Many of us think that love at first sight is not real. This is not true! When we are born and our eyes can take in our surroundings, we usually see our mother first. Her expressions of pure joy, tears of happiness, and warm embrace are our first experiences of love.
Mother’s Day is around the corner and most of us have plans to buy her gifts. While this is a brilliant idea, let's remember to give her a break from her mundane tasks and make her feel special on this day. We at GIVA love our mums too. Here are some ideas to ensure she gets all the love she deserves especially on this day.
Plan out the day for her
Morning
Gifts do mark the occasion, but what if your mom still has to clean and tidy up the house like any other day? To make this day truly special, start by cleaning the house either the previous day or before she wakes up. If you want to go over the top and make her roll her eyes, lay rose petals from her bedroom all the way to the dining table. There she can find a neatly wrapped gift of this stunning necklace set and her favourite breakfast to enjoy.
Afternoon
Remember how patiently your mum would feed you food while you were this notorious kid running around the house? She chased you patiently, attempting to make you eat that one last morsel. Do you know? She only ate after you finished your meal.
On Mother's Day, you can make your mother feel special by downloading the recipe for her favourite dish and cooking it. If you find the prospect of your cooking daunting, don't give up! Order her favourite meal and a dessert. Serve her her favourite meal and wonderful memories she will cherish for life.
Evening
You know what your mother likes. So plan her evening accordingly. If she prefers to stay home, rustle up some tea and snacks in the evening. You can also take her to a spa for a soothing and relaxing massage. You could both relax at the spa together or invite one of her besties and treat them to a fun time!

Night
Your mum has always been an inspiration and you may have emulated her in many ways. You can show her how much of a positive example she is to you by wearing matching jewellery.
Take both your parents to a nice restaurant for a candlelight dinner and allow them some time alone together. Alternatively, you can have a girls’ night out together. Listen to the regaling stories of her youth and encourage her to tell you her secrets. She’ll love being able to talk to you.
Wrap the day with her favourite books or chocolates by her bedside. Give her a long, tight hug and seal the day with a loving kiss.
Never miss the chance to let your mother know how much you love and appreciate what she has and continues to do for you. You don't need to go overboard with grand gestures – a simple, heartfelt "I Love You, Maa!" will always make her day.
