Yes, most women love the traditional offerings of flowers, perfume and jewelry, but every woman has something specific that tugs harder at her heart strings. Here are some suggestions to inspire creative thought for how to really love on your mama this year. Notice the common thread of offering your time. This is arguably the greatest commodity of our world today, so it means that much more when you freely give of yours.
Bliss Yoga Spa
While massages, pedicures and facials have likely been on the Mother’s Day gift roster before, we assure you, your mother has never experienced a spa treatment like the ones offered at Bliss. As the name so aptly states, this spa is bliss. It’s the perfect treat for a hard working mother in need of some calm pampering and time to unwind, but it’s made even better when enjoyed together as you sip tea in the relaxing spa lounge pre and post treatment.
Jacek Chocolate Tasting Experience
This local chocolatier offers two hour chocolate tastings to thrill your senses and create an unforgettable experience while giving you an understanding of the chocolate making process. Learn about the art of fine chocolate and taste an assortment of different flavours. It’s fun and tasty, but best of all, you’re sure to create memories during this unique experience together.
Kind Words
Gifts need not be expensive to make a significant impact. In fact, so often the most cherished gifts are the ones most thought out, not instantaneously purchased. A well crafted card or personal letter detailing exactly what you appreciate and love about your mother is a guaranteed tear jerker. It gives examples of what you love about your relationship with her and highlights why you are proud that so much of who she is has become a part of who you are. Gush about her! Stroke her ego. Don’t take for granted that she knows how you feel. Forego the mall hunting for the “perfect gift” and spend time spelling it out instead.
Acts of Service
Wash all her windows, clear out her cupboards, scrub her baseboards, organize her boxes of photos in the basement, clean up her yard. This call to action is for the mother whose love language is Acts of Service. For her, offering your time and elbow grease registers much higher on her appreciation scale than a Tiffany’s box tied with beautiful ribbon.
