She wiped the blood off your knee while you cried hysterically at age five; she spent HOURS picking the nits out of your hair when you were nine; she taught you how to apply lipstick without getting it on your teeth for your first disco; she bought you chocolate when your heart was broken and she was there when you started your own family - now it’s time to treat your mum like the queen that she totally is.
While you are bound to want to be spoilt a little yourself on Mother's Day, your mum absolutely deserves to be spoilt just that teeny bit more!
1. An Afternoon Tea experience (at a fancy hotel if you're feeling generous!):
2. Cook her dinner at home with ALL the trimmings!
3. Treat her (and yourself) to a spa day:
4. Get the cake mix out and start baking:
5. Give her the gift of jewellery - every woman's best friend!
SHARE to let the world know how much you love your mum!
You can’t beat an afternoon of mini sandwiches, cakes and tea, can you?! Most hotels do their own Afternoon Tea and with prices ranging from the inexpensive to the very dear, you’ll definitely find something that is within your budget; Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa does an incredible spread from 12pm until 6pm.
If you don’t have the budget for a meal out, why not stay at home and cook your mum a Sunday roast instead – just think of ALL those dinners she cooked for you! The kids can act as waiters and take the orders, and if you have the time why not whip up an apple crumble and serve it warm with a dollop of ice-cream. Yum!
Treat your mum to a relaxing spa experience with a beautifully presented Seoid Spa gift voucher. Located at Dunboyne Castle, she’ll feel blissfully pampered and re-energised with their Sleep Deeply 85 minute full body massage or their award-winning Soothing Rose facial. Alternatively, you can always choose from a wonderful range of beauty gift sets from their world class partners, including Image Skincare, Voya and Aromatherapy Associates.
Nothing says 'I love you' quite like a tasty homemade treat lovingly decorated by the kids. To speed things up, you can bake the buns in the evening while your little ones are in bed and then give them free rein to decorate as they see fit - plenty of Smarties, jellies, chocolates and sprinkles.
If your mum is big on her jewellery, why not treat her to a necklace engraved with her grandkids' names. A lovely gesture that she'll not only be proud to wear but is sure to cherish for a long time to come. Perfect.
