5 Ways to Make Mom Feel Extra Special This Mother’s Day

Whether miles or states apart, the one day of the year to shower your mother with love and appreciation is nearly here. Every mom deserves this special day to be spoiled and it’s easy to accomplish with thoughtful ideas. Surprise Mom with one of these activities to show her how much she means to you.

1. Breakfast in Bed

Gift mom a morning of relaxation with breakfast in bed. Whether pancakes made from scratch or takeout from her favorite local spot, impress her by the thoughtfulness and presentation in which you serve. Plate the food on one of our tapas planks for easy carrying or show some extra love by serving on a Mod Heart Charcuterie Board so she never forgets her special place in your heart.

2. Perfect a Family Recipe

Lend Mom a hand by buying the ingredients to your favorite childhood meal and spend quality time prepping dinner together. Bring style and function to her kitchen with glass canisters to store dry ingredients and keep fresh for everyday cooking. Learn her tricks to perfecting the recipe, like always keeping a clean and organized kitchen to quickly locate dried goods. Not only will she be grateful for the bonding time shared, but the stylish canisters filled with everyday ingredients.

3. At-Home Spa Day

Easily relax together by lighting a few candles, pouring some wine and pampering yourselves right at home. Our Budapest Candle offers notes of cucumber and dill to make your bathroom feel like a luxurious spa and our Wine Candles pair perfectly with her favorite red or white wine. Build a charcuterie spread together and let Mom get her much-needed rest and relaxation.

4. Spend time together in the kitchen

Too often, we rush through meal prep and eating. Spend time together by enjoying the process of baking and the best part—eating. Try a new recipe and you can even make it an annual tradition by making that dessert year over year. Visit The Market Edit for cookbooks and browse iPad/Cookbook Holders for a chic way to follow-along.

5. Spend time in the garden

Nothing beats home-grown produce and flowers. Gift Mom her favorite plants and spend the afternoon gardening together to create a sweet memory. Add a special touch by gifting her a Colorblock Flower Vase to display her flowers in, always reminding her of the afternoon spent together. Match her favorite flower to the color of the vase for a thoughtful gift. 

Every mom is unique but they all have one thing in common: they deserve to feel appreciated on Mother's Day. Whether Mom bakes, enjoys decorating, or seems to have everything, try one of these activities to make her feel extra special this year.
