SHOW MOM HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE HER THIS MOTHER’S DAY Writer / Abigail Hake Photography Provided
Mother’s Day will soon be upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about how to make your mom feel special on her day. Most moms in our lives deserve an award for all the amazing things they do, from cooking dinners to catching tears and giving the best hugs - but if you don’t have the time or money to erect a statue or create an award just for her, we’ve got your back with these easy and unique ways to show your appreciation.
BOUQUETS Ok, we know a floral bouquet is not so unique, but if you take this basic idea and run with it, there are many possibilities. Find something she loves or something that makes her smile, and pull it together in bouquet form. Maybe it’s cookies, balloons or even candy. Try something a little outside of the box by creating a vintage brooch bouquet and placing it in a handmade vase that she can look at all the time (both available on Etsy.com). Some of these ideas you can find at retailers around town, and others you 22 / MAY 2020
might have to create on your own. Either way, any unique take on a normal bouquet is sure to bring an ear-to-ear grin.
HANDWRITTEN LETTERS When was the last time you wrote your mom a handwritten letter? Maybe second grade? Well, the time has come to consider doing this again. Not only will she love hearing about all the things that are important to you that involve her, but this is also a surefire way to get an almost endless hug from her.
