Best Mother’s Day Date Ideas!

Mother’s day is something very special for all the moms out there, and in Malaysia this particular day is often celebrated very lavishly by many people. In Malaysia, even the advertising when it is about to come close to mother’s day is very exciting and something to look forward to. There are so many things that you can do for your mom, but some of us often tend to hit a dead end when it comes to ideas for mother’s day. And for that reason, in this article, we will be taking a look at some of the best mother’s day date ideas for all the sons and daughters out there!

GO TO A SPA TOGETHER.
Hook your mom up with a spa day, and simply join her for hours of relaxation. Most spas will allow you to use the entire facility all day when you tend to book as little as one service, but why stop at just one? Get a mani-pedi, hit the steam room, get a facial and even a massage, enjoy a delicious lunch, and then relax by the pool. Before you leave, you can even get your hair and makeup done, too!

HAVE A PROPER PICNIC IN THE PARK.
When was the last time you had a proper and real picnic in the park? We are not talking chowing down on fast food while perched on a bench, but instead an actual meal out of a picnic basket while laying and sitting on a plaid blanket in the grass. Grab that basket and bring your mom to the closest greenway. People-watch and enjoy the sunshine while you can nibble on cheese, fruit salad, and even cold chicken. If there is a little sparkling wine in that thermos, that is just between you, her and the birds.

TAKE A COOKING CLASS.
Try to explore new culinary worlds by taking a cooking class together. Many high-end kitchen stores tend to offer technique classes, sometimes even with celebrity chefs, and local chefs sometimes teach as a side gig as well. Not able to find one that rings your bell? You can even commit to trying one new recipe together each month!

FLY TO ANOTHER CITY FOR THE WEEKEND.
They say you never really know someone until you have traveled with them. You may think you and your mom know almost everything there is to know about each other, but travel mom is most probably a very different person than Sunday dinner mom or even the busy business woman mom. You may even get to see a side of her that only her best girlfriends see! This can also be especially fun if both you and your mom tend to live in different train areas and just go visit somewhere new together. Keep an eye out for super low fare deals and specials, either to visit a special city or to choose a destination which is based on a low ticket price. When planning a trip, make sure to also check out airlines that most travel sites do not include.

PLAY SIGHTSEEING TOURIST IN YOUR OWN HOMETOWN.
Sometimes, we tend to get so complacent about the city we live in that we never really see it properly through the eyes of a visitor. Try thinking about it as where you would take a friend from out of town if they were swinging through for the weekend. Some ideas are hiking around your closest natural wonder or check out that museum your town is known for. Top it off with some dinner at your town’s most famous restaurant and also dessert at the best bakery, then simply take a long way home and admire the city skyline or maybe even the starry night.

VISIT A MUSEUM.
If you are anywhere near a major metropolitan area, you are likely within driving distance of a science, art or history museum which has some notable works and exhibitions to match any interest. If your mom’s tastes run more toward the quirky than the classical, you can also try finding that odd museum every state has.

TAKE HER TO LUNCH, THEN SET UP A STANDING MONTHLY LUNCH DATE FOR JUST THE TWO OF YOU.
We can be real here, all your mom really wants is to spend more time with you. Just take her out to lunch will make her day, but setting up a standing lunch date at least once a month will more certainly win you the favorite child status.

VOLUNTEER TOGETHER.
Choose a cause which is close to both your hearts, whether it is animal welfare, childhood literacy, building with habitat for humanity or maybe even serving food in a soup kitchen. Spending the day, side by side, helping others together and simply giving back to your community, it will feel great, and you will grow even closer in the process.

Thank you.
