Mother's Day can get very expensive and personally your love should be shown every day of the year not just one. Some people do go over the top and I guess if you have the money then why not but you can easily get good stuff now days that are budget friendly. This year I got my mother a few random inexpensive items which she either picked out herself or I knew she wanted. Once you get the gifts out of the way it's time to think and plan what to do on the actual day. I think I'm going to take my mother to Costa for coffee and cake which is simple yet what she wants to do. Here are some ideas what to do on Sunday that I thought would be great for people on a budget who haven't got anything planned yet.
Eating out can become expensive but why not go to the shops, get the food you know are your mothers favourites and do a nice three course meal. You can also cook it together for some fun. Knowing you put a lot of effort and thought into this, mothers will appricate this a lot more than just going to a resturant.
Pamper Day/Night At Home :
Either make it into a all day thing or just the evening, this can be something fun and relaxing for the both of you. Get a Lush Fresh Face Mask, do a DIY foot soak followed by a pedicure which you can do each other's, put on a film or a tv programme you both like and not to forget get some treats and make a cuppa and simply relax. This can be a easy quick cheap idea as most items you have at home already.
Go For A Walk :
Something so simple yet something you may not even do any other day. If you got dogs even better but if not still do it. Even if it's for 30 minutes, it's still nice to just be alone and bond over a nice walk. We live next to a amazing part called the Windsor Great Park which is own by the royals which is open to the public and it literally goes on for miles. You could even take a blanket and a little picnic if the weather is nice. Even if you don't live near a park or can't get to a nice walking area just go for a walk around the area.
Coffee Time :
Pop to Costa, Starbucks, a local cafe or whatever your coffee place of choice is and go for a coffee and cake. Recently a Costa opened local to us so myself and mother been having the odd treat and it's so nice to be somewhere where you can sit down relax and have a nice chat over a coffee or two. We spent hours in Costa the other week and it was so nice to be out of the house and change of sencery. Can be costly if you spend hours like we did hahah but a lovely idea for coffee lovers.
Just Being There :
This is simply is what it says " Just being there". All mothers will appricate just being with their loved ones. We sometimes all get caught up with out lives and try too hard planning something amazing but just being there is simply enough. There nothing better than doing nothing with my Mother, we could just sit there and we would make each other laugh. If you don't live with your mother and can't afford to do anything simpg just pop round. Have a Cuppa, sit down have a chat. Stuff that are free and simple that we seem to not do enough.
So there are my ideas of what to do on Mothering Sunday if you want a quick easy cheap but thoughtful idea. Let me know what you guys are up to? Do you do something amazing that's planned ages ago or do you do any of the above
I mentioned? While writing this it made me realised I might go for a Walk with my mother on Sunday, something we don't do is just walk. We usually walk but to go somewhere so I think it will be nice to just go for a walk even for a hour with the dogs just us two having a nice chat :)
Happy Mothers Day :)
