5 delightfully simple ideas to celebrate that special person in your life this May
Mother’s Day is about celebrating and honouring the incredible women who have shaped our lives.
Whether it’s your own mum, or a special mother figure in your life, showing appreciation for her doesn’t have to be extravagant.
Often the simple, caring and kind gestures will mean more to them. To celebrate your mum or a woman who has stepped into the role of a mother figure for you, here are five delightfully simple ideas to make her Mother’s Day extra special.
1. Write a heartfelt letter
The power of words cannot be underestimated. Taking the time to sit down and write a heartfelt letter will warm the cockles of her heart and make her smile with pleasure. A handwritten letter is even more special in this digital age. Writing can help convey feelings and emotions that are sometimes difficult to express when speaking. Take this opportunity to share memories and let her know how much she means to you. Add a pressed flower to the letter or cut out paper love hearts for an added feminine touch.
2. Make her a special meal
Whether it’s breakfast in bed, a delicious lunch, or a gourmet dinner, preparing a special meal for your mum is a loving gesture and shows her how much you care. You don’t need to be an amazing cook to create a wonderful experience for her, the thought itself will go a long way. Take the time to decorate the table with a small bunch of flowers, pretty napkins, and a candle so that her eyes will feast on the effort you went to.
3. Pamper her at home
Organise a spa experience in the comfort of her home. A day of pampering and relaxation will be divine for both of you. Set up a room with candles and flowers, and an aromatherapy diffuser with her favourite oils delicately filling the room. Put on a soothing playlist. You can give her a manicure, a pedicure, or a relaxing massage. Whatever is comfortable for you both. She may just want to relax and enjoy the atmosphere while you organise breakfast or lunch for her.
4. Enjoy a nature walk together
Does your mum enjoy nature? If she does, go for a walk to the local park, the beach, or the botanical gardens. Walking and talking go well together – to chat, connect, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of nature. You could also bring along some tea and snacks to take a break and enjoy a light picnic.
5. Create a photo album or scrapbook
Gather 15-20 photographs and create a small scrapbook with the photos arranged in chronological order. Add a caption to each photo about your memories of that time. You may be surprised that what you both remember is different which could make your trip down memory lane together more interesting. This thoughtful gift will not only bring back fond memories, but it will also become a cherished keepsake for years to come..
Choose kindness
Remember that the true essence of Mother’s Day is the love and appreciation you express for the woman you call your mum or cherish as a mother figure. These small gestures of care and kindness will last a long time in her heart.
