This Sunday is special for us mommies. It is after all, the one day of the year WE get a chance to get pampered. (For a change!) But the problem is, the people who have to be pampering us are clueless on what to get us. And trust me, the last minute flowers and chocolates are BORING. We LOVE good greeting cards, but that doesn’t mean a greeting card is enough! So here are 4 out of the box surprises you can gift your mom for this mother’s day.

1. A day at the spa.

Seriously. This is a gift that works not only for the girlfriends but also for the moms. Don’t worry about being able to afford it. There are quite a few Mother’s day discounts out there you can use. This coupon gives you 15% on a massage!

Pamper your mom a little more! 

2. Give her a little makeover

Guess who never had time to take care of herself since you were born? Your mom! I remember the phase where I didn’t have time to even go to the local parlor for what seems like years! Your mom always puts you before her and it is time to repay! Gift her a makeover. Make her feel younger. That feeling will stay at least for weeks unlike flowers. If you can’t afford a full makeover, just take her for a haircut. You have no idea how confident it leaves women feeling! Here’s a 30% discount coupon you can use for this

If you can’t afford an entire makeover, try gifting her a haircut!

3. Propose to your mom!

No! You did not read that wrong. This works especially if you have already decided to gift your mom jewelry. Just ask yourself. Why do you love your mom. Write a speech. On mother’s day, go down on a knee, tell your mom how much you love her and ask her to be your mom forever and more! She will be blown away, in tears and will remember this for the rest of her life. (Tried and tested by me and a few friends. Trust me, this works, in a weird way!) If you are yet to buy jewelry, lucky you! We just found this 50% off coupon for you!

Propose. to your mom!

4. Take her out for coffee or tea!

You know what your mom most wants from you? Some time. So give her just that. Take her out on a long tea date and talk to her. She will appreciate this more than gifts! Teavana has a special Mother’s day offer running! Utilize it!

Take her out for coffee or tea!

You can do a lot more. Plan a surprise mother’s day party with Cake and stuff (which is what my sisters and I are planning for this year), or send her away on a holiday with friends or maybe just a free swing at the Casino or get her home cleaned for her. The options are limitless. If you want some ideas though, visit this page: Special coupons for Mother’s day. And once you decide, do let me know what you are planning. Would be interesting to see new ideas!
