Though you should do it from time to time, begin the day by giving her a break from all-time kitchen duty with breakfast in bed. Her joy would know no bounds as she wakes up to her favourite morning delicacies (tea/coffee, sandwich and perhaps a cute bunch of Mother’s Day flowers), all decked upon a tray.

In an era dominated by people texting each other from across the room, a handwritten note will stand out as a heartfelt relic of personal touch. So, pen down your thoughts, express gratitude or simply share the most cherished memory with your mom. Don’t forget to complement them with Mother’s Day gifts such as cakes and chocolates. Indeed a gesture that holds a high emotional quotient!

Think homemade face masks, soothing baths and even a gentle massage. It’s about creating an atmosphere of tranquility where she can relax and unwind, away from the responsibilities that she shoulders daily.
Scrapbook
Surprise your real-life superhero by compiling a digital or physical scrapbook of memories, featuring photos, mementos and little notes. This trip down memory lane is not just about reminiscing but about celebrating different parts of your journey together.

Give her the ultimate gift of time! Take over her daily chores and responsibilities for the day, treating her to a luxurious present of time. Furthermore, in the evening, throw her a little surprise with close friends and family, Mother’s Day cake, good music and good times. Just remember to not wait for a whole year to give her the same present.
Customised Gifts
Believe it or not – personalised gifts speak volumes! Surprise her with anything – from a gardening kit for the green-thumbed mom to a set of gourmet ingredients for the cooking maestro to bake the perfect Mother’s Day cupcakes.
The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Beyond the gestures of treating her to Mother’s Day chocolates, cakes and more, let this day be a reminder to offer your unwavering support and appreciation to your personal all-rounder. Listen, offer help, and be present, not just today but every day, for it’s in the everyday acts of kindness that true appreciation is shown.
So, here’s to making Mother’s Day not just a date on the calendar, but a heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary lady in our life.
