Mother’s Day is dedicated to sharing your love and thanks toward the mothers in your life. While these women deserve to be honored every day, this is the perfect excuse to celebrate them a little extra! Instead of purchasing a store-bought gift this year, try sharing something extra personal that is sure to be remembered. 

Check out these meaningful ways to show the women in your life just how much they matter to you!

Homemade beauty products
Do-it-yourself personal care products are a fun way to show your mom you care about what she uses in her self-care routine. There are a variety of simple homemade beauty recipes you can create with items likely already in your kitchen pantry. From body scrubs to lotion bars to face masks, they’ll all make her feel great. 

Breakfast in bed
There’s nothing quite like waking up to your favorite breakfast! Give your mom a break from making breakfast for herself and bring it to her instead. Whether she prefers a simple smoothie or an elaborate array of foods, take the time to make it special for her by sprinkling your love into the ingredients.

A handwritten letter
With technology so present in everyday life, it might be hard to think of the last time you wrote a letter. The added touch of a letter written by hand that shares how truly special your mom is can mean more than something typed or printed.

Family brunch
A perfect way to celebrate the ones who are special to you is by spending time with them. Schedule a brunch at her favorite spot and invite the people who matter most to her. Having everyone in one place might not be typical, so use this day as a reason to get all the people your mom treasures together.

Photo book
A picture says a thousand words, so an entire book can say millions! A photo album or book is a great way to keep memories you’ve shared together and a nice touch to your mom’s home for guests to enjoy as well. 

Cooking class
Share your passion for food and cooking with your mother by taking a cooking class together. Cooking is an exciting way to enjoy each other’s company and create something together. You may both learn something new and take home new cooking skills to apply in your own kitchens.

Personalized cutting board
Does your mom have a go-to recipe that she’s known for and shares with the world? Have it etched into a cutting board that she can use every day! It’s a friendly reminder that her recipes bring joy to so many others.
