3. Arrange flowers together
Is your mum a big fan of beautiful blooms? Well instead of buying her a bunch like every other sibling probably will, book a flower arranging course for you both to attend. If you were wondering how to celebrate mother's day, now you’re all sorted because this activity means she’ll be busy as can be while learning a new skill along the way! And of course, you’ll both have a bunch of flowers each to remember the day by.
4. Revel in a mother-daughter cooking course
Cooking courses are great Mother's Day activity ideas because they provide your mum with something to do and eat on the day. Plus, you’ll both get to spend quality time together while cooking up a storm… what could be better? Just choose a class that will show you both how to cook her favourite dishes and her most-loved cuisine. Then, watch her face light up as she learns the ropes!
5. Host an extra-special games night
If you’re searching for Mother’s Day ideas with a difference, but ones that are still low key for a more introverted mum, why not host a games night at your place? This can involve anything from a quiz tournament to a personalised game of bingo. All that’s required of you is to plan it in advance, get the paper and pens ready and provide some nibbles for her to enjoy in between each round. Let’s just hope she’s the winner on the day!
6. Make her a charcuterie board to gobble up
Buy her favourite salami, prosciutto, chorizo and cheeses and make a charcuterie board for her to gobble up at your house. Set the dinner table up with candles and “Happy Mother’s Day” banners to make her feel a million dollars as she takes a seat. You could even design placemats for everyone who’s attending. If you don’t quite have the time to craft a charcuterie board, go all out and take a look at the deliverable options online instead. She’ll be happy either way, trust us.!
7. Serve her a delightful breakfast in bed
Obviously, you want your Mother’s Day ideas to be top-notch and original. But sometimes a golden olden tradition is just what the greatest woman in your life deserves. So, pre-prepare a delightful breakfast for your mum to devour on her special day, pop it on a tray and bring it to her in bed.
And if you don’t live with her, or won’t be there on the morning of Mother’s Day, send her other half the goods beforehand, as well as strict instructions to deliver this food-filled treat to her before she gets up!
8. Take her on a vineyard tour
If you’re looking for extra special yet sentimental Mother's Day activity ideas, taking mum on a vineyard tour is up there as one of the best. You can both share stories about the fine times you’ve had together over a bottle while sipping a delicate glass of wine. Fascinate your mum with this fun activity, where you’ll both learn all about how wine is turned from grape to glass. Just make sure you check the weather before setting off…
9. Book her a Mother’s Day manicure
Your mum should feel relaxed and pampered on the day that’s dedicated to her, which is why booking her a manicure is one of the best ideas for mother's day. Secure a place for you both to sit side by side and natter away at the salon while getting this luxury treatment. She really will feel like royalty on her big day, and so she should!
10. Plan a theatre night for the two of you
Does your mum adore seeing West End productions or plays at her local theatre? Well then, plan a theatre trip for both of you to enjoy together on Mother’s Day evening. Taking her out for the night, and doing something you know she will be raving about long after it’s over, means she’ll have fantastic memories of the 27th!
