You don’t have to wait until Mother’s Day to show your mum that you appreciate her. You could clean the house for her when she’s had a tough day at work or send her a surprise present. Make memories with your mum and let her know just how much you love her.

Here are a few ideas on how you can show your mum you appreciate her.

Give her a gift

Give your mum a chocolate hamper to say thank you for something she did for you recently, or just as a kind gesture. You don’t need a reason to send a gift – often, the best gifts are the unexpected ones.

Create a video

If your siblings live all over the country or even the world, your mum might be missing having you all together. You could create a compilation video for her and have each sibling record a little message about how much they appreciate her. You could talk about a special memory or give her an update on where your life is right now.

If video editing isn’t your strong point, create a photo album instead. Print off some old family photos and stick them into a journal with a caption under each one. Share your early memories and ask each member of your family to submit a few photos as well. Your mum can cherish the photo album for years to come.

Take her on holiday

Go big or go home, right? Book a holiday for you and your mum so you can spend some quality time together. Many families spent months apart in the last year or more and missed out on major holiday get-togethers such as Christmas. Take your mum on a fun holiday and make sure there are a few days of relaxation booked in as well. You could take her somewhere she’s always wanted to go – or surprise her with a nostalgic destination!

Clean her house

Sometimes all your mum needs is a little bit of help around the house. Surprise her by cleaning the house when she’s at work so she can come home to a relaxing and tidy space. Finish the gesture off with a vase of fresh flowers on the kitchen table and a note saying how much you love her.

You could even set out a glass of wine and a pizza ready for her to eat when she gets home. If your mum has a chaotic life, she’ll probably appreciate a chance to relax alone over a fun-filled activity day.

Do something to show your mum you love and appreciate her today!
