2- Breakfast in Bed Whether it’s you get her favourite meal delivered, or get the family to make a recipe together, enjoying the first meal of the day in bed feels like a holiday. Some flowers on the tray can brighten her day too, and maybe some silence, because let’s face it… we all know how mothers around the world enjoy a few minutes of silence! 1- Handmade cards Everyone enjoys homemade, personalised gifts and cards: make a card, write a letter, or maybe some arts and crafts especially made for her. Mothers really appreciate the effort. Make an album of some of your favourite pictures together, or maybe a Spotify list of her favorite songs. 6- Family Activity Spending time enjoying a family activity together can include going for a walk, watching her favourite movie or having fun playing a board game together. Mothers love spending time with their most cherished people. 5- Virtual Visits There are so many options when using video to catch up and show her you care. If you can't use a video conferencing app like FaceTime, Zoom, Duo or HouseParty, the telephone will do. You can even plan for all her kids to participate, this way you can all show her how much you care together. 3- Gifts! During this pandemic, there have been many online options for the delivery of flowers or custom gifts. You can send a cake, chocolates, or even a good book that you know she will like. There are also charitable donations that can be made in her honour. Gift vouchers are another great option as they can be used whenever and wherever she desires. 4- Sharing the responsibilities. Another way to show your love is by taking up some of her responsibilities. Maybe go grocery shopping instead of her, meal-prep for the week, or even help with the laundry or taking the trash out. You can also fix something around the house that has been on hold for a while because no one had the time to do it. Mothers really appreciate it when “the work is done”. No matter what you do to show her you care, be sure that it will make her heart happy and even though nothing is ever enough to repay these selfless, beautiful creatures, still one day a year can make a difference. Happy Mothers’ Day to all mommies around the world! LIFESTYLE | opinion www.womanthismonth.com March 2022 77
