Perhaps you are looking to get out of the house for mother’s day.

There are plenty of things that you can prepare for mom that will not only surprise her, but make her feel special without her having to plan or prepare the idea.

Some ideas include:

  • Take her out for a meal at her favorite restaurant
  • Attend a special mother’s day screening at the movies
  • Take her for a spa day and give her a pamper treatment
  • Organise for a family walk
  • Head to the beach
  • Attend a museum or art gallery
  • Head to the zoo or a wildlife park
  • If she is a thrill seeker, then an amusement park could be the perfect location for the day
  • Rent her dream car for the day and take it for a spin!
  • Plan a surprise weekend getaway. Whether that’s to a small cottage or a secluded camping spot
  • Chose the location that mom would enjoy the most
  • Go strawberry, apple, pear, cherry or fig picking (depending on season)
  • Go on a winery tour
  • Take a river or sea boat ride

Think outside the box a little bit. What would mom love to do that she wont go and organize for herself?

If you have young children present on the day, make sure that you chose something that all ages will enjoy. The last thing mom needs is to have bored children or grandchildren!

But, mom’s in general LOVE spending time with their kids. So regardless of the ages of the kids present, create a meaningful time together, that can be enjoyed by all.

Mom will be thrilled that the day has been planned for her and she will treasure the memories made on the day.

It is also possible to for young children to pamper mom or their grandmother.
