Last Minute Mother's Day Ideas

Our moms play such an important role in all our lives, so it's only fitting that we create a special celebration on the day that honors them. Whether you've already found that perfect gift or you're still searching, you'll want to read on. Here are some ideas to add to the fun.

Sing...Sing a Song: This is especially great for kids who want to do something special for mom. Help them create a play, write a song, make a video, or recite a personal poem. It's the kind of moment every mom loves and will treasure forever.

Plan Some Pamper Time: Spa treatments are a great way to celebrate mom on Mother's Day. After all, no one deserves to be pampered more than the person who usually pampers everyone.

Plan a Special Meal: Design a special meal built around your mom's favorite foods. Not only will she get to spend the day with you, but she won't have to do any cooking or cleaning in the process.

Plan a Day Trip: Surprise mom and take her away for the day. Museums, a play in a nearby city, or a drive to the coast or mountains for a picnic are just some things you can do during a day of fun.

Plan Some Tea Time: A fun treat for Mother's Day is to take your mom to an English teahouse, or for high tea at an upscale hotel where you live. Combine this with a spa treatment for a double dose of bliss.

Frame It: Does your mom have a favorite picture of the two of you? Or does your wife have a favorite picture of your kids? Enlarge it and buy a beautiful frame for it and then surprise her on Mother's Day by placing the picture on her nightstand.

Plant It: For the mom who loves to garden, buy some perennials and then spend the day helping her plant. You'll gift mom in two ways: By spending the day with her, and by sharing something with her that she loves to do.

Note It: Get a pack of cards and have everyone in your family handwrite a special message about how much mom means to them. Then, buy her a special keepsake box just for these cards. It's a tradition you can keep every year, and in the years to come, it will be a wonderful way for mom to look back and remember.

We hope your Mother's Day will be filled with activities and events that the mom or moms in your life enjoy. Most of all, make sure you show her exactly how much you love her. And after you show her, be sure to tell her as well.

Happy Mother's Day!
