Make Mother’s Day Special in 12 Easy Steps

If you’re stuck on what to get your mom this Mother’s Day, don’t fret; there are plenty of ways to make her day special without spending too much money. By showing her that you put thought and care into the gift you give her, you’ll show her just how much she means to you. Here are ten fun ideas that will help make your mom feel like the most important woman in the world.

A fun way to start off the day

You can start off by waking your mom up with a homemade breakfast or showering her with flowers. You could also cook her favorite meal for dinner, make a scrapbook for her, or get her something personal like jewelry. If she really loves spending time in nature, you could go hiking together! The possibilities are endless - just make sure she knows how much you appreciate everything she does for you.

What to wear

One of mom's favorite things is that you care enough about her to make sure she looks great on a special day. Surprise her with a new piece of jewelry or a gorgeous dress that lets her know how much you appreciate her. If you're not sure where to shop, ask friends and family for gift suggestions so that you can get something she's likely never owned before. For example, there are thousands of options out there when it comes to bracelets and necklaces, but not every woman has one in every color and style. A fancy watch can be another great gift because moms like looking stylish while still keeping track of time; they also rarely splurge on themselves, making them an especially good choice if your budget is limited.

1) Breakfast in Bed

You don’t have to wait until Mother’s Day morning (or even lunch or dinner) to make your mom feel special. Surprise her with breakfast in bed. Omelets are a classic choice, but other ideas include egg casseroles and crepes. If you really want to do something special, treat her to freshly squeezed orange juice. It's an unexpected (and healthy) addition that will make it all worth it for her! Of course, no meal is complete without mimosas or champagne, so go ahead and start celebrating now—you may as well!

2) Get your family involved

Even though you are probably looking forward to Mother’s Day as much as she is, your family may not be. That's OK; get them involved in planning and executing a celebration that everyone will love. Involve your kids in choosing presents, having them create handmade cards or make food for Mom on her special day. Getting everyone working together can make all of you feel closer and more connected—which is what motherhood is all about!

3) Go on a Walk Together

The best way to bond with your mom is to spend time together, especially if you and your mom don’t see each other every day. Head out for a walk on a beautiful spring day—this will be more special than any gift you could buy! Get creative by finding a park you haven’t visited before or checking out a trail map and planning an interesting route. Be sure that whoever accompanies you can keep up with your pace. Your mother will appreciate how much thought you put into making her feel special, as well as how healthy you are by exercising together.

4) Help with Chores

An easy way to make your mom feel special is by helping with chores around her house. Ask her if there are any things you can do for her that she normally has trouble with; be it cleaning, cooking or taking care of her dog. If you help out around her house and make sure everything is clean and taken care of, it will go a long way in making Mom feel like she’s getting pampered on Mother’s Day

5) Do something together you both enjoy

One way to make your mom feel special is to do something that you both enjoy. If she loves to get her nails done and you hate it, don't make her go! However, if she loves it as much as you hate it, why not tag along? Sharing a bond by enjoying something together can be just what Mom needs on Mother's Day. The most important thing is that you make sure she knows how much she means to you.

6) Go out for Brunch Together

The beauty of brunch is that you get all of your favorite breakfast and lunch foods, but in a fun-to-share meal. If you have a close relationship with your mom, consider planning and going out for brunch together. Whether it's at her favorite restaurant or a place where she's always wanted to go, take turns treating each other. Maybe she'll pay for yours if you treat her next time! Either way, make sure she feels special on mother's day without spending too much money by getting creative with how you do it!
