How to surprise your mom on Mother's day

Mother's day 2024

By Kiera Hancock'sPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Every mother deserves to be honoured, and as the majority of us are aware, expressing your gratitude goes beyond sending a letter and some flowers. Are you having trouble coming up with fun ways to honour this particular day?

You can commemorate Mother's Day UK in 2024 in a variety of ways that will make it a day to remember. Choose one of these wonderful suggestions, which range from one-of-a-kind presents to engaging activities and even signing a vow.

Image montage

Why not put together a special photo collage of your family and surprise her with it? You may even scan old images, upload them to an app, and make a collage there instead of making a traditional collage by hand.

Give a family tree to your mother

To surprise your mother, do some family history research. Take the opportunity to learn about some of the amazing ladies that came before you both. Once finished, frame the tree to make the ideal present.

Donate to them in their honour

For the mother who has everything, what do you buy? Not everyone wants gifts, and many mothers would be content to have a donation made in their honour to a worthy cause.

Rent her ideal vehicle

Is there a fancy car that your mother has always wanted? Show up in her dream car while taking her for a spin as a surprise. Make sure to include her name on the rental agreement—as we all know, many mothers prefer to be in the "driver's seat"!

Create a garden

Mother's Day is a perfect time to plant some seeds and make something that will spread happiness all year long, whether it's a window box, a vegetable patch, or a sizable flower bed.

Reserve a mobile spa treatment.

Make arrangements for a local mobile masseuse or beautician to visit her house. Pampering is always appreciated, whether or not it's a full-body Thai massage or simply a quick manicure and pedicure.

Prepare the breakfast for her

Nothing is more special than beginning your day with close friends or family going above and beyond to make you feel special. On UK Mother's Day, a delectable bed and breakfast in the gourmet style is ideal. Learn your mother's preferred breakfast or a food she is hankering for. Then, restock the cabinets and rise early to start cooking. Remember to prepare a lovely tray for breakfast and serve it with a steaming hot cup of coffee.

Let her develop a distinctive fragrance

Enrol your mum in a make-your-own-perfume class if she has a sizable collection of fragrances. She'll get to take home a distinctive aroma that will serve as a constant reminder of her time spent with you.

Create a memory scrapbook

Select your mother's favourite photos from her life's journey, including her early years, time in school and college, special times spent with you and your family, and more, and include them in a scrapbook. Even better, give it a name that has special meaning for your mother.

Those Traditional Flowers

You can't go wrong along with some traditional flowers delivered to your mother's door if you don't reside in the same city as her. Ordering a cake, her favourite dish from her favourite restaurant, or a rare piece of jewellery paired with flowers can make it especially special.

Present Her With Something She's Always Desired But Never Received For Herself

Everyone, including our mothers, has a wish list. Learn what your mother has always wanted, whether it is jewellery, a certain skincare product, a book, gardening equipment, a course she has always wanted to take, or something else entirely. She will be delighted when you surprise her with the gift on Mother's Day morning.

The artistic gift

The gift of art has never expired. Find a work of beautiful art by an artist that depicts motherhood or something that is more important to the 2 of you, whether it be a painting by a local artist, a reproduction of a famous work, or even a modern limited edition print.

Create something entirely original

You can be certain that your mother will adore any DIY craft item you do (like this recipe box from Club Handcrafted), poem you write, or funny dance you create. You may either manufacture them for her and give them to her, or you can get her involved in the process.

Acquire a new skill collectively

Offer a workshop, lesson, or course to your mother. A new talent can boost one's self-esteem and disposition, but at its most fundamental, learning something new is just pleasure. How about cake baking, painting, or photography if she hasn't tried those before? For the best opportunity to bond, do it together.

Take a shopping trip

Sometimes something you thought your mother enjoys turns out to not be her "cup of tea." Therefore, why not turn it into an activity before you go for a box of chocolates and a 'I love you, Mom' card? Treat Mom to something she would like and treasure by taking her shopping (or shopping online with her).

Watch a film collectively

Spend some time relaxing with your mother on Mother's Day UK. Why not choose something that is a first for everyone or watch one of her preferred films as a family. Even better, watch something she might like to see on Netflix. Don't forget to prepare her favourite movie snacks the day before by asking her what they are.

Happy mothers day, stay happy with me!
