Mother’s Day Ideas From All Walks Of Life Mother’s Day is a celebration of women who devote so much of their effort & energy to their families. Celebrating Mom on Mother’s Day lets her know all of her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Mothers may perform similar tasks, but no two moms are the same. Finding ways to celebrate Mom’s uniqueness can make the day that much more meaningful & memorable. The Crafter - Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craft-themed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun afternoon & produce mementos that she will cherish for years to come. Dads & kids can plan the project in advance without her knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time & setting up the crafting station the night before or while she is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft & giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present. The Reader - A 2017 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women read more than men. Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother’s Day focused on Mom’s love of books an ideal & unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom or Grandma their own books, & Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores & look for original copies of Mom’s favorite books that she might not find elsewhere. The Nature Lover - Fishing & other outdoor activities might have a reputation as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that’s not really the case. A 2016 report from the Outdoor Foundation found that 46% of people who participated in outdoor activities were women. If Mom or Grandma is a nature enthusiast, families can plan a Mother’s Day enjoying the great outdoors, even giving her a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity. The Relaxation Specialist - Of course, some mothers & grandmothers may want to simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother’s Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consecutive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A relaxing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for her to begin Mother’s Day before she enjoys a brunch out with her family. Mother’s Day celebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated. Celebrate with Mom & Grandma on Sunday, May 12th.
