Mother’s Day is approaching quickly! I was just speaking to a client of ours from Ottawa, IL asking me what she should do for her mother this year. Her mother moved to LaSalle, IL and she wanted to figure out something different to do besides a bouquet of flowers and a card.
If you are looking for some good ideas try one or a combination of these:
- Take her shopping for clothes. Make it strictly about your mom. No shopping for you! Give your opinion about how she looks in that blouse or pair of shoes.
- Get out in the garden and plant some flowers. Start in the morning going with your mom to pick out flowers, followed by a light lunch and planting them in the garden mid afternoon.
- Treat her to a spa and lunch experience. Find a place that you can get a treatment together. Example: Side by side pedicures. Enjoy some wine and appetizers and stay relaxed.
- Go for a walk at Starved Rock State Park and enjoy the nice morning. Have breakfast at Nonie’s on their patio.
- Ongoing subscriptions: Get her an ongoing service gift certificate for house cleaning, window cleaning, salon, or massages. Don’t forget about a binge watching subscription to Netflix!
Whatever you decide, put a little thought into it and don’t wait until last minute!
