5 CUTE IDEAS FOR A SPECIAL MOTHER’S DAY

Bring a smile on your mum’s face by making the occasion a memorable one for her

INVITE A LONGLOST FRIEND OF HERS AT HOME

We all have friends who we have fallen out of touch with as we rushed through life. Reach out to any of your mum’s old friends who she hasn’t met in a while and invite them home for a lunch or dinner. The joy of seeing an old friend will bring to her will be priceless.

GIFT HER A MEMORY JAR

Ask each member of the family to write something interesting about your mother or their fondest memories with her. Collect all of these in a beautifully decorated jar and gift it to her. She will be touched to the core with this gesture, we bet!

RECREATE HER WEDDING PHOTO

Surprise your mum by recreating her wedding photo or any other photo that captures a memory close to her heart. Ask your friends or siblings to help you in this. Dress up and recreate the pose in the pictures. She will be delighted to see the effort you have made for her.

ACKNOWLEDGE HER DREAMS

While you cannot repay all that your mother has given up for you, you can show your gratitude by acknowledging her interests, such as a love for photography or a new language. Take out some time to go sightseeing with mummy dearest and let her hone her camera skills.

TAKE HER OUT FOR STANDUP COMEDY

Make this Sunday a fun one, by taking your mum out for a standup comedy show. Not only will it lighten up her mood, but it might also relieve her of the stress mums usually go through. She would certainly thank you for bringing a smile on her face.
