1. A SPECIAL MOTHER’S DAY VIDEO 

Editing a video may seem scary, but it’s actually quite easy! Gather all the family members (and maybe a few close friends) and have them share why mom is special to you all. In the video, you can add some photos and videos of moments you’ve shared with her. Both Apple and Android app stores have plenty of free video editing apps to use. 

2. A HOME SPA DAY 

We’re definitely sure a few moms out there would love a relaxing spa day and while some spas cost a fortune, why not create your own at home? Every family member can take turns giving mom a massage, facial, or even painting her nails with some stunning nail polish. If it’s warm enough, maybe she can take a dip in the pool. 

3. WRITING A LETTER 

Writing a letter to express your gratitude is always a good idea. Mothers spend plenty of time loving and caring for us, so they would appreciate a heartfelt letter. After all, they’ve looked after us since we were born…

4. TAKE HER DOWN MEMORY LANE 

We all have a few photo albums collecting dust in our homes, why not blow it off and take a trip down memory lane. Mom might just cry from seeing us in our nappies and our little blazers on our first day of “big” school. 

5. COOK A DELICIOUS LUNCH 

Good food is always a perfect way to bond with a loved one. As the weather gets cooler across the country, you might want to spoil mom with a winter warmer. Maybe a delicious oxtail or a beef stew. For dessert, you could make a scrumptious chocolate cake or tasty malva pudding!
