Make a scrapbook<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stuck for Mother\u2019s Day activities? Well, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-scrapbook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">making a scrapbook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a really sweet idea for Mother\u2019s Day \u2013 and even better, it gives you a couple of options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Option one:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If your mum loves a trip down memory lane, then make some time together to go through old photo albums and make a scrapbook of favourite mother-child memories. Take the time to ask her about her life, and find out more about her childhood and parents. You could even get your grandma involved and create a history of your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Option two:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other option involves creating<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a scrapbook for your mum for Mother\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Day. Just collect pictures of your favourite family holidays, day trips, and special occasions, giving her a keepsake of all the good times you\u2019ve shared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a02. Treat her to a girly pamper day<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for things to do for Mother\u2019s Day that involve a whole lot of relaxing, why not treat your mum to a good old-fashioned pamper session? Take her to her fave spa and relaaaaax for a day of pampering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, if you\u2019re feeling creative, why not have an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/home-spa-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at-home spa day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Think face masks, prosecco on ice, some of her favourite sweet treats and bubble bath from her favourite spa brand. Wrap it all up in a little hamper and drop it off at the door, then text your dad and make sure he makes himself scarce so she can really kick back and relax!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a03. Treat her to her favourite cocktail<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for Mother\u2019s Day activities for adults? Well, whether you\u2019re a cocktail-making maestro or an aperitif amateur, treat your mum to her favourite tipple! Brushing up on your mixologist skills is a super fun, unique activity that she\u2019s bound to enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure where to begin? Don\u2019t worry, as we\u2019ve pulled together some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/botanical-cocktail-ideas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">botanical cocktail ideas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to inspire you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a04. Prepare a homemade meal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better way to treat your mum than preparing her a homemade meal this Mother\u2019s Day?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re thinking a hearty, fresh Italian pasta dish followed by her favourite dessert. Then to make the evening extra special, set the table with taper candles, and add a bunch of flowers in her favourite colour to really show her how much you care. You could even go the extra mile and handwrite her a bespoke menu (which we\u2019re sure she\u2019ll treasure forever). Just tell her to close her eyes, relax, and imagine she\u2019s dining in a piazza in Rome\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we\u2019re not all culinary geniuses. So, if your mum loves getting dressed up, take her out for dinner at her favourite restaurant; all paid for by you and the family, obviously, so she can go wild with the starter menu or order her favourite fancy cocktails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a05. Go on a day trip or a weekend getaway<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your mum is the kind of person who loves new experiences and places, then a great way to show her some appreciation is to find a new place she\u2019s never been to before and go make some fab memories!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether for the day or the weekend, plan out all the sights you want to show your mum and then act as a tour guide for her as you explore a new location, visit the shops and cafes, and end the day in a nice local restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a06. Breakfast in bed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your usual routine of things to do for Mother\u2019s Day \u2013 breakfast in bed, a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/flowers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">card and flowers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0in a vase \u2013 don\u2019t have to stop just because you\u2019re not 5 anymore. Some of the sweetest Mother\u2019s Day ideas can be easily adapted for grownups with a little bit of planning and preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live close to your mum, make her favourite breakfast in bed, pack it up in Tupperware and bring it t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o her door. If you\u2019re not confident that your preparations will stay war<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">m during the journey, go for some classic Danish pastries and croissants for an elegantly European breakfast. And if you\u2019re a long way away, you could even order in from a local caf\u00e9 and have them deliver breakfast for her with a little note to say Happy Mother\u2019s Day!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a07. Decorate her front door<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother\u2019s Day ideas like this involve a little bit more preparation, but it\u2019s guaranteed to make her day. When you drop off her Mother\u2019s Day card and gift, coordinate with your mum\u2019s partner\/your siblings to keep her busy, and take time to decorate her front door with a special display!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think a pretty spring wreath, a homemade sign, balloons or cu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t-out some letters saying \u2018Happy Mother\u2019s Day!\u2019 When she opens her door, she\u2019ll be delighted with a surprise burst of cheer \u2013 and everyone on her street will know just how m<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uch you love and value your mum. It\u2019s like a mini-Christmas, just for her.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a08. Get crafting together<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a more hands-on approach to celebrating mum appreciation day, why not delve into the world of arts and crafts? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s a soap or a candle your mum really likes, have a go at making it together! We\u2019re not promising you\u2019ll be able to recreate her favourite posh candle on the first attempt (Tom Ford eat your heart out), but you\u2019ll have plenty of fun attempting to recreate it \u2013 or experimenting to make something entirely new!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a09. Arrange a Mother\u2019s Day picnic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are countless Mother\u2019s Day activities, but there\u2019s nothing quite like a Mother\u2019s Day picnic. Head to the shops and stock up on all your mum\u2019s fave snacks (including sweet treats, drinks, and sandwiches). Th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">en, head to a nearby park and bask in the spring sunshine (weather permitting, of course).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the weather\u2019s not on your side this Mother\u2019s Day, why not bring your picnic indoors, and set your table afternoon tea style? Indulge in scones, jam, and cream to let your mum know just how much you love her. Sounds delicious, right? Well, we\u2019ve got a full guide on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/mothers-day-afternoon-tea-ideas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother\u2019s Day afternoon tea ideas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a010. Get outside<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking of ideas for Mother\u2019s Day is a difficult task, but it isn\u2019t always about grand gestures, huge plans, and expensive gifts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes something as simple as grabbing a coffee and taking a walk in your mum\u2019s favourite nature spot will make her day one to remember. Put your phones away and spend real quality time together laughing, rem<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iniscing, and taking in the special day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be clich\u00e9, but often, the greatest gift you can give your mum is your time. So, if you\u2019re wondering what to do for Mother\u2019s Day this year, simply head outside and spend the day chatting, walking, and enjoying each other\u2019s company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother\u2019s Day activities for kids\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we go, we thought we\u2019d give you just a couple of ideas that are especially perfect for kids to get involved with. After all, if the little ones are happy and entertained, mum\u2019s bound to have a much more chilled day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a011. Have a movie day\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the weather\u2019s not particularly great but you still want to do something fun, why not have a family movie marathon this Mother\u2019s Day? The kids will be happily entertained for hours, and it will give mum the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax, and have a much-deserved chill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get all the classic cinema snacks (we\u2019re thinking popcorn, chocolate, and sweets) then settle down <\/span>to a day of chilling out and being together.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a012.
