There is very little left for us to celebrate Mother's Day, surely those of your children who go to school will already have a gift prepared for that day that surely has cost them a lot to keep secret, mine has had to be their mother who has told you that please do not tell her what surprise they have prepared and yet we have not gotten rid of a spoiler.
But we don't always need material souls, although there is always a whim we have in mind. Today we want to help you with some ideas of immaterial gifts for mom in her day, because money is not always what counts and because there are details that reach the heart directly.
The classics
The dream, one of the most appreciated assets at the same time as few in motherhood, especially in the first years. Who does not long to be able to sleep ten hours in a row some night or even half. Being able to spend a Sunday snooping and swirling when you are a father is something that you can't pay with money. That is why we can give mom a voucher for "X" hours, put what you want, but be realistic or you will have to give a bonus of hours (which is also not a bad idea) so you can spend throughout the year. A bonus of "staying in bed and not getting up early tomorrow" for six times (or more) is a great gift.
Involving the little ones
Decontracting, relaxing, lymphatic drainage, reorganization of farms ... there are thousands, the case is to give one of them and put all our best efforts and willingness to do well. If you do not trust your manual dexterity I recommend that you either choose a simple one, or that it is a professional center in charge of giving it, today there is a wide variety of offers tailored to all budgets. This is the "professional option", but that of "true professionals" could be that it is your own children who give the massage. It does not matter if we are not able to remove that contracture that has been there since breastfeeding, the important thing is to pamper mom a little.
Here we can involve the little ones of the house by helping them with the purchase of the different elements, in the placement and design of the room and above all, helping to create a relaxed atmosphere (which is what this basically consists of too) . We will try to create an ambient bathroom, with music at just the right volume and very dim light to try to cancel the stimuli of everyday life and thus be able to concentrate on relaxing.
Ingredients:
Tips:
We have to remember that we talk about relax and you will understand that having children entering every five minutes to see how everything is going and if mom is relaxed, or not, or in what degree of relaxation she is, no matter how good she is, at the end of relaxing she has little. So it would be good to try, that for an hour or two there were no children in half a kilometer around.
Record a video
We don't need to be Scorsese, but surely we can record something that makes Mom happy. Dressing up and representing a little story, reading a poem or singing a song can be a simple thing to do and that will surely bring a smile, and some tears, to mom.
Write a letter
Surely during this week the kids will have come home with more than one drawing, but something that is being forgotten more and more, especially with this technological life we lead, is writing letters. I am sure that if your children will love to show mom everything they know how to do and the older ones, including parents, we can do the same, we are sure that we have guaranteed surprise. Of course, try to be more than one dedication.
A play
Why not recreate a small stage at home and represent a story, or for the elderly, a small play? In addition, we have the advantage that if we do not arrive in time for Mother's Day we can give mom an entry for the day of the premiere that can be in a week or two.
Help prepare mom's breakfast and take her to bed
Nothing better to reinforce the self-esteem of the little ones than to let them do older things. Being able to prepare breakfast for mom will surely be a fun time. The most important thing is that they can be involved according to their capacity, it is clear that knives and hot liquids will be better handled by dad or the elderly, but spread a toast, put the toast in the toaster, take the dishes to the room are tasks that the little ones can do. They will feel very old and proud to help dad and be able to prepare a super breakfast for Mother's Day.
These are some of our ideas, but I am sure that you will come up with many more, if you want to tell them we are all ears. We hope you have been helpful and as a contribution of ideas for that special day, although remember: Mother is every day.
