Lovely Mother's Day Surprise - Gift your Mom a Perfect Day with These Ideas

Good Morning Sunshine, with mother’s day coming up we want to show you how we create the perfect mother’s day surprise for our mom. You can use this information to find ideas to spoil your mom. We always try to start a day before so mother’s day is stress-free!

Mother’s Day Preparation Day:

1. Cause A Distraction

In order to surprise our Mom, we need her to leave the house for a while. Now it’s time to get her partner, some family members, or friends to take her out.

You can plan this in advance. You might:

Gift her with a spa day
Ask someone to take her out for dinner and a movie
Plan a trip

2. Prepare A Mother’s Day Dessert

Think about what kind of desert your mom would like. Our Mom loves cake, Tiramisu, Cream Puffs and Braided Bread. Check out Pinterest for Mother’s Day Dessert Ideas!

Since you want to have time for your Mom on Mother’s Day prepare the dessert for afternoon coffee in advance.

3. Craft her a Mother’s Day Surprise Gift Card

Each year we would create our Mom a sincere gift card. Our Mom likes it, when our presents are thoughtful. Don’t just buy a gift at the counter. Create one!

Here are some gift card ideas. The cute thing each year our Mom would keep the cards. Tell your mom why she is the most awesome mom ever!

You can include:

A message from the heart
A cute Poem
Pictures you took together
A coupon for quality time together

4. Do some Pre-Mother’s Day Cleaning

Which Mom doesn’t like it, when you clean up her place? Ok well don’t answer that :’)

Our Mom likes it, when we take over some house chores. Just don’t throw anything or Mother’s Day might end bloody. Some tasks like mowing the lawn are exhausting for her. Therefore, you can use the time she is away to help her out.

5. Do your Mother’s Day Shopping!

We will prepare food on Mother’s Day. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee, and dinner. Now it’s time to get all the stuff that you need. It’s also your chance to get a last-minute present. 😉

6. Prepare Cute Notes for Mother’s Day

We are planning to write cute little notes and hide them where we do something for her.

For example, a note that says:

Because you always cook for us
Because you always support us

Mother’s Day

1. Wake up Early

Our goal is to wake up early and to prepare everything before our mother wakes up. This can be a real mission as our mom wakes up super early

Go to bed early
Set several alarms or let your siblings wake you up (Be careful so that the volume doesn’t wake up your mom )

2. Pick Wild Flowers

Our Mom loves flowers from the fields. As soon as we get up we go out and pick some flowers. We sometimes borrow some from our grandma’s garden as well 😉

It’s a family tradition she always used to pick wildflowers for her Mom as well.

3. Hide the Notes

Once we are back we will hide the cute notes we prepared yesterday all around the house.

4. Make Breakfast

Bread with butter and marmalade. Our mother’s favorite breakfast.

Cute breakfast ideas:

Heart-shaped pancakes with Nutella and strawberries
Bake a heart-shaped bread
A nicely decorated yogurt cup with blueberries

5. Cuddle Mom Awake

What makes someone feel more loved than being woken up with a hug? Hopefully, she is still asleep or at least stayed in bed until then.

6. Present her with a Self-Written Poem

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I can’t rhyme but so can’t you. – Carina

Hey, at least I am trying! – Julia

Just kidding, write something sweet!

7. Give her a Massage

The more children the better! Each child can massage a limb.

8. Take Pictures Together throughout the day

My sister has an Instax. For such occasions, we bring out the big guns :’) We spend hardly enough time with our parents as we grow up. Pictures are perfect for lasting memories!

9. Prepare her favorite dish for lunch

The way to a (wo)man’s heart is through his (her) stomach. So let’s grab the pots and pans and prepare some yummy food!

Meal ideas for Mother’s Day:

Crunchy Salmon with a light lemon marinade and buttered vegetables
Baked chicken in a juicy mushroom sauce, wild rice, and a small salad on the side
Homemade bolognese sauce with spaghetti and fresh basil leaves.

10. Do the Dishes

Now, this is the real way to a mother’s heart. 💘Doing the dishes. Breakfast, lunch, coffee, dinner that’s a lot of dishes! Don’t leave them up to your mom. That would be right evil.

11. Take a walk

What can you do despite the pandemic? Taking a walk. Lucky us we are living close to a national park.I really hope the weather will be nice. Since our grandma has passed we visit her grave each Mother’s Day as well.

12. Present the Cake

🍰

13. Prepare a Barbecue, Snacks and Wine

This year we are planning to do a barbecue! I am very excited about that. The weather is finally getting nicer. We will prepare some snacks in advance and make it fancy with some wine and candles.

14. Watch her favorite movie

Romance. Romance. And more romance! Today our mother will be the remote queen!

Wrapping it Up …

Whatever you do for your mother on Mother’s Day. Put some effort into it. Show her how much you care! Gift her with your time. Be mindful and really think about what she wants. Time is so precious. For all of you Mothers and Kids out there we hope you spend some amazing quality time together. Or if that’s not possible have a great Skype Date!

Love from Germany,

Julia & Carina
