20 Mother’s Day activities Beyond the Breakfast in Bed

This year, mother’s day is falling on the 14th of May. If you haven’t planned your Mother’s Day yet, it is time to circle the date. Your mother works 365 days a year to make sure you are safe, happy and healthy. A pinch of thoughtful planning and smart execution of some outstanding activities can make her feel cherished. 

1) Take her on a bike ride or a long drive! 

One typical complaint of all moms is that nobody listens to them. Your dad is busy with his work, your siblings have your own schedules and she has nobody to share her emotions with. Take her out on a long drive this mother’s day and let her express her disclosed feelings, problems and wishes. Also, don’t forget to listen patiently and not judge her opinions from the beginning!

2) Do some adventures together

Doing activities together is one of the easiest ways to strengthen a relationship. So try going for a nature walk or camping in the hills. Imagine, just you and your mother, wild, nature, river, barbecue and bonfire. Isn’t it the perfect place for having heart-to-heart conversations with the person who loves you unconditionally?

If you are more adventurous, you can also enjoy other adventure sports such as rafting, bungy jumping, hiking, cycling, etc.

3) Go on a Staycation

If you stay away from home due to work and want to spend some quality time with your mother, it is an ideal opportunity for you to go for a staycation. Apply for WFH, book some tickets and spend a few days with your Mumma.

4) Write her a letter

Mother’s Day is an excellent occasion to go beyond the standard Mother’s Day card and pen down a heartfelt letter for her. In the letter, tell her how grateful you are for her, share your past stories and make her know that you value her love and sentiments.

5) Book her a massage

If you are living far from your mom and you’re willing to make her feel relaxed (at least for a day), book her a massage session. It will rejuvenate her energy levels and would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift for her.

6) Try a workshop together 

Doing things together is always fun with your mum. After all, she’s your first best friend.

So why don’t you both learn something together? Arrange a learning session such as a flower arranging workshop, yoga session, choreography session, painting or pottery workshop with her and learn something while having fun.

7) Go to a concert

If you and your mom are music enthusiasts, then nothing’s going to make this Mother’s Day more unforgettable than you both enjoying a live music concert. 

8) Go for a hike

Moms often whine that their kids have travelled the whole world and they couldn’t visit the nearby hill station! Use this Mother’s Day as the right moment to take your mom out, get her into her sports shoes and go for a hike in nature. 

9) Bake together – 

A family that cooks together, stays together! 

If you are planning to get a delicious Mother’s Day cake for your mom, why don’t you try baking it yourself? If you don’t know how to do that by yourself, take the help of the lady herself. 

Also, if you are a mom and have little kids, cooking is a great way to teach them about ingredients, introduce them to the concept of Mother’s Day and spend time with them. 

10) Throw a party!

Special days demand extraordinary celebrations!

This Mother’s Day, call your friends, ask them to bring their moms and have a bash.

If you don’t want a grand gathering, you can organise a family dinner, a brunch with your friends and their moms or a sweet backyard garden party. Just make sure all the moms get the love and entertainment they deserve.

In order to PepUp your celebration, you can add numerous activities to the event along with good music and food.

11) Do a Photoshoot

Do you ever wonder why you have so many pictures of you with your mom in your childhood and so less in your adulthood? It’s because you got busy with your life’s plans and didn’t get time to click pictures with your mum.

This mother’s day, hire a professional photographer, take your mum and your siblings out and get a photoshoot done with your family. Or, if you want to prove yourself as her favourite child, you can click her pictures yourself.

12) Pamper her

One of the easiest ways to make your mom feel loved is by letting her have some rest. Indian moms work 24×7 and take care of the entire family. This Mother’s day, let her sleep, have some rest, take care of herself and finally, binge-watch your favourite shows.

13) Pedicure Session 

When you are planning to pamper your mom, then how can you miss a pedicure session? Also, if you do not have time to go out with her, you can arrange a DIY pedicure kit and spoil her at your home!

14) Dinner Date with Mom

You don’t have to always go out to have some fun. Order some food or spend 15 minutes in the oven, prepare a Margherita, have some drinks and enjoy a mom-son or mom-daughter date night with your favourite movies.

15) Take her shopping

When was the last time your mom went shopping and she bought everything just for herself? If you don’t remember the date, it is time to do it.

On this 14th of May, make sure you go out with her and shop with her.

16) Do a mehndi session 

When your mumma loves mehndi, then why should you wait for a traditional celebration for applying Mehndi?

If you want to try something unique this mother’s day, hire a mehndi designer and get all your friends’ mummies to have mehndi in their hands.

17) Do the household work!

One of the easiest, most meaningful and most challenging things you can do for your mom this Mother’s Day is to take her work from her.

Prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner just like your mom, clean your home, buy the groceries, arrange the home, take care of your garden, welcome every guest, and give sugar to your neighbours! In short, spend a day working as your mom and we bet you’ll actually start to appreciate her work.

18) Plan a family picnic

The best part about Mother’s Day is it occurs on a Sunday. Everybody is at home and you all can contribute towards making this Mother’s Day special. Also, if you have kids of your own, you can plan a family picnic and make all the moms in your family feel special.

19) Serve Breakfast in the Bed

Serving breakfast in bed is the most traditional way to make your mums happy. You must have tried it in your childhood. Do it this Mother’s day and treat the queen of your home as a real queen!

20) Special Gift

Every occasion is incomplete without a memorable gift. So, one final thing that you should include in your merrymaking is an amazing gift. For this, you can gift make-up items, household items, a saree, dresses, or figurines to your mom or read our Best Mother’s Day Gift Ideas.
