Every year you plan Mother’s Day gadgets, high-tech gifts, flowers, jewelries and the like to pamper your mother. But, nothing compares to spending the entire day with your mom, doing things for her, helping her and taking her to places. Simply write her a note in your own words and convey her greatness and significance in your life instead of buying a limited edition perfume or a jewel studded bracelets. That way you can touch her warm heart and make much more treasured token of love. After all maternal affection can hardly be acknowledged with materialistic gifts – isn’t it? That’s why I have thrown off the idea of buying Mother’s Day gifts for her; I have planned for some good karma ideas to celebrate this Mother’s Day and I am here to share with my readers.
 Write a love letter
 When was the last time you wrote something for your mom? If you cannot possibly remember, then gear up for writing one love letter on this Mother’s Day. In this regard, if you make use of electronic media than scented or handmade paper, then you can pour all the creative ideas from your think tank. Make an amalgamation of poem or short rhyme on your mom, images, a multimedia clip (a song that you and your mom sang together earlier or a video clip if you two or family). Now, write a letter citing instances from your childhood memories, some events and some small incidents that your mom least expect you to remember. Then, place images where required and look relevant, attach your audio or video clip (if you are using any) and simply save as draft in your mailbox to send it when the clock struck 12 at midnight. If you have a blog, then place the letter on your blog which would enable you to embed video and images in the content area and mail the link to your mom’s mostly used inbox – and wait for her response.
Plan a day out with your mom
Forget your planner, or postpone meetings, deadlines and appointments and simply be a daughter to your mom. But, I would not suggest you to switch off your Smartphone as it would be of great help to plan your Mother’s Day out. Is it Italian, Greek, Mexican or Chinese that your mother’s mouth waters for? Now, search for restaurants that have coined some renown in or around your city on a restaurant review and book a table for you and your mom or others if you are taking along anyone else. You can check out our recommendations on restaurant apps or websites for planning a Mother’s Day meal from Mizwhiz.
Indulge her in shopping instead of buying on your own
Every year I buy and surprise my mom with a Mother’s Day gift which may catch her fancy or she may simply hide her dislikes behind her warm smile to save my disappointment. Hence, this year I have decided to take her for shopping, be with her, make her select things for her and curve a genuine happy smile on her face – buy her a gift that she would actually like. However, my mom is very careful about my expenditure especially when I am shopping for her. That’s why I am using coupon websites that offer printable coupons to be used in all major stores, offer freebies, get coupons for restaurants. Click here and check out my list of coupon websites at Mizwhiz – you mom would be happy shopping when you save more on shopping.
Other than these, I have some other unusual good karma Mother’s Day plans such as upgrading to a better and latest antivirus on my mom’s PC, download and surprise her with Mother’s Day apps on her Smartphone, create a photo recipe book (mother’s day photo crafts) for her by clubbing all the dishes that delight her and cooking dishes from that cookbook with her, make a cocktail for her (my list of cocktail apps would be my guide) and I am still thinking. Please share your Mother’s Day celebration ideas with me and help me in planning an unusual Mother’s Day surprise for my mom.
