Make a Memory Book
For the scrapbook lover, make a memory book. You don’t have to finish it. You can start it with your favorite memories and give it to her for her to finish. You can also make a memory book for you to do together. It is sentimental and she will cherish it with her heart.
Museum Trip
For the art and history lover, take her to a museum and let her soak up as much creative art and history as she can. It will be an amazing experience and a great escape from her busy day-to-day schedule. Make sure to check your local listings.
Botanical Gardens
For the flower and romantic lover, botanical gardens are a must. She will be enveloped with all different species of plants and scents. It will make the most avid flower lover feel as if they are in paradise. Make sure to check local listings for times and if you need to make reservations.
Give Her “Me” Time
Giving her even an hour to do nothing means everything. Sometimes we forget that moms are so busy taking care of everyone, that it seems moms don’t have time for themselves. If you can, make time to give her “me” time. She will be so grateful.
Home Spa Day
Plan a special spa day with her from doing a facial to massaging the toes. It doesn’t take a lot to do a spa day, she will be thankful that she is catered to, and her toes will thank you too. Don’t forget the cucumbers for the eyes.
Write a personal letter
Mother’s Day cards are so amazing, but what about a handwritten letter. It is personal and it definitely comes from the heart. You can write as much or as little as you want. It is the fact you took the time to write something that means the world to her.
Park TRIP
Plan a trip to the park for some rest and relaxation. Make sure to pack a cooler and head to the park. Pack a variety of goodies, and just enjoy the day.
Day Trip
Plan a trip for a day to a place maybe an hour away. You could go to the beach, a lake, the mountains, anywhere that gives her a change of scenery. She will be so excited to get away, even if it’s just for the day.
