Mother's Day in Russia is celebrated on November 30 this year. Mom always remains the main person for us, but with age it becomes more and more difficult to surprise her with a gift. The author of the Zen channel “Where are my children” (12+) told how to choose a surprise that will really please, even if you are already an adult and don’t know what she needs for a long time.
It is not necessary to give flowers and sweets. Here are five simple ideas that work better.
- Instead of pots and kettles, it is better to choose a warm blanket, a soft scarf or a multi-baker on which mom can bake pancakes or waffles. If she loves the garden, a good gardening tool or comfortable gloves will come in handy.
- Give her a certificate for a massage or yoga if she likes to relax. If active, then a fitness bracelet, mat or massage pillow.
- Take her for a walk around the city, a trip to the museum. If she has a hobby, buy an online course on knitting, drawing or even cooking.
- A beautiful book with recipes, unusual cookie cutters or a set of jars for storing spices.
- Just spend time together. Cook dinner, look at old photos, go to the park. Often what is more important to mom is not the thing, but the fact that you are nearby and devote time to her.
You can also do something with your own hands. Sew an oven mitt, frame a photo, make soap, or draw a card. All this will become a warm gift, because you are in it.
November 30 is coming soon, but even in a couple of days you can choose or do something that will make your mother smile. After all, what she values most is not gifts, but the fact that you remember her.
