And why not? On this day, we honor the woman who dedicated her life to us, sacrificing her joys to make us happy. So what better way to show her how much you appreciate and love her by pampering her on this special day?
Don’t let a limited budget get in the way of your Mother’s Day celebrations. With a little creativity and lots of love, you can still make your mother feel special. When it comes to managing costs, why not organize your celebration with siblings so that you can share costs?
Here are 10 ideas on how you can celebrate a meaningful Mother’s Day without going over your budget:
1. Serve her breakfast in bed. From the moment she wakes up, make mom feel like she’s a queen. Most likely, she is the first to wake up in your household, so being surprised with a celebration this early will definitely make her feel special. Make sure her breakfast tray includes her favorites.
2. Take over her chores. Spare her the troubles that she has to go through each day by doing all her routine household tasks – washing the plates, doing the beds, cooking meals, or looking after your siblings. You may also volunteer to be her driver or personal assistant, depending on what she does daily.
3. Do something together. Invite her to do something that you both enjoy—watch a movie, go window-shopping in her favorite mall, walk around the park. What matters is that you accompany her and bond together in doing something that she enjoys, instead of what you or other family members prefer.
4. Cook her favorite dish. The easiest way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach, and moms are no different. Make sure to prepare something she really likes, or has been meaning to cook, on this day. If you don’t know how to cook it, go ahead and buy it elsewhere, to be served on her special day.
5. Take her to the spa. Check out online sites for spa package promotions. The discounts can be generous. Let her have a massage, a manicure and other treatments to take away her pains, and so that she can really relax and feel energized again. Alternatively, give her a massage yourself.
6. Have on online reunion. Are some of your siblings away? Organize an online reunion through free livestream sites and applications. These would allow her to feel the love of her children, even if they are not exactly next to her.
7. Write her a letter. In this day and age where everything is said and done in a rush, make mom feel special with a handwritten note just to tell her that you appreciate everything she does, and that you love her. This will let her know that you found the time to compose something special for her.
8. Make her a photobook. Moms treasure memories, and you can indulge her by compiling photos into a nice little photobook. You can find many photobook suppliers online, and many of them offer coupons and big discounts. In this digital age, making mom her very own photo book is simple and easy to do.
9. Treat her to a staycation. Take your mom on a short getaway at any of the hotels in the city. The great thing is that most hotels offer a special rate for locals, which is considerably lower than the published rate. Check out promotions online. You may also wish to look at many smaller boutique hotels with lower rates, but still provide the same comforts that your mom would love.
10. Dine like a queen. Get festive this Mother’s Day by letting her indulge in mouth-watering dishes and varied cuisines in buffets across the city. There are lots of promotions usually available on this special day, plus freebies especially for her. Ask the resident musicians to serenade her with her favorite song to make the celebration truly special.
