Mothers Day is quickly approaching, and if your mother is anything like most mothers, you've probably heard, "I don't need anything on Mother's Day, I have you!" Although this statement may be true, It shouldn't be taken literally. If you are stuck on what to get your mother this Mother's Day, here is a list to help you out, just in case she is wearing this phrase out...
5. Breakfast in Bed
Our mothers have cooked and cared for us since day one. What better way to pay her back than a nice home cooked meal (without her having to ask you, of course!)? Wake her up with her favorite breakfast meal, fresh squeezed juice, and maybe even some freshly picked flowers. If your mother is not a breakfast eater, treat her to home cooked lunch or dinner, just make sure it is personalized and sentimental - mothers love that! Add in some flowers or chocolate covered strawberries for an extra happy mom!
4. A Trip Down Memory Lane - Personalized Items
If your mother is anything like mine, a trip down memory lane is the perfect gift to make her the happiest mom in the world. Today, anything can be personalized-calendars, mugs, photo frames, etc- so why not take advantage of this? Think of something she loves, or uses often, and make it personalized! Add pictures of you and her, or an etching of why she is the best mother, and she will forever be bragging and showing this gift off. Gifts like this do not get shoved in the back of her closet or dusty on the top shelf of the bookcase. They are fun, useful, and can be completely custom to make your mother happy.
3. A Dinner Date with Yours Truly
Whether this be at a 5-Star restaurant, or her favorite burger joint, take your mother out to dinner, completely on you! One-on-one time with you is all she's ever wanted since you went off to school, and making dates with you have probably become nearly impossible. For an even more special Mother's Day, make it a surprise! Tell her when to be ready and what to wear, that's it! Then surprise her at her favorite restaurant with champagne already on ice. She will feel like a princess, I promise.
2. A Day of Pampering for Her
Is your mother also doubling as Wonder Woman? Does she do so much in one day that you don't know how she handles it all so elegantly? Send her off for a day of pampering to show her that even Wonder Woman rests at some point! Whether her dream day of relaxation is a Swedish Massage with hot stones, or a new hair cut, book her the appointment of a lifetime. Most salons and spas now offer great packages and will be able to get your mom nice and relaxed for the big day.
1. A Weekend Away
What is her ideal getaway? Relaxing in the sun at the beach? Kayaking? Cruising? Find out her ideal weekend getaway and book it! Whether it be with you or with one of her best gal friends, show your mother that you listen, and that she deserves a weekend away. For an even more stress-free weekend, book her a getaway or all inclusive package so she doesn't need to worry about anything when she gets there, except what bikini to wear or what mountain to hike!
