5 Unique Ways to Celebrate Mother's Day

Music is something that is loved by all. At times of sadness and joy, we listen to songs that tend to match our mood. Our mothers, too, have their own taste in music, and most of them still relish their time’s music. Today, you do not need to get 8mm tapes or CDs of different albums, select the songs, and then burn them onto a CD or DVD. You can simply go on to online platforms where it is completely free to make a playlist. You are sure to know her favourite chart-toppers (or you can ask your father). Be it Kishore Kumar and the Vengaboys, or even recent artists like Arijit Singh and Dua Lipa, you can compile all the tracks to which your mother can bop her head or tap her feet! This is surely one of the unique ways to celebrate mothers day, and your mom will love it!

Ever since we were plunged into the confines of our homes, going out and having a good time has never been the same. We agree that celebrating inside your homes is not as fun, but it can be if we make it. The same goes for something like mother’s day. In normal times, where you would take your mom out for a lavish dinner or a movie, now you can very well do those things in the comfort of your humble abode and more! Simply ask your mom what she loves to do and plan accordingly. You can watch her favourite movies, play a board game, or simply have a heartfelt conversation and relish the moments of the past. Do not forget to get some snacks or you can go that extra mile and make some of her favourite food.

Every family has a trove of pictures and albums which document the very special moments in the parents as well as the children’s lives. A recent internet trend has seen countless people recreating these treasured family snapshots with their parents, some even recreating decades-old photos! So, why should you be left out? Gather around your siblings or cousins or whoever was present in the few pictures from your childhood. Make sure you get the costume, location, and accessories spot on. Once you find the perfect recreation, frame it and give it to your mother. A gift like this will surely adorn the mother’s day celebration. What’s more? You will make more memories while recreating the past memories!

What can be better than planning some fun activities together? But before you do so, find out what your mother would like to do. Suppose you and your mother are fitness freaks or like a good workout. In that case, mother’s day is the perfect opportunity to sweat it out with her. There are a lot of apps and platforms on which you both can do a session together. First, find a suitable spot where you can exercise. Put on some music to get you in the mood. And then begin the video. Apart from generic workout videos, you can also find other fun activities like a Zumba class or yoga, perhaps. You can ask your mother her choice and then choose one accordingly. At the end of the whole session, be it vigorous exercise or a bout of groovy dancing, both of you will feel energised. And if not, you at least had a special bonding moment with your mom!

One of the best mother’s day celebration ideas can be to take your mom out for a picnic. There is nothing better than revelling in nature with your loved ones. It is not feasible to take her out in a crowded place for a meal or movie, especially in the current scenario. If you have a backyard garden, then there is nothing like it. A roof can do the job as well. But if you do not have that luxury, you can always search for some calm, serene, and secluded parks or fields where you and your mother can enjoy a peaceful day. Moreover, you can make her favourite sandwiches and quick bites and surprise her with the same. We assure you, a picnic together will not only be relaxing but also bring you both a little closer. Even if you are in an entirely different country or continent, you can have a virtual picnic with a simple tap on your phone. Just ask your mother to sit down somewhere with some snacks and you do the same!

There are innumerable ways to celebrate the day with your mother on this mother’s day. That being said, limiting our appreciation for the one who brought us into this world to only a day is somewhat not done. Whenever you get a chance, even if it is an hour from your busy schedules, just make a call to your mother. Ask her about her day and talk to her. Rest assured, this will be much better and precious than any gift you give her.
