2. Draw Your Mom

You could make her breakfast in bed, or buy her breakfast at a restaurant. You could take her shopping, or to a movie, or out to eat. You could give her a gift, or spend the day with her. Or you could do something special that she would really appreciate – like draw her a picture.  Anyone can learn how to draw if they want to, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. The most important thing is to put your heart into it and make it from the heart. So this Mother’s Day, why not try drawing your Mom a picture? She’ll love it!

3. Memories of Mom

There is something about the bond between a mother and child that transcends distance and time. No matter what happens, children have fond memories of their mothers; from the love and care to the discipline and sacrifice. She is one person with whom you would share everything from your achievements to your sorrows. You would cherish her memories with you for life. With this event coming up, make sure that you add these mother’s day activities to your entertaining agenda. The event will be a beautiful tribute to moms everywhere!

4. Give Mom A Break

Offer to take her out to eat or get her a gift certificate for a day at the spa. Stressful activities like these can help restore mothers’ energy levels, which may be depleted after spending so much time caring for others. If you’re unable to spend time with her, consider sending funny Mother’s Day cards or calling to check in on her.

5. Mother’s Day Photo Shoot

Dress up in your finest clothing and take some photos that will last a lifetime. Be sure to include your younger siblings in the pictures, too—the more the merrier! be sure to consider these Mother’s Day brunch outfit ideas on your shoot!

Why not take her out for a nice meal, or treat her to some flowers? But if you’re looking for something more unique and fun, why not take her to a karaoke bar? Karaoke is a great way to bond with your mom and have some laughs. Plus, most bars have drink specials on Mother’s Day, so it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate. Just be sure to call ahead and reserve a spot!

7.  Arrange a Movie Night

You’ve spent plenty of time parked in front of the television, so why not do it alongside your mom? If you want to go the extra mile, mail her, in advance, a mug and a cozy pair of socks, along with a proposed tune-in time of a favorite movie. Do not immediately, share our takeaways regarding the movie you both watched. It is a bonding that your mom will forever cherish.   

8. Spend Time in Her Garden

Whether it was helping to weed, planting flowers, harvesting vegetables, or mowing the lawn, most of us spent some time in the garden learning about plants and life from our parents. If your mom has been ignoring you for a short time, she may be distracted by some problems of her own and gardening is the only way to forget all those things. Let her know that you value the time you have with her and doing the things she loves the most. 

9. Pause for a Deep Conversation

We become very serious about achieving our dreams that we forget the real reason behind why we strive so hard in achieving them. We tend to forget that our mom – specifically, is the reason why we are pursuing that dream, she is our ultimate fan. Money is not just a way of giving back to them, hence, having a deep conversation with them is a great idea in having a unique way of giving back. You know, moms love it when you share your deepest secrets with them and see the softest part of the person you are. 

10. Flip Through a Custom Photo Album

You can create a custom photo album that you can fill with solo photos of your mom and family photos. Handmade gifts are always the best gifts as they are made with love and they are unique. So if your mom is special and you want to give her something special this Mother’s Day, then I suggest you do this project and make her a custom photo album, a luxury photo album for moms.

A photo album is always appreciated by moms, especially if it is personalized like this one. And the good thing about making it yourself is that you know what she likes, what colors she likes, and what kind of pictures she likes so you can choose them accordingly. You probably already have some pictures in mind that you want to use in this project so go ahead now and start doing it!
