Well, choosing a gift for a mother has to be done very carefully, though mothers appreciate whatever we do for them. I thought of sharing my personal experiences of how I spent a Mother's day with my mother and I hope this will be some help to people who are wondering what to present her, apart from your love and affection which matters the most.
So, here I am, to share some tips with you on what you can do for your mother on mother's day which apparently falls today in some countries, and in Canada, we celebrate it sometime in the middle of May. The date changes every year.
Well, your parents are very special to you . You can buy anything in this world except for your parents and their love! So, 'Mother's day' and'Father's Day' are ideal occasions to show your love and concern for them.
I was lucky enough to have my mother two years back during the'Mother' Day'here . I remember wishing her a happy mother's day with a fond kiss on her cheeks. That was when she got up from the bed, in the morning on'Mother's Day'.
I wanted to make it a memorable day for her. She had come all the way from India to be with us in Canada for sometime.
With the bed coffee I had made for her, I took a bunch of artificial roses which I had bought earlier without her knowledge . She was indeed very pleased with my gesture. All mothers like flowers! In India, you can buy fresh flowers too!
Next, I prepared breakfast which my mother likes very much! It was rava uppuma. I made it with green peas, carrots etc, and I was happy to see my mother relishing it. You can prepare whatever your mother likes.Atleast do
it on that day, even if you don't do any cooking the whole year. Your mother will be surely moved!
Okay, after the breakfast, I planned to take my mother out. My husband had gone for work. So, no car in the house to take her anywhere. I arranged for a cab to take her out .
First I took my mother to the shopping mall . I showed her around and bought her some cardigan-like blouses at Walmart. She can wear them with saree in this cold climate.
Next, I wanted to give her a real surprise! This is an expensive surprise! Those who can afford can please their mothers this way. There is no mother in this world who does not like jewellery. My mother is no exception! So, I took her to a jewellery shop and bought her a sparking diamond ring. My mother was very happy with it!
We were roaming around for sometime in the mall and when it was time for lunch, I took her to a fast food restaurant . My mother likes chicken dishes. So, I placed order for Mary Brown's fried chicken along with french fries and soft drink. We both had our lunch there and returned
home by cab again.
It gave me tremendous relief and happiness to see my mother happy on'Mother's Day'. I did what all I could do to make her happy. I am sure, when my mother sees the rose bunch in her house and wears the diamond ring, will be for sure reminded of my love towards her all the time!
I have given an account of how I spent'Mother's Day' with my mother. Hope it will be of some use to you when you plan the day for your mother this year and coming years.
You can make her the most happiest person with your thoughtful presence and presents on this day. We are all here, because of our mothers and this is the day to show our appreciation for her and her motherly love. Hope you all agree with me!
