mom

To wow your mom this Mother’s Day, you need to get a little creative and come up with something more original other than buying her a set of cups, plates or kitchen utensils – zai ay masry aseel. You need to start thinking out of the box; here are some ideas:

1- Take her to a spa

Taking your mom to a spa isn’t by any means an ordinary gift. It will make her unwind, relax and enjoy her time so she can reboot and get back to dealing with her house chores and work. Spas usually makes a lot of special offers for Mother’s Day, but if it’s still out of your budget, you can always bring her the spa home. Just buy a good brand bath gel and run a soothing scented bath for her. It might not be as relaxing as a spa massage treatment, but it will still be highly appreciated.

2- Cook her a meal

For a change, cook her a decent meal and don’t let her get involved with the preparations or the cleaning up afterwards. It would be ideal if you can actually prepare a surprise meal on Mother’s Day.

3- Take her for a weekend getaway

Try taking her for a short getaway anywhere near like Sokhna or Ras Sidr for instance. She will enjoy it especially if the whole family can join her.

4- Surprise her!

If you’re planning to simply give her a present, at least do it in style. Don’t just hand her the present; create a surprising atmosphere and lay the beautifully wrapped present on her bed first thing in the morning.

5- Take her out for a whole day

Start the day with taking her out for a breakfast, then maybe take her on a feluka ride, then lunch and maybe a movie afterwards. That would be a day she will never forget!

6- Treasure hunt

Make the gift giving process fun! For example, give her a flower at breakfast and a card directing her to a place where she finds another note leading her to something that finally leads her to the present. That would definitely be amusing!

7- Make her something 

Nothing says you care more than a DIY gift even if it did not turn out as glamorous as expected, but it’s always a nice gesture! Print some of your pictures together, from the moment you were born till now, and stick them on colored charts to make a handmade album. You can search other ideas online.
