Unique Ways to Honor Mother’s Day This Weekend
Mother’s Day is a time to express gratitude to your mom for all the ways she has shown her love and support.
No matter what you choose to do, your mom will appreciate the effort you put into spending time with her and making new memories together.
Brunch
Mother’s Day brunch is a cherished tradition and a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning with your mom. Many restaurants offer special menus or buffets in celebration of the occasion. It provides quality time with your mom without the hassle of washing dishes.
Canadian Tulip Festival
If you happen to be in the Ottawa area around May 12, consider taking your mom to the annual Tulip Festival. This event features over 300,000 flowers and is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The festival commemorates the relationship between the Netherlands and Canada following World War II, with the Netherlands gifting 10,000 tulip bulbs to Canada as a gesture of gratitude. Younger attendees can have fun at the kids’ Tulip Town.
Take an Art Class Together
Spending quality time with your mom is one of the best parts of Mother’s Day. This year, think about trying something unique and fun like a pottery or sculpting class. You will both leave with fond memories and a memento from your day together.
Treat Mom to a Show
Take your mom out for some entertainment and treat her to a play or symphony performance. Check out upcoming performances in your city and purchase tickets for you and your mom. It will surely make this Mother’s Day a memorable one.
Pick a Bouquet
Flowers are always a classic Mother’s Day gift, but you can make it even more special by taking your mom to pick her own flowers. Visit a tulip farm in Ontario or your local farmer’s market to find a vendor who can create a custom arrangement just for your mom.
Plan a Picnic
With warmer weather approaching in most of Canada, consider an outdoor adventure with your mom. Take your family to a scenic location in your city and bring along delicious dishes for everyone to enjoy. A Mother’s Day picnic offers good company, tasty food, and beautiful surroundings.
Spa Day
Spoil your mom with a day of pampering and relaxation at a local spa. Treat her to facials, massages, or a mud bath – whatever will help her unwind. Look for a Mother’s Day package at a nearby spa, or simply give your mom a gift certificate so she can choose her own treatments.
