Mother's Day is the best time of year to honor your mom. But what do you get the woman who gave you everything? How can you show her how much she means to you? If you're wondering what to do for Mother's Day, here’s some of our favorite ideas.  
 
Cool Gifts for Mom 
The first thing you need for a successful Mother's Day are a couple of cool gifts for Mom. Every mom has different tastes, so yours may not like everything on our list but there will be something here that she'll enjoy.  
  • Family portrait including all of her children and grandchildren, if she has them 
  • Cool cooking gadgets she'd never buy for herself  
  • Personalized jewelry 
  • A recurring subscription box for something she enjoys
  • Cozy pajamas and slippers
  • Weighted blanket 
  • Weekend getaway  
  • Plant for her home or garden 
  • Spa day or massage  
Cook Your Favorite Brunch Recipes and Have a Picnic 
After a nice gift the key to Mom's heart is usually a meal she didn't have to prepare herself. Skip the usual dinner and try cooking some of your favorite brunch recipes for the most important woman in your life instead. Find brunch recipes and ideas on websites like Pinterest, and surprise your mom with a picnic at a beautiful park or garden.  
 
Watch a Mom-Friendly Movie  
If you're not much of a chef, gather Mom and any other family members who want to join for a Mother's Day movie marathon. Don't forget the popcorn and snacks. Some of our favorite choices are:  
  • The Joy Luck Club 
  • Thelma and Louise
  • Mamma Mia! 
  • Because I Said So
  • Steel Magnolias 
  • Baby Boom
  • The Kids Are All Right  
  • Terms of Endearment  
Put Together a Photo Album
If your mom is hard to please and you're still wondering what to do for Mother's Day, consider a photo album. We take and store so many pictures digitally these days, so comb through your phone and look for those special family photos your mom would love to have printed and put into a photo album just for her.  
 
Take a Class Together 
Have you and your mom always talked about learning French? Maybe you both want to learn to bake, paint, or play the piano. Whatever it is, consider signing up both of you for a class together, whether it's virtual or something you can do together in person. Not only is it one of the most unique gifts for Mom, but it's a fun way to bond.
