Mothers’ Day is right around the corner, however, if you’re reading this right now then it’s probably today — but don’t fret! Here are five wonderful gift ideas to give to your mom that all say, “I didn’t just realize that it’s Mothers’ Day— I’ve been preparing this for weeks!”
Bouquet of Flowers
So, you woke up and saw several Mothers’ Day posts from your friends on your feed. No worries! Simply go to nearly every grocery store within a five-mile radius from your apartment to find this one bouquet that wasn’t damaged by all of the other people rushing to buy flowers, and your mom will hopefully never know! Favorite child award, here you come!
Customized Mug
Just a quick disclaimer: this one only works if your mom has a fairly common name, so if yours doesn’t then you should probably skip this suggestion, but if you’re still here, then picking up a mug with your mother’s name on it from an entire collection of mugs with different names on them is a great way to show your mom that she means the world to you. Plus, she’ll never know that you picked it this morning in a cold sweat!
Cake with a Personalized Message
Everyone knows that when you get a cake you have to order it days in advance, unless you waited until the last second to rush to several different bakeries to find a cake that said “Happy Mothers’ Day” to give to your mom like you did! Luckily, lots of bakeries have people like you in mind, so you won’t have to just get a card this year! You could also just get her a pastry, but your siblings will probably outdo you.
Spa Day
Cancel your plans because you’re going on an impromptu spa trip with mumzy today! She’ll be thrilled when you tell her that you’re getting mani-pedis or at her favorite spa at the peculiarly placed time slot of 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. Have fun, you two!
Surprise Dinner
Whether you choose to host her at your house or invite her to meet you at a restaurant on a whim despite telling you that you made a reservation weeks in advance, a nice surprise dinner is sure to bring a smile to your mom’s face. She deserves it! And she also deserves to never know you orchestrated this on the day of the holiday.
So, if you’re finding yourself stuck this Mothers’ Day, pick one of these options to give your mom that Mother’s Day she’s always dreamed of: one where you don’t wake up and immediately realize it was Mother’s Day. It’ll be our little secret!
