Mothers are the biggest blessing of our life. Think about it. We are a part of her. We grew in her, our first heartbeat developed inside her body, she’s the first skin we touch, the first voice we hear, and the first feeling of belongingness we have, and all of this starts even before we are born. We shouldn’t consider this anything less than true magic. A mother spends her entire life taking care of the family, especially her kids. She has so close strings attached to her kids that she always knows the reason for nonsense, a tear, hands or head moment, and whatnot. Even when we grow up, she’s the one who understands our pain just by looking in our eyes or comes to know about our stress by looking at the lines on our forehead, a smile of ours is enough to tell her that we are in love with someone, a word from our mouth is enough for her to know what’s going on. If these are not a goddess’s traits, then what are they?
A mother forgets everything special about her because everything is replaced by her family, kids, and the other people around her. She thinks this is the most special part of her life, and nothing can overpower this, but it is our responsibility to make her feel special, not because she is our mother but because she is way too special. Thankfully, one of the days, Mother’s Day, exists to give us a chance to show how special she is. Clicking nice pictures together for social media isn’t enough for this day. There has to be a lot more that would mean something to her, not something that would tick a social media trend. On mother’s day, you might buy cake online or from a bakery to let her cut it, or you might order gifts or flowers, but what else? What do you think would give her internal happiness and joy? You cannot give her anything that has less emotional depth to it. Period.
If you’re in the USA and your mother lives in India, what would you do to wish her a happy mother’s day? You’ll probably video call her and send gifts to India from USA for her. You’d make sure that whatever you send her brings a smile to her face, but do you know what will bring a smile to her face? That video call with you would bring a smile to her face. That’s how simple mothers are; all they need is you to love them, that’s all.
Send cake to Delhi, send flowers to New York, or send gifts to Paris, mother’s day is hands-down one of the biggest opportunities for you to make your mother feel like the queen she is, and these ten ideas would work wonders to make her feel loved, valued, cared, and respected by you.
- The Cook Book: Give your mother a break from the kitchen on mother’s day, and you wear the chef’s hat instead. Cook her some delicious dishes out of her favorite ones. Go through videos, or recipe books, try to get it right, and serve her breakfast in bed, a warm lunch in the afternoon, and candlelight dinner at night. Make sure you make every drink and dish.
- The Show Shopper: Take your mother out shopping at her favorite store or showroom. Let her get her hands on anything and everything that she likes. It’s her day, and it’s her choice. She deserves every second of it.
- Load for the Road: Plan a little road trip for her on mother’s day and take her somewhere where she can relax, enjoy, and just be herself. It would be a desirable vacay for her.
- You Mean Clean: Take the responsibility of cleaning the entire house for her, especially her bedroom and her closet, organize the things in her room properly, like clothes or cosmetics, clear all the mess from the house, and wait for the shine in her eyes as she sees the bright interiors and floor of her house. She loves cleanliness, doesn’t she?
- The Super Spa: Book a spa appointment for her and let every muscle, nerve, and bone of her body relax. Gift her rejuvenation on mother’s day, and she’ll have the time of her life.
- The Friend Trend: Call over her friends and sisters at home, organize a little get-together for the gal pals, keep it a surprise, and manage everything on your own. She’ll be happy, she’ll have fun, and she’ll enjoy herself with her girls.
- The Vintage Wonderland: Take out the old photo albums she has, go through those photos and talk about her childhood, her friends, her life before you, before marriage, and everything in between. Let her tell her own sweet stories. This is going to be an amazing mother-child session for you both.
- The Memorable Movie: Have a movie night with her, get some popcorn and soda, and play any of her favorite movies, one or as many as she wants. Go a movie maniac for your mother, and she’ll love it.
- The Social Splendour: Take her to an orphanage, a blind school, or a nursing home, let her donate anything she wants, clothes, money, or food. Her heart would smile as she’d see people smiling because of a noble deed done by her. Lay a bet, and you’ll see peace spreading across her face like never before.
Mothers are simple, and little things can trouble them, while little things can give them an immense amount of happiness. Little gestures by you could keep her smiling for days. Why wouldn’t you want to do that? Though every day should belong to her, as far as mother’s day is concerned, she deserves the world, all because she made sure she gives you one herself.
