10 Special Ways to Surprise Your Mom this Mother's Day
Mothers hold a special place in everyone’s hearts. The selfless love mothers give to their children knows no bounds. They make sacrifices and hard choices for the sake of their families and the people they hold dear.
Many business owners today credit their moms for their successes. Some entrepreneurs often say that their mothers inspired them to love their businesses unconditionally and exert their very best effort as an investment for its future.
This Mother’s Day, we celebrate some of the most important women in our lives by showing our love and appreciation in extra special ways. Check out our list below of unique things you can do for your mom that will make this Mother’s Day a truly memorable one:
• Cook your mom’s favorite meals - For most of our lives, our moms have cooked for us. Wouldn’t it be special if it was the other way around? If you can cook, try dishing out some of her favorite meals and surprise her with a special in-house meal of your creation. Time to see if you’ve inherited her kitchen skills!
• Take her out for a fancy dinner - If you’re not into cooking, you can also bring your mom out for a fancy dinner. Have a table reserved for two (or more) in a fine dining restaurant and make her feel special by asking her to dress up for the occasion.
• Go shopping - Treat her to an activity she loves, and it just doesn’t mean just buying things. Bond through shopping by taking time to chat with her, spend time together and get to know each other’s sense of style. Shopping with your mom doesn’t necessarily mean taking her to malls. How about weekend markets? Every weekend, the Salcedo and Legazpi village markets come alive, providing wide selections of unique finds that will surely delight your mom.
• Book her a flight out of town - Everyone loves to travel, and your mom deserves a break after all her hard work. Try booking her a flight this Mother’s day to your favorite destinations and show her the wonders you were able to enjoy. If you’re running out of ideas, why not fly her to Puerto Galera for pristine beaches and lovely sandstrips that will surely take her stress away?
• Spend a relaxing day at the spa - Treating your mom to a relaxing day doesn’t have to be far from your home. There are spas and wellness centers all around the Metro that can help you and your mom de-stress. Plus, you know your mom deserves the best treatment after how much she’s cared for you all your life.
• Get a makeover - Your mom’s perfect the way she is, but there’s no shame in getting pampered and looking pretty on a special day. Give her that relaxing and satisfying makeover she deserves by taking her to a beauty studio like Strokes by Momoi Supe, where their professional and talented staff can make her inner and outer beauty shine.
• Check out a vacation spot - Why not be tourists for a day, and go around a tourist destination? You’ll be able to appreciate the joys of traveling, commemorate the moment with a lot of photos, and most of all, spend some good quality time with your mom. Catch up on each other’s lives, get some sound advice, and make the most out of your free day!
• Organize a get-together with her friends - With your mom’s busy schedule, she probably doesn’t always have time to catch up with her long-time pals. For this special day, collaborate with her friends’ kids and arrange a special get-together for their clique in a small cafe or restaurant, where they can make up for lost time and go on full catch-up mode!
• Arrange a surprise party for her - Call your family and friends and organize a special party to surprise your mom this Mother’s Day. Bring food, play games, and take turns in showing your appreciation and saying something special for the woman of the day. Don’t forget to acknowledge all the other moms in the party too, of course!
• Write a personalized letter or card - You were probably eight years old when you last wrote a letter or card for your mom, but doing it again for her will surely bring forth fond memories. Plus, you probably have some artistic skills now that you didn’t have then. Try adding some flair with hand-drawn calligraphy or paint, and make sure you add a personal touch to your letter or card to let your mom know you love her. While you’re at it, throw in a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates to make it extra special.
On this special occasion, make sure your mom feels every bit of appreciation you can give. Take time to be with the people who inspired you to make it big, both in business and in life.
