Mums do so much for us, and while it’s important to try and recognise that every day, Mother’s Day is an exciting time to truly celebrate everything that Mum means to you.
This Mother’s Day, make Mum’s day as special as can be and give her a day to remember. Here are our favourite tips and ideas to make it special.
Create a homemade card
If you ask a Mum what her greatest creation is, she’ll always say her children. Return the love with your own special creation and craft a unique, homemade Mother’s Day card just for her! For supplies, check out Big W and Kaisercraft for all your special creative needs.
Fill it out with some drawings of you and Mum, add some special decorations like glitter, and tie it all together with a heartfelt message about how important she is, and all the important ways that you value her. Be prepared though — this one is almost guaranteed to make her emotional with love, so maybe bring a packet of tissues too.
Treat Mum to brekkie in bed
Being a Mum is one of the hardest, busiest jobs there is, so instead of her getting up first to start preparing the day for everyone else, tell her to sleep in and wake up a bit earlier to prepare a special breakfast for her!
Find out what she likes most and get cooking in the kitchen! Even if you aren’t known for your cooking skills, it’s okay! Mum will appreciate your effort and the care you put into making it no matter what. Whether it’s pancakes, bacon and eggs or even something more unique, once it’s done, put it all on a tray and carry it in with your best smile and treat Mum to the most relaxing meal in bed.
Pack a picnic for lunch
Continue the relaxation by preparing lunch for Mum too, by packing a nice picnic for the whole family to share. Head down to one of the many local parks or open areas in Altona, like Cherry Lake Reserve or even Altona Dog Beach if you have a furry friend with you, and unpack for a wonderful time.
To create the picnic, make some small sandwiches, pack a bunch of fruit and maybe grab some sparkling juice or chocolate for something sweet. Everything you need to make a special lunch can be found right here at Aldi or Coles!
Settle in for her favourite movies or shows
If Mum’s a bit more of a homebody, enjoy the special day right from the comfort of your living room and put on one of her favourite films or TV shows to all watch together. It might even be a classic favourite that she loved watching with you growing up!
If you need some snacks, make sure to pop into Central Square and stock up. Our favourite plan: get a bowl of popcorn ready, snuggle in with some blankets and let the magic begin!
Let Mum have time to soak it in
Sometimes Mum just needs a bit of time to relax too, so a mini-spa moment might be exactly what would make her day! Treat her to a rejuvenating massage at Sunoom or gift her a fun nail treatment at Studio One or Glamorous.
Feel free to keep it calm at home too and let Mum have a nice, uninterrupted soak in the bath with a good book or a glass of her favourite drink. Check out Kaisercraft’s range of premium, handmade soaps for something distinct to top it all off.
Excite her with a dinner feast
With so many exciting food options at Central Square, there’s always something Mum will love to eat. Whether it’s a great night out at family favourite La Porchetta, or grabbing some takeaway and turning it into an at-home feast, get all her favourites — and maybe some dessert too.
If you feel like surprising her with your own culinary abilities, stock up on all the ingredients you need from our supermarkets and whip up something amazing!
And finally…
Find the perfect gift!
There’s something exciting and special about putting time into finding that right gift for Mum. Spend some time thinking about the things she likes — what are her hobbies, and how does she enjoy spending her free time? What might she like to do that she hasn’t done before?
We have all the gift ideas you could want, like a stunning handbag from Kaisercraft, stylish home pieces from Decor and More, cosy pyjamas from Millers Fashion, and even the classic bouquet from Flowers in the Meadows. Whatever it is she loves, you can find it right here.
