Spending quality time with your mother is a great way to show your appreciation for everything she has done for you. Not only that, it gives you the chance to get to know her better while trying new and exciting things. No matter what you typically enjoy doing with your mum, you can mix things up with some exciting activities. Here are some of our recommendations for treating your mum to something extra special this year.
Pottery class
If your mum loves the movie Ghost, then it’s time to take her to a pottery session. Get your Demi Moore on and dance the night away at a pottery class in your local area. A pottery class is an excellent way to get your creative juices flowing, and you and your mum can learn a new skill that you can turn to again in the future. You also get something to take home as a keepsake, making it an awesome activity to try for more reasons than one this year.
Theatre trip
With theatres back open again, the time is right to book tickets to see your mum’s favourite show at a classy West End venue. Whether you’re fans of Mamma Mia! Or have a penchant for Back to the Future; there are so many awesome shows playing in London right now for you to enjoy. Why not make a weekend of it? Travel down to London the day before and enjoy cocktails and a meal out before taking a big-red-bus tour around the city before your theatre show. All in all, a well-planned theatre trip is a wonderful way to create lasting memories with your mum.
Wine tasting night
Transport your mum to the vineyards surrounding Cape Town by hosting an extra-special wine tasting night. You can focus on a specific grape or region if you want to make it a little more sophisticated, or you can head to the local supermarket and see which wines are on offer! Either way, prepare a spread, settle on your wines, and invite your mum over for a night of putting the world to rights over a few glasses of something tasty.
Yoga class
Just because you’re socialising with your mum, it doesn’t mean you can’t exercise at the same time. Heading to a local yoga class – or practising yoga yourselves – is a great way to work out together and bring your mind back into focus. It’s also a great way to work on your spiritual side, and you can bond over your appreciation of the finer things in life. Make sure you have the right activewear before booking a yoga class, so you can feel comfortable and at ease throughout the session.
Pampering day
Last but not least, why not reward your mum with the ultimate day of pampering at a countryside retreat? Book yourselves in for a massage and treatment, and relax at a spa as you catch up on all the latest family gossip. If you’re free during the week, you can often find great deals online that provide you with an exceptional pampering experience without breaking the bank.
No matter what you get up to with your mum, make sure you’re dressed for the occasion. Treat yourself to a stunning new dress to ensure you feel your best when you take your mum out for the day.
