It’s the month of the mother; people the world over get to celebrate and appreciate their single most favourite woman in the world. The occasion we get to reignite the most natural bond in existence. Since birth, she has nurtured and guided you into the person you have proudly become today. You’re all grown now and every year around this time, you are presented with the challenge of reconnecting with your mother in a way that will be mutually meaningful to the both of you.
Here are a few ideas to explore this mother’s day that the both of you can enjoy:
Day at the spa
You are both hard working individuals and there is nothing wrong with spoiling yourselves this Mother’s Day with a pampering session at a spa. Quite a few day spas out there offer attractive packages including some specifically suited for this special occasion; a mother-daughter package! Go on ahead and get yourself anything from pedicures, manicures, facials and massages. It really presents a great opportunity to catch up!
Join in on her hobby
What does your mom like to do in her free time? Knit? Sing in the church choir? Whatever it is, whether enjoyable to you or not, your mom will relish sharing in something she loves with you. Then, and only then (It’s her day), could you get her to try one of your hobbies in reciprocation. This also serves to give her an insight into what kind of a person she brought up and take pride in you.
Play Stylist
Do you feel that perhaps the years have slowly taken a toll on your mom’s sense of fashion? That she could probably use a bit of your midas touch, even just a little bit? Well then here’s your chance. Even if she’s been a bit hesitant to take your fashion advice in the past, the fact that it’s mother’s day gives you a chance to sneak some biases into her wardrobe (we can’t guarantee she’ll wear whatever you make her get but it’s well worth the try).
Even better, your mom may have noticed your great sense of fashion, occasionally complimenting your “cute outfits” that she wishes she could also have. She may not have a shopping buddy to provide honest advice on what looks good and what doesn’t. Again, here’s your chance.
