What to do on Mothers Day
You don’t want to send your mom home with only a box of chocolates and a card. You want her to know that she’s special, so why not plan something special for her this year?

- Go on a date with Mom (or Grandma)
- Take Mom shopping at our local Farmers Market
- Help out around the house with chores she normally does herself—or arrange for help if there isn’t anyone else who can lend a hand around the house!

This Mother’s Day, make sure you’re giving your mother or the motherly figure in your life a celebration she will never forget. Whether it’s brunch with friends at a local restaurant or throwing her an epic surprise party, there are tons of fun and memorable ways to show this special lady how much you love her.
Here are some ideas for making this year’s Mothers’ Day extra special:
- Take Mom out to brunch with some close girlfriends.
- Surprise Mom with tickets for two to a concert she’s been wanting to see (and maybe even get her favorite food beforehand).
- Have everyone over for lunch where you can cook together as well as share stories about growing up together!
1. Give a homemade gift.
- Make a card.
- Make breakfast in bed.
- Give her a massage.
- Get her a coupon book with coupons for things she likes to do (like “buy me flowers” or “take me out to dinner”).
- Create an album of photos of yourself and your family over the years, arranged in chronological order so she can see herself age throughout time!
Spend time with mom doing something she loves to do, like watching her favorite movie together or cooking her favorite dish.
Spending time with mom is always a good idea, but if you don’t know what she likes to do, consider asking her. How does your mom like to spend her free time? Does she enjoy watching movies? Does she love cooking? What songs does she like listening to while cooking?
If you don’t know what her favorite movie or dish is, ask!
2. Put Your Hands Together and Bake a Cake!
Do you want to make your mom feel like a queen? Then bake her a cake!
There’s something about homemade baked goods that just can’t be replicated by store-bought products. A cake from scratch, or even cupcakes, will say “I care about you” more than any flower bouquet (which we all know is pretty common). If you don’t have the time or energy to make one from scratch, then buy a pre-made mix and add some fresh fruit for decoration. Your mom will love it!
Surprise mom with your culinary skills by baking one of her favorite cakes for dessert. If you have troubles cooking a delicious cake, it will be a great idea to order some cakes online without leaving your home and forget about any worries and deliver it straight to the door of your loved ones.

3. Spend Quality Time with Mom
Spending quality time with your mother is an important way to show her how much you care about her and how much she means to you. Mothers day presents the perfect opportunity for this, but it can be difficult for many people who are busy with work or school. Use this holiday as an excuse to spend quality time together!
Here are some ideas for things that you can do with your mother:* Take her out for lunch/dinner.* Go shopping together.* Go see a movie.* Go on a hike together.* Take her out dancing at a club (make sure there aren’t any other men there, though).
If none of these ideas sound appealing, come up with something else creative!
Finding time to spend quality time together can be difficult when life gets busy and hectic, so use Mother’s Day as an excuse to do just that. Whether you go out for brunch or stay at home talking over coffee, spending time with your mother will be sure to make her day more meaningful.

If you have a toddler or baby in tow, the biggest challenge may not be finding the time but rather keeping them occupied so that they don’t interfere with your conversation. The easiest solution is simply to make sure that whatever activities you choose are always within sight of wherever your mom will be sitting or standing (or lying down). You’ll also want to plan some breaks where everyone can get up and move around for five minutes every hour or two—this gives toddlers a chance to run off their energy while adults catch their breath (and enjoy coffee). If possible, leave the house occasionally if there are no other children around; even just walking down the street holding hands with both adults will do wonders for everyone’s moods!
4. Surprise Her with Flowers
Surprise her with flowers. Flowers are a great way to show your mom you care, and they can be sent by post or delivered in person. There are many different types of flowers that can be used for this, such as roses and lilies.
Celebrate the holiday by giving your mother a bouquet of beautiful flowers! Whether you opt for an extravagant bouquet or pick a few flowers from your yard, she’ll love the thought behind the gesture.
Flowers are a great gift for Mother’s Day! You can have them delivered to her door, order them online, or pick some from your yard. If your mom loves flowers as much as mine does, then she’ll be thrilled to receive some on this special day.
By ordering flowers online you can find beautiful arrangements at a lower price than what you will pay at the local florist. And if you’re not sure what kind of arrangement would be best for your mother (or grandmother), don’t worry about it! There are plenty of sites that offer suggestions based on different personalities and preferences. It’s easy to find the perfect gift when everyone is so helpful!
5. Jewelry
Jewelry is a great gift for mom because you can give her something that’s special to you or to both of you, or something that’s just totally unique and perfect for her.
If she likes jewelry, one way to go is with a pair of earrings. This will be an especially good choice if she already has some favorite pairs but wants an extra pair (or two) for variety. If she doesn’t have any favorites yet, then this might be the time to start looking at all the different types of earrings out there: drop earrings, dangle earrings, studs and more! You could also treat your mom to some new piercings…she may not have any yet but she’ll probably love having them once she does!
Another idea? How about buying your mom a necklace instead? Necklaces come in all shapes and sizes—and they’re so versatile too! You can wear them long like this one here…or short like this one…or even layered over another piece like these two items together here are shown here …so many options!
Conclusion
If you want to show your love for mother and make her day more special, then choosing jewelry is the best idea. Jewelry can be a great gift for any occasion, especially Mother’s Day! The most popular way to give Mom jewelry on this special day is by giving her a beautiful pendant or bracelet with a lovely message engraved in it like “Mom You’re My Best Friend” or “You Are My World.”
