your own gift basket filled with goodies like bath salts, scented candles and bubble bath--all things that will help her relax after a long week!
Surprise her with brunch in bed.
Surprise Mom with a special breakfast in bed! This is one of the most thoughtful and romantic things you can do for your mom on Mother's Day. Bring her favorite breakfast foods, like pancakes or waffles, fresh fruit and OJ. Then make her breakfast in bed for her to enjoy while she reads the paper or watches TV with you nearby (and maybe even give her flowers).
Take her on a special date.
Take her out for a meal.Go to a show.
Go to the movies.
Go to a concert (or just listen to music together at home).
Take your mom on an adventure! For example, if she loves nature, take her hiking or swimming; if she loves art and culture, go see some exhibits with her; if she's into fitness, take part in some outdoor activities like biking or running...the possibilities are endless!
Surprise her with a visit from friends or family members who live far away.
You don't have to be a mom to appreciate the power of a surprise visit from loved ones, but it's especially nice if you are. Surprise Mom with the gift of time: Have someone she knows come by just to see her and spend time together; it will make all the difference in her day!
Celebrate mom by donating to a cause she cares about.
Mother's Day is about celebrating moms, but you can also celebrate by donating to a cause that she cares about. If your mom has a favorite charity or organization, consider giving them a gift this Mother's Day. You can also choose an organization that matters to both of you. Maybe there is a cause that both of you are passionate about--like helping animals or saving the environment--and this would be an excellent way for both of you to give back!
Write her a love letter and deliver it with flowers or chocolate for her treat.
If you're feeling stuck on what to get your mom for Mother's Day, consider writing her a love letter instead of buying her flowers or chocolate. It's an old-fashioned gesture that will make her feel special. In your letter, express how much she means to you and why she is such an important person in your life.
So, to all you moms out there who have done so much for us, we want to say: Happy Mother's Day! We love you and are grateful for all that you do.
