10 Ways to Make this Mothers Day Special
Mothers Day is May 14th, less than a month away!
That is 27 days to be exact!
I've come up with a list of idea's for you to honor your loved one, whether it is your mom, grandma, your mother in law, your aunts, or the mother of your child(ren).
1. Start the Mother's Day weekend with her favorite cup of coffee.
This gesture will start the weekend off right with a cup of her favorite coffee, or tea. Include a special note on the cup that says I love you, or even a simple "thank you."
2. Take her on a date.
When do you ever get to have one on one time with your mom, grandma, aunt or your wife? This day is a perfect excuse to have a date together. Go to lunch or dinner, take her on an adventure. Do something just the two of you. Plan on something to do alone with her. It will be great.
3. Give her a gift from Maruskiya's or Bearing Song and Gift Shop
Get her some jewelry from local talent at Maruskiya's or a gift Bearing Song. She will be sure to love it. Shopping around at either of these stores you will find a great gift. If your lady is more of an adventure girl, get her some ammo, or better yet, a new gun from Nome Outfitters.
4. Flowers from Trihn's Floral
Giving your loved one flowers is always thoughtful. But to make it more meaningful, be sure to include a thoughtful letter with appreciation for all she does. Ignore the fact that the flowers will be gone within two weeks. When she smells the fragrance of those flowers in the future she will get to remember the way your letter made her feel when she gets to smell those flowers again. She will be reminded that she is loved.
5. Create Art
Have your children make a special piece of art for their mother or grandmother. Order some canvases and paint, fill their little hands with paint and have them create a hand print to preserve as a piece of art forever. Their little hands are only growing, and it will be so special for their mom to look back on how tiny they once were.
Here is a Pinterest board of Mother's Day art idea's for you to create with your kids for their mom, or even grandma!
6. Massage Gift Card
Get her a gift card from Bering Wellness Center for a massage. There is a study done that a 15 minute massage is more effective than a week getaway at relieving stress!
7. DLS Esthetics Gift card
Pamper your mama up with a gift card from DLS Esthetics. Dana provides facial consultations that involve teaching clients knowledge of skin care do's and don't. After the consultation, she will determine what kind of service meets clients specific needs. This includes facials, peels, microdermabrasion, and extractions. She also does eye lash extensions and waxing! She is surely a great person to make your loved one feel pampered!
8. Prepare her favorite meal
Breakfast in bed, or cook up her favorite meal that takes three hours. It will be a labor of love. Her heart will be full, and so will her stomach.
9. Dinner at her favorite restaurant.
If time is not of essence for your busy life, get a little dressed up, and take her out to eat at one of the resturaunts in town:
Milanos
Pingo's Bakery
Bering Sea Restaurant
Golden China Restaurant
Polar Café
Twin Dragon
Husky Restaurant
10. Heirloom Photos
Book a limited edition spring session with Blueberry Hill Photography for family photos that will last for generations. Photos to have to look back on when your kids have children of their own.
