Celebrating Your Mom this Mother’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Notre Dame chapter.

With finals and end of the year festivities coming up around the corner, it’s easy to forget that Mother’s Day is quickly approaching as well! The holiday falls right after finals week this year, and it can be hard to make a plan with so much else going on! However, it’s important not to disregard this holiday, as our moms certainly do a lot for us and deserve a day of gratitude and recognition. Whether you get your mom a thoughtful gift or want to plan a day of activities, this is a time to show your mom just how much you appreciate all that she does. If you’re looking for ideas of something nice to do for your mom this Mother’s Day, look no further! Here are some ideas of gifts and activities that moms will certainly enjoy:

Gift Certificate

While gift cards can sometimes seem impersonal and generic, a thoughtful gift certificate to a place you know your mom loves can really show that you care! For example, a pedicure or spa day gift certificate would be a great idea, or a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant. With the right amount of thought put into it, a gift certificate can be an excellent Mother’s Day gift.

Do something together!

Another great way to celebrate Mother’s Day is spending the day with your mom! You could do an activity that she loves, or simply go out for a nice brunch! Getting tickets for a show or a play is a great way to spend the day together, and can be more meaningful than a material gift. Do something you both love, or spend the day doing something you know your mom enjoys!

Make a gift!

If you’re interested in crafting and have a creative touch, try making your mom a gift for Mother’s Day! A homemade gift is incredibly thoughtful, and no matter what you choose to make, your mom will definitely love it. One great craft idea for Mother’s Day is some type of family photo collage or creative picture frame. This timeless gift is something that your mom can display and enjoy for many years to come.

Flowers

Flowers are a simple way to show you care, and to bring a little spring into your home! Any mom will certainly love receiving flowers for Mother’s Day. For an extra special touch, get your mom her favorite flowers!

Get a Gift

While a gift is certainly not a necessary part of Mother’s Day, getting your mom something nice that you know she would enjoy is a very thoughtful gesture! Whether your gift is jewelry, clothing, a good book, or some other item, any gift will do! Paired with a thoughtful card, you will be all set for Mother’s Day.

Regardless of what you do to celebrate your mom this Mother’s Day, remember to thank her for all that she does! When it comes to Mother’s Day, it is truly the thought that counts – so make sure to do something nice for your mom to show just how much you appreciate her!
