Do You Have Your Mother’s Day Planned Already?
Mothers are special therefore we should make them feel special. Mother’s Day is set aside to make moms feel appreciated. The smallest of gestures can go a long way in making a mom feel loved. For some, the best plan is as simple as quality time spent together.
In case your mom is not around, there is that special person who filled the gap. It can be an aunt, an elder sister, a teacher, a neighbor, or a dad who doubled up as both.
What are some of the fun activities you can do with your mom?
- Mommy’s Day out
You can always take your mommy out for the day. Taking a walk in the neighborhood, visiting places, and just spending quality time together can always go a long way for a mom. Some mothers however would prefer going out alone. You can step in for her at her place of work and allow her to take a break.
2. Meals with mom
Breakfast at Java, Lunch at Amaica Restaurant, and Dinner at Blixen would definitely make my Mother’s Day awesome. I don’t know about your Mom. If you are out of Nairobi, you can always scout for nice joints and explore them with your mommy. You don’t have to be there, asking for a pay bill when she is done, works as well.
3. Air trip with mom
My mom would definitely love it. Ask Come Travel Kenya to help you organize a flight for your mom. A Business Class on Emirates can go a long way.
4. Mother’s Day Coastal tour
The Kenyan Coast is always the ultimate holiday destination. Lamu, for an Epic back in time experience, Malindi for a laidback classy time, and Mombasa for a coastal city extreme fun. If your mom loves life and hype, go for Mombasa.
5. Mother’s Day Safari
Amboseli National Park will be my mom’s destination next year. Everyone loves safaris. You might want to shop for her clothing and shoes, to prepare her for the safari. Come Travel Kenya will get the bookings for you. Imagine a hot air balloon ride across the Maasai Mara. She will be blown away if she has not done that already.
6. Mother’s day Picnic
Prepare a basket and set up a picnic in a lovely place. If you are in Nairobi, Ngong Hills would be a perfect place. A picnic by the lake or on a beach is so epic. Let the breeze blow your mommy away
7. Show Mommy the city
Mothers don’t have time to walk the city and discover places. Taking time off to take her on a drive in a city might surprise her sweetly. Go for ice cream, check out a new joint, compare prices of things in malls, and show her around. Grab a beer later in the evening, if she is into beer. A cup of coffee at Art Café can crown the day for you.
8. Gift extravaganza
Packing small boxes of surprise gifts and dropping them all over your home can make the day for your mommy. Drop earrings in the kitchen sink, perfume in the bathroom, a pair of sunglasses in the garden, car accessories in the hallway, and so on. I hope my babies do this for me one day.
9. Mom’s Bucket List
My mom doesn’t have a bucket list but I can help her make one. If yours has one already, help her cross off the list, of the most adventurous and thrilling things. If zip lining is one of them, take her to a spot she will never forget.
10. Shopping
All mothers love shopping! Get her a voucher or take her to a place she can pick anything she loves. You will foot the cost. Be wise.
11. Mom’s day fun Day
You can always take her to a park and spend the whole day laughing, running around, playing games, swimming, and so on.
There are a number of things you can do with your mom on mothers’ day. If you are not sure what you want to do, Come Travel Kenya can plan a trip or tour for you.
