Celebrate Your Mum On Mother's Day

With Mother's Day just around the corner, Sunday May 10th, it's easy to do the same old activities or just buy chocolates and flowers for your mother dearest. Instead of these unoriginal ways to show your appreciation for your original caregiver, we've thought of 6 imaginative and fun ways to make your mum smile on her special day.

Schedule Hug and Story Time
Sure, you've done hug time before and sure you've probably also read a story with her. But what about combining the two? It's moments like this your mum will cherish forever.
For the more adventurous, why not try spicing it up a little and create your own story to read to your mother on her special day. Writing and illustrating a simple story about you and your mum will really show you care for her.

Buy her a Star
Not all things last forever, but a star certainly comes close. Show your appreciation for your mother and buy her a star, then she can look up at the sky every night and think of how much you love her.
The simple task of naming a star after your mum will not only bring a smile to her face, but leave her shining for hours. What's better than seeing your mother glow on her day?
There are several websites available where you can purchase the right to a star.

Making breakfast in bed with Macabella
For a twist on the traditional breakfast in bed, why not try using the new and luxurious cocoa and macadamia blend, Macabella spread. This new macadamia nut infused chocolate spread will be the special ingredient for the perfect start to her day.

Create an Album of your Favourite Photos
With so many of our photos and memories being kept on social media, very rarely do we actually get to properly appreciate our most cherished pics.
To highlight your favourite moments with mum, print out your best photos and create an album to give to her on Mother's Day. Not only will this show off your creativity, but it will bring back the warm and fuzzy feelings from your day to the Zoo or picnic in the park.

Travel to your local Flip Out
If you have a more active mother, why not try taking her for a day trip to your local Flip Out, Australia's leading trampolining arena. Flip Out is the perfect family activity, as it doesn't have any height or weight restrictions, meaning that the whole family can bounce around for hours. Not only is trampolining a lot of fun, but it is a great way to release endorphins, making it an exciting way to spend Mother's Day.
With 36 locations around the country, there is bound to be a Flip Out close to you.

Use your Green Thumb
There's nothing quite like doing an activity with your mum to show her your appreciation. For mums that are into horticulture, it could be a nice idea to plant a tree in the backyard. Then, whenever your mum looks at the tree she will think of you.
For those who don't have the space to plant an entire tree, perhaps it might be a nice idea to buy a small pot plant that you and your mother can nurture together.
