My husband never fails to make me feel special on Mother’s Day. My son and him always connive and share secrets with each other in regards to my Mother’s Day surprises. But more often than not, although there were Mother’s Day surprises for me all the time, some of those were not all that much of a surprise anymore because my husband usually asks me if there’s anything I want for that special day…referring to shopping. And of course, I always have an answer for it. I excitedly tell him all the time what I want. 😉
So with Mother’s Day celebration coming this Sunday, I decided to give dads ideas for Mother’s Day that the wives would love. Some of these ideas have not been done by the hubs yet, so this is also kind of giving him a hint also because whenever he asked me what I want…it just always goes to material things when in fact it could also be other things.
1) BREAKFAST IN BED
Start the day by waking her up with a kiss or a hug while carrying all her favorite breakfast goodies to her on a tray. I’d be all delighted to have breakfast in bed…one thing that the hubs has not done for me yet. Paging my hubby! 😉
2) FLOWERS
I love flowers! My flower garden can attest to that. But I also love receiving a bouquet of flowers. And they don’t have to be expensive flowers from a flower shop. Any flowers would delight me even if you bought them cheap or they’re just wild flowers you picked somewhere. It’s the thought that counts after all.
3) HOMEMADE CARD
Nothing is more special to me than a homemade card. The effort that comes with it is what melts my heart. And those sweet words from the little ones can’t be beat.
4) LUNCH DATE TOGETHER
Just the two of you and minus the little ones for a little while. Make her feel how you appreciate her as your wife and the mom of your kids.
5) GIFT SHE WANTS
All of us has something we need and there is also that something that we want. What we want doesn’t have to be expensive though. But if you can afford to splurge on what your wife wants, then why not? I always give my husband hints on what I know he can afford. 😉
6) DINNER WITH THE KIDS
Having dinner with your kids is just the sweetest. They are the reason on why you’re celebrating this special day after all.
7) A FULL BODY MASSAGE
End the celebration with this. I love a good whole body massage. I would love to have one every night! Nonetheless, having it even only on Mother’s Day would suffice. At least it wouldn’t only feel good, it would be so special too.
Since Mother’s Day is a whole day event, why not spend every minute of it celebrating? Without a doubt, any mom would feel extra-special and over the moon if you start making her special from morning until night time. Don’t you think so?
These are some lovely ideas, there is nothing quite like getting a fresh bunch of beautiful flowers as well. That is definitely top of my list.
This is definitely what I am looking for. I can definitely share this with my husband and give him some ideas of what I want. I am not looking for anything big just to spend time with my family.
I am sitting here with a terrible back ache. I would love a full body massage for Mother’s Day.
Ohhh I will take number 7 please – a full body massage! Great list I will make sure my husband just HAPPENS to see it 🙂
These are all helpful for dad who don’t know what to give. Sometimes it is hard to figure out on your own!
I always get homemade cards from the kids, and I love them. My husband’s gift to me is taking over all the housework for a day, and it. is. AWESOME.
Lovely ideas 🙂 I’d love a date night where we can hang out and reconnect. Life gets so crazy, it is important to step back sometimes and have quality time together.
I would love a full body massage from my husband on Mother’s Day. These are wonderful ideas.
These are all great ides for Mother’s Day!! I think sometimes people get so caught up with the huge gestures that they forget how much a hand made card means.
Great ideas here, just a shame mothers day in the UK has already gone (its in March). Maybe next year 😉 Great write up
I told my husband that I love getting flowers so now he has went back to making sure I get some over every special holiday 🙂 These are some great ideas.
These are such a lovely ideas! I prefer to go out a dinner date with my family to celebrate Mother’s Day.
What a sweet ideas! Mother’s Day is coming. My mom would also love all of these ideas.
This is a great list for dads. My husband is taking me to the beach this year for my birthday/Mother’s Day.
I will have to forward this to my husband lol. I would love me a good massage for Mother’s day, it would be relaxing.
These are all such great ideas. I haven’t thought about the fact that some dads play the role model of mom and dad.
So many great ideas especially for the husbands who might not be so creative. My favorite from this list is just a lunch out with my husband. It is nice to indulge in an adult meal and some good conversation.
I love all of these ideas. We are going over to my mother in laws house for lunch. A massage sounds amazing and I am looking forward to mine tomorrow.
These are some great ideas! This post will come in handy for the men who need a little inspiration.
I love them all. Simple joys this mother’s day to clebrate all the moms out there!
It’s always nice to be recognized by the ones you love on Mother’s day. I’m not sure what our plans are, but I think as long as we are all together it will be a wonderful time.
All of these are such great ideas. I may try to do them all. Thanks for the hints.
This dad appreciates your suggestions. My wife hates it when I spend money on her — she prefers to buy stuff for herself — so I’m always looking for thoughtful gift ideas that don’t involve a trip to a department store. Nice post!
These are all such great ideas! Really anything on this list would make me happy.
