Hello & Namaste!
I am very excited to share this blog today, as this one holds a very special space in all of our hearts!
It's about the most special and beloved celebrated day - 'Mother's Day'!
Though it is celebrated in different days in the year around in different countries, as per their traditions. But here in India, we have this opportunity to thank and show gratitude to our beloved mothers on second sunday of may month every year!
We all have this one reason here, to show our sentiments through celebration! And i was wondering if we can exchange some creative ideas to make her day special by staying home together! So i have listed down some recommendations where just a little extra effort can make her day exceptionally amazing! Before we proceed further, i would like to make a disclaimer here, that intentionally i have not added usual and common suggestions like baking, cooking favorite food etc., as those are expected to take place anyways! As well, due to 'Covid 19 -lockdown' around the globe, i tried to propose indoor activities which can take place with minimum efforts!
So let's head on to explore!
1. Spend together to explore better
Number one on my list is, Watching her favorite movie or tv show together....How many times do we really sit by her side and give preferences to her choices? i think this time rather than running away, lets come closer and give importance to her choice too!
2. Throw zoom party
Let's understand that the time demands social distancing not emotional distancing! If a crowded party can't take place, let's make an effort to arrange a zoom online party with all her closest and dearest people.
3. Pamper with a foot massage
Nothing better than pampering your mother with a foot massage! In hindu tradition it is said, when you touch the feet of an elder person, you are in turn blessed with knowledge, intellect, strength and fame. The saying itself says this is one of the opportunity towards wellness and divinity.
4. Plan a family game
Who all know their mother's favorite indoor game of all times?
An idea of arranging her favorite game between all family members, could be very fun to plan with, and in addition it also bring more strength, joy and feeling of unbreakable bond between.
5. Go through old albums
How many times, do we really sit together and go through 'The Old Family Album' and cherishing beautiful moments again?
An old family album is full of fun and emotions and an idea of re-living those moments, could be beautiful for her to cherish!
6.Head to yoga with her
A good habit makes life longer... yoga brings peace and balance in life, and a family does it together, makes it more effective. Lets stick and make her feel that you truly care and share the bond with her!
7. Deck out dinner
Not just making dinner but serving with special way also an additional surprise! Isn't is makes you feel special when dinner is served to you in a decorative way? So let's add a step to decorate the dining with available things around, or just few candles are enough to flash the magic!
8. Plant a plant for her
What a wonderful gift, which grows larger with time!... though there are restrictions due to Covid19-lockdown, but a diy decorative planter set could be interesting! Go creative with things around the home for this one!
9. Let her explore her passion project
This one could be life changing!...How many of us know our moms? There could be many times, our mothers made sacrifices due to several restrictions or reasons around. Let's make an effort this time to help her out exploring that one passion which is been gilded in her life since long and try an effort to make it come alive! Atleast this much we all can do. Right?
10. Give her diy nail art
Let's be very creative on this one...A personalized and customized nail art could be fun and amazing to try out. Right?
11. Plan a jokes session for her
In the times of gadgets, the saying of 'A Family That Laugh Together Stays Together' is somewhere fading off. Let's spare some time from mobiles and laptops and laugh out loud with her.
12. Start the day with a surprise favorite song or chant
Music has the power to bring joy and happiness anywhere anytime, and a favorite track can make this happen in no time...Got it? So let's hit on
That's it for now, I believe that we all promise to be the reason to bring a smile on our mothers face this Mother's Day!
I hope these suggestions will help you to be more creative and explore how you want to surprise her...
