A Flower of Love | Mother Day Flower

Mother’s Day has been with us for centuries, ever since the ancient Greeks held annual celebrations in honour of Rhea, mother of the gods. Now it has become one of the most favourite days of the year. Celebrating Mother’s Day has also become intertwined with thoughts of cards, candy, and of course, flowers. These are probably the most popular gift ideas for Mother’s Day. But there are also several other ways to spoil your mother; to make her feel special and loved and appreciated. Let me tell you about some of them.

First of all, Mother’s Day is not so much about showering your mom with gifts as it is showering her with love. So it doesn’t matter much you spent on the gifts – as long as your mom feels your love and affection that comes with every item you give her, that’s the most important thing.

If I may do so, let me suggest starting this special day by giving her a surprise treat, even before she gets out of bed! Wake up early in the morning and cook up a delicious breakfast just for her. All the things that she loves to eat and drink early in the morning, whether it is toast, eggs, bacon, tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juices. Load it up on a tray and deliver it straight to her for a nice breakfast in bed. There’s not a single mom in the world who wouldn’t be thrilled to be brought breakfast in bed by her child, whether 4 or 40 years old!

Do be careful with the noise you’re making in the kitchen, though. I’ve heard that one of the rare luxuries for moms today is to be able to sleep-in late, especially during a Sunday morning, so you have to time it just right. You don’t want to deliver breakfast to an irritable mom in bed, do you? If you’re afraid of messing up in the kitchen, you can always order a special gift basket loaded with goodies that your mom will surely love, from cheese to chocolates and everything in between. And oh, regarding the kitchen, don’t even think of letting her do the dishes!

And while we’re talking about Mother’s Day surprises, why not leave a fresh bouquet of flowers on her bedside table, for her to look at and greet her with a lovely burst of colour when she wakes up? It beats just going up to her and handing her a bunch of flowers, that’s for sure. Of course, it wouldn’t be right without a card. And when it comes to cards, a handmade card always means more than something you just bought from a store. So go out and grab some art supplies, and let your creativity – and hopefully, your talent – flow.

Now that we’ve started her day right, it’s time to turn it up a notch or two. Take your mother out for some pampering. It can be a relaxing picnic, a hearty lunch, or even a gorgeous dinner at her favourite restaurant. Better yet, take her to dinner somewhere that she’s always been dreaming of going to. It’s going to be a part of her special memories, you can be sure of that. But don’t stop there. Treat her to a relaxing massage or a day at the spa. There are lots of holistic treatments like shiatsu, reiki, reflexology and aromatherapy to make your mom feel on top of the world. Again, if you don’t have the budget to splurge on these, worry not. You can always get a pack of aromatherapy oils for her, plus several other pampering kits that will make your mom feel like a queen.
