Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to recognize the wonderful qualities of your mother and dedicate special celebrations to her. Why not turn this party dedicated to her into the most beautiful day she has ever lived?
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Celebrate Mother's Day
Step 1. Talk to other family members about it
You don't want to interfere with other people's programs! Maybe your older sister is planning a family outing and you don't know about it yet. Or your father may have a more precise idea of what your mother would like, for example if she would like to spend a relaxing day in a spa. The more information you collect, the better your decisions will be. Remember that more brains work better than one.
Step 2. Decide what to give her
Think about whether a teddy bear or a greeting card would be better, or some deckchairs for the garden. Flowers and chocolates are the most traditional option, but even a collage of her photos with her children can be a nice thought. You can look for a nice diary where she can write down family recipes, or, if you have any doubts, a voucher to shop in her favorite shop! Think about your mother's individual tastes, reflect on what she likes best, show her that you have thought about it before choosing the most suitable gift for her.
Step 3. Establish a schedule for the day
You have dozens of possible options, it depends on the area you live in and your mother's tastes, and of course your budget. Are you always in a hurry? Invite her to spend a relaxing day at home, prepare her a healthy breakfast and a hot bath, watch a movie together and remember some events from the past. Or take her to a museum, a water park, the cinema, or organize a picnic or a barbecue outdoors. Another possibility is to leave her a day off to dedicate only to herself, in which she could go to a spa, indulge in beauty treatments or try a new haircut. Meet her at lunchtime and give her a gift. Whatever you decide, put your mom's personal tastes at the center of your thoughts.
Step 4. Contact her
If you live far away from her, and cannot celebrate this anniversary together, send her a greeting card and give her a call. You could send her a gift with the card, or a voucher to spend at a shop she likes, or order her flowers through international delivery services. But above all, call her, your voice will be the best gift on this day when you cannot be together.
Advice
- Is there a woman waiting in your family? Celebrate her next motherhood by offering her flowers and a birthday card, or a silver chain or a little thought for the baby who is about to be born. But be discreet, if the woman is experiencing a difficult pregnancy it is best to avoid.
- Tears are not always unwelcome! Indeed, on Mother's Day, a little emotion in greeting one's mother is more than natural. Mothers are usually very sensitive, let them shed a few tears of happiness, hug her and tell her how much you love her.
- Anyone who has lost their mother may think about adopting a mother for a day. There are many single women in nursing homes who do not receive visits from their families, why not make an affectionate gesture towards one of them on the occasion of this special occasion?
- Compliment her. Make her feel special.
- Don't be selfish, put your heart into everything you do and include other members of your family as well. Let your mother know that you are a good person and that she deserves a child like you.
Warnings
- Don't be selfish and don't think about what you want. Are you thinking of buying a new car, which you will then use too? Okay, but don't ask her to buy it just for Mother's Day, or you will let her know that you are doing well just because you want to get something.
- Don't remember past incidents. For example if her life was very hard, if she had drug problems when she was young, if she wasn't there when you needed her. Whatever has happened over the years try not to blame her and look with her to the future, and to the positive sides of your life together.
- Don't interfere with other family members' projects, let them participate and show everyone your ideas. It is not Your Day, but Mother's Day, so if you have brothers and sisters, they too have the right to have preferences. Make your family even more united by sharing the organization of this anniversary with your loved ones, it will be one more way to make your mother happy. If one of your siblings has already prepared something special, then why not give mom two days rather than one? Finding out that she can celebrate two Mother's Day will be a real surprise for her!
