In this BIT: Your guide to the best Mother’s Day plan! Explore what to do for mom and what to do on Mother’s Day.
A day to celebrate the woman who does it all – Mother’s Day is coming up! A meaningful plan for the day is a special way to show your mom you love her. Yet, we often circle back to the same ideas: breakfast in bed, a bouquet of flowers, brunch, dinner, or perhaps a springtime walk. We’ve compiled a list of unique, memorable, and fun things to do on Mother’s Day. Overall, let’s give your mom a day she will always cherish and remember!
1. A memorable meal: Rather than taking your mom out for brunch or dinner, work together as a family to surprise her with a meal from a memorable moment. Perhaps it was her go-to dinner during a vacation, her favourite childhood dessert, or another dish that means something to her.
2. Nature adventure: Depending on your mom’s preference, book a nature adventure of varying intensity! Whether it’s a day of paddling on a nearby river, or stargazing 30 minutes out of the city.
3. Give back: Working together for an important cause brings us closer together! Volunteer at an animal shelter, food bank, or attend a Mother’s Day run in support of a fundraiser. Consider what is important to your mom and choose accordingly!
4. Get crafting: Book your family into pottery, painting, candle-making, or another crafting class. This is a prime area for memory-making with a built-in souvenir that you’ll all treasure for years to come.
5. Cook it up: Sign up for a group cooking class! Choose your mom’s favourite cuisine, or shake things up by selecting an exotic cuisine you have little experience with – perhaps Thai or Japanese. You’ll have fun, make delicious food, and gain some new cooking skills.
6. A day to relax: Similar to the idea of a crafting class, find a local cake-decorating or flower-arranging class. These tutorials are engaging and fun, but also give your entire family a moment to bond, catch up, and unwind.
7. Live show: Surprise your mom with a live jazz or other musical concert at a local and intimate venue. Pair this with dinner before and you’ve got a delightful night to remember!
8. Escape room: Select an Escape Room theme that your mom would enjoy, and put your family’s problem solving skills to the test. These activities get you thinking and collaborating!
9. Hike: Whether it’s a walk through your neighbourhood, a local park, or a trail 30 minutes away from home, a hike is a beautiful (and free) way to enjoy all that spring has to offer.
10. Local farm: Visit a local farm together! See the baby animals, take a tractor or hayride, and enjoy a beautiful picnic.
We hope that these Mother’s Day activities and things to do on Mother’s Day bring you and your family a Small Bit of Happiness!
