5 New Ways to Surprise Your Mom on Mother’s Day
4. Do something together
Ditch whatever you have on that day. Take the day off at work, bunk your classes in college. Get your siblings to do that as well. Take your mom for a hiking trip, a picnic, or a day at the mall. Whatever it is, just spend the time with her and make her feel that people around her would be willing to drop everything else in their life for her one special day. It’s a simple yet thoughtful gesture.
5. Make something special for her
In case you are wedded to the idea of gifting something, or are simply not able to be there on the day itself, you can make the gift special by making something on your own! The easiest in this category is the scrapbook. Which mom wouldn’t go misty eye at the sight of chubby pictures of your childhood, hand imprints from your first painting, little important letters you wrote to her when you were a kid? You can go in for making a video too, you can get your siblings and your father to give in short interviews about your mom and compile into one wonderful movie which you can play to her on the big day. Even if it is just a card, as long as it is something you have put an effort into making, she will get the message!
