Things to do on Mother’s Day

If you’re looking for the best way to make your mum feel like the absolute queen that she is this Mother’s Day, then you’re in the right place. Whether you’re spending it together at home, meeting up somewhere mutual or celebrating it long-distance, we’ve rounded up the best things to do on Mother’s Day so you, and your family, can make it one to remember!  

Mother’s Day Activities at Home

Whether you’re living at home or close enough to pop round on Sunday 27th March (get it in the diary, kids), then there is plenty of fun Mother’s Day activities you can get involved in. Here’s a pick of our faves: 

Spruce up the garden

With Mother’s Day being at the start of spring, it’s the perfect time to give your mum a helping hand in the garden. You can even get the whole family involved, and every time mum sees the flowers in bloom, she’ll be reminded of the day you spent together. Beautiful!  

Breakfast in bed

Sometimes, you can’t go wrong with the classics! Let mum have a well-deserved lie-in before waking her up with breakfast in bed. Ensure to include all her favourites foods and be sure to clean up the kitchen after!   

Have a pizza party

If dinner is on the cards, but cooking an extravagant meal is a bit out of your comfort zone, why not have some fun making pizza? Children of any age will love rolling out the dough, picking toppings and enjoying a freshly made meal with mum. Give it a go!  

Meeting up with Mum Outside

Are you looking for Mother’s Day activities to do in the great outdoors? Dig out your comfiest shoes and give one of these ideas a go.  

Head to the beach

So, in the UK, the weather may be a bit temperamental, but if the sun is shining on Mother’s Day this year, why not head to the beach? Pack the car up early with a picnic, throw in your towels, SPF and spend the day making new memories.   

Hunt for deals at a market

Does mum love a bargain? If so, head to your nearest market to pick up some new treasures. Haven’t got mum a gift yet? Perhaps you can treat her to something that catches her eye here, whether that’s a new trinket, piece of clothing or food item!  

Set up a scavenger hunt

Get the whole family involved with a planned scavenger hunt. Write a list of objects to find and tasks to complete and split the family up into teams. The first team to complete everything on the list wins! Why not add some Mother’s Day inspired tasks to the challenge, such as taking a photo with mum in her favourite spot?  

Celebrating Mother’s Day Long-Distance

You can still go above and beyond this Mother’s Day, even if you live apart. Make mum feel totally and utterly loved with our long-distance Mother’s Day activity ideas.  

Take an online cooking class

Cook up a storm in the kitchen with mum this Mother’s Day with an online cooking class. Whether mum’s fond of the signature dishes of Italy or fancies trying her hand at Thai cuisine, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of online cooking courses you can get involved in together. Once you’re finished, you can sit down for a virtual chit chat over your freshly cooked meals.  

Book mum in for a pamper session

Pamper session on Mother’s Day? Yes, please! Whether you can be with her or not, there’s no stopping you from booking mum in for a fancy blow-dry or a relaxing mani-pedi in your absence. We bet she’ll come out feeling like a million dollars!  

Send mum a scrapbook

Feel closer than ever by sending mum a personalised (or even handmade) scrapbook of all your favourite memories together. Imagine her face when she spends Mothering Sunday flipping through each page, remembering the fun you had together – whether you’re there with her or not! It’s a gift she can treasure forever.
