One of the reasons I focus on simplicity, is to make space for the important relationships in our lives. This Mother’s Day, there are countless ways to say “thank you” to the special mother or mother-figure in your life. Whether your relationship with Mom is warm and close or strained and distant, there’s no better time of the year to really show your mom just how much you appreciate all she does. Or if like me, your Mom is no longer with us, you can show someone else that you look up to your appreciation. Maybe it’s a special aunt or a good friend.
From unique gestures and personalized gifts to heartfelt words of gratitude, here are the best ways to show your love and express your appreciation this Mother’s Day.
1. Flowers
Flowers and gardening are one of the absolute best approaches to demonstrate your affection and admiration to Mom on her extraordinary day. Any blessing of nature – whether it’s a little potted plant, a bunch of crisp cut blooms, or even a convenient living wall of greenery – will bring a smile to your mother’s face, so why not give flowers for Mother’s Day?
Not exclusively will the blessing of blossoms give her the beautiful sight of nature, but, it’s likewise an action that Mom can appreciate throughout the entire year. With gardening, she can invest energy in nurturing plants and watching them develop, creating an outstanding and profoundly close-to-home association with her nursery.
2. Surprise Her With Breakfast In Bed
Breakfast in bed is a classic Mother’s Day treat that many of us grew up with. Certainly, it’s one of the easiest and most meaningful ways to treat Mom on her special day. Whether you cook her favorite breakfast item or buy her a bouquet of breakfast pastries, breakfast in bed is a special gesture that Mom is sure to love and appreciate.
Even if Mom is not a morning person, a warm, home-cooked breakfast in bed will be a sure way to put a smile on her face.
3. Give Her A Luxurious Spa Day
A luxurious spa day is a perfect way to give Mom a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you opt for a manicure or a facial, massage, or body wrap – these types of treatments will give Mom an opportunity to pamper herself.
Even better, if there’s a spa or a wellness center near you, why not treat Mom to a package complete with a relaxing massage, sauna, and pool? After a full day of self-indulgence, Mom will come home feeling refreshed and relaxed.
4. Put Your Writing Skills To Work
Writing is a great way to share your feelings with the people you love and Mother’s Day is the perfect time to express your appreciation of Mom through your words. If you have a knack for writing, consider penning down a poem, a special note, or even a heartfelt letter outlining all that your mother means to you.
This might even be an opportunity to discuss unresolved issues or tell her how much you love and appreciate her. And if you aren’t especially good at putting your feelings into words, you can always work with a friend or family member to come up with something beautiful.
5. Spend Quality Time Together
Time is one of the best gifts that you can give your mom and is often more meaningful than any material thing. Therefore, it’s important to take the time to spend quality time together and really appreciate each other. Whether it’s taking Mom out for a stroll in the park or enjoying a movie night at home, the key is to spend time with her.
It might even be a great idea to plan a special outing with your mother or a weekend getaway – something that will break up the monotony and give you the chance to bond and have an adventure.
6. Give The Gift Of Memories
One of the best gifts you can give your mom is a gift of memories. Assemble a scrapbook filled with photos, mementos, and special memories shared together over the years. Or, you can create a photo album or video montage highlighting some of Mom’s favorite memories and moments.
Dig out the photos from her childhood, funny family photos from past vacations, or even a mix of many (digital) photos from recent years or decades. Anything that your mother holds close to her heart will be an extra-special way to show your appreciation.
7. Give A Personalized Gift
This Mother’s Day why not go the extra mile and give your mom a unique and personalized gift that she’ll cherish and remember forever? From personalized jewelry and lush blankets to customized coffee mugs, there are plenty of thoughtful gifts you can give your mom that she’ll love. For something extra special, consider giving her a piece of art with a meaningful message that she will remember for years to come.
8. Prepare A Delectable Meal
Why not have a delicious home-cooked meal with your family if you’re searching for a special approach to show Mom you care on her special day? Spend the day preparing a dinner that has special meaning for your mother, such as her favorite dish or a treasured recipe that has been passed down through the generations.
Let Mom know that you appreciate everything she does for you by taking the time to make her something special.
9. Get The Family Together
Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to get the entire family together and have a day spent with quality time. Whether you plan a family picnic or an outdoor activity like a connect four tournaments, make sure to include your mom in the celebrations and make her feel loved and appreciated.
Even better, why not gather around her favorite board game and create some lasting memories with your mom as you celebrate the special day?
Mother’s Day should be spent cherishing and celebrating the special mother or mother figure in your life. Whether you choose to shower her with gifts or simply take the time to enjoy her company, there are many ways to show your appreciation and make the day truly special. From flowers and gardening to creating beautiful keepsakes, these are the perfect ways to show Mom just how much you care this Mother’s Day.
