Mother, mom, maa, ammi, aai! The only woman in our lives who makes our everyday better than yesterday. She is the one who prays for you and cheers you up the most when the days are low-key for you! From taking her for granted in the early ages of life to understanding how beautiful life is with her. We have come a long way with our moms.
On 11th May, we celebrated Mother’s Day, a day dedicated to the most versatile women in our lives. We don’t need a day to celebrate her because every day is all about her and for her. The women who wake up before everyone and go to bed after putting everyone to sleep deserve appreciation and a token of love, and when it’s Sunday today, then why not?
Looking for an idea or ray of hope to make this ordinary Sunday special. Then here are the Top 10 ways of celebrating Mother’s Day!
Top 10 ways of making your mothers feel special on the eve of Mother’s Day!
1. Start the day with silence,let her sleep in
She’s woken up for you, for the family, for the world for years.Today, give her the morning s he’s never had: one without an alarm, demands, or clattering utensils.Let her wake slowly, peacefully, to the sound of nothing but calm. It may seem like a small thing. But rest? It’s the rarest luxury for moms. And it costs nothing to give.
2. Begin with a cup of tea and a gentle smile
You don’t need breakfast in bed with flowers and pancakes (unless that’s your vibe).
Sometimes, just a warm cup of chai or coffee, brought with a smile, a “Happy Mother’s Day” whisper, and maybe a light forehead kiss — is enough to melt her heart.
Simple. Familiar. Thoughtful.
3. Take the load off completely
On this one day, make sure she doesn’t touch a single household chore. Don’t let her “supervise.” Don’t let her say, “I’ll just quickly do it.” Tell her: “Today, you rest. I’ll handle the mess.”
And mean it. You don’t need to be perfect — just being there with her is important
4. Spend the time watching a movie she loves
Forget Netflix scrolling wars. Ask her what she wants to watch. Maybe it’s an old Hindi film. Maybe a feel-good family drama. Maybe something that reminds her of her youth.
Watch it with her. Laugh with her. Relive it with her. It’s not about the movie — it’s about spending time with her
5. Make her feel pampered, even at home
Create a 20-minute “spa break” for her. A foot soak in warm water with salt. A gentle oil champi. A face pack. Soft music. Dim lights. Even a short moment of calm, set up by you, can feel like an act of pure love. Let her know: You deserve this kind of care too.
6. Click a picture. Frame the moment.
Today, take a photo together — not a forced, filtered selfie. A real moment. A hug. A laugh. Something that captures your equation. Later, print it. Frame it. Slide a note behind it. Years from now, it’ll be more than a picture. It’ll be a memory.
7. Bring her something sweet — and make it a ritual
Does she love a specific mithai, dessert, or bakery treat? Surprise her with it. Light a candle. Sing a song. Clap for her. Celebrate her, the way she quietly celebrates everyone else. Even if it’s a store-bought barfi — serve it with love and a bit of drama. Moms secretly love drama when it’s about them.
8. Gift her a slice of herself
Gift her something that reflects her, not just her “mom” side. Maybe a novel she mentioned long ago. A journal. A saree she’s been eyeing. Or something she used to love music, sketching, gardening — and lost along the way. Help her reconnect with who she is outside the labels.
9. Do something she likes — without a timer
No rushing. No multitasking. Just presence. Whether it’s sitting in the balcony talking, walking to the market with her, or simply listening to her old stories — today, slow down. Let her set the pace. Give her your time — not the leftovers of it.
10. Share the token of words you don’t say often enough
Before the day ends, sit beside her and say what you rarely do. “Thank you for everything.” “I see you. I love you. I’m proud to be yours.” You don’t need a speech. Just speak your truth — raw, real, and full of love. It’ll stay with her far longer than flowers ever will.
So this Sunday don’t just exggaerate your love towards her! Instead make her day memorable by simply doing nothing, but just being with her.
