The second Sunday of May is not just any given Sunday. This day is special. It is the day dedicated to that one person, that one woman, without whom there would be no you, no me… It is the day dedicated to the mother. One who we all take for granted more often than not. But no sirree! Not Sunday, May 10, 2009. On this date, no mother should be taken for granted, go ignored or unpampered. A vow must be taken to leave no stone unturned in our quest for making our mothers’ feel on top of the world. And guess what!? ‘The how’ has been taken care of, right here, for you. Read on…
Breakfast in Bed
She has always woken up at the crack of dawn each morning to make sure your coffee is steaming, breakfast is on the table, and the lunch box packed. Ideally, you should be doing this for her every Sunday of the week but this Mothers’ Day, there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t bring your mother breakfast in bed. If you’re not too handy in the kitchen, keep it simple. Some buttered toast, scrambled egg, a glass of orange juice… Arrange it neatly on a tray with a flower alongside, for effect.
Spa Session
This one will earn you free passes for a lifetime! Book a salon or spa appointment for your mom for the works. Scalp massage, facial, manicure and pedicure, and perhaps even a hair wash and blow dry thrown in. Places like Myrah and Nalini in Mumbai are even offering special Mothers’ Day packages. She’ll come out feeling more relaxed, refreshed and even younger!
Shopping Spree
Mothers rarely end up spending on themselves, so for a change, it would be nice to walk into a store with her and have her pick whatever she likes. A silk scarf, some nice perfume or pearl earrings. I’ve never known women to refuse jewelery; A little nudge towards indulgence is just what your mom needs.
Brunch Lunch Munch
Now, your mom didn’t get all fussed over and trussed up for nothing, did she? Take her out! Do a lunch at some nice Bistro or an elaborate Sunday brunch like the one Blue Frog is hosting in Mumbai or Kyra in Bangalore.
Play Time
You know what your mom would really appreciate? If you did something she enjoys for a change. Check out the local event listings for a play or movie she’s been wanting to watch, or maybe even a music or dance recital that you think would interest her. Just the very thought of you putting her first, will surely endear you to her even more.
