Mother’s Day is almost here and there is something that cannot scape to this special day: FLOWERS!
Plants are a MUST in this day, but still we always want to be a little more original and try to surprise our mothers with something unique.
Well, this year you won’t need to be thinking about it a lot. Today in Matabi’s BLOG we are going to give you many ideas to surprise your mother in this beautiful day.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE ELDEST
We get older, we have our own income and we stop being original. Do not get carried away by the easy path and do not fall into the trap of buying the typical perfume that you’re seeing over and over on the telly.
Give her a day off and take her of her gardening tasks
If you live nearby, give Mom a "gift card" for yard services. We are in spring and at this time the garden requires a lot of care. May in particular is a month when weeds proliferate. These can compete with the flowers or plants around, so in MATABI we recommend you to go well equipped to your mother's garden with any of our weed killers such as the Weedstick, the Weeder or the new Desherbage 7 that we will talk about more in depth in next week's post.
And don't forget, this month we are entering is officially known in the orchard world as the month of plagues! Get ahead of it and choose the sprayer that best suits your needs.
Take her on a picnic
Why not? Take her out on a picnic. A promenade to the park for which you will only need a large blanket, some sandwiches, water and of course, a homemade carrot cake made by yourself with your mummys recipe.
Your mother will love this and it is a great time for you both to catch up. There is nothing like a day in the country for an interesting conversation.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE YOUNGEST
This special day tends to make the little ones in the house very excited. Fathers and older siblings play an important role here. Since they are the ones who should facilitate and put ideas on the table, then the imagination must be let to the little ones.
DIY cards
Handmade cards is a tradition that cannot be missed. For this specific day, you will surely find thousands of cards at the kiosk or at the supermarket, but in the end a handmade personal card will melt your mother heart and plus it will cost nothing.
Here’s some ideas:
DIY flower pots
As we mentioned, flowers cannot be absent on this very representative day and what better way than to place them in a beautiful pot made by the smallest of the house. With a milk carton or a shoe box you can make an awesome flower pot. Now you just have to give your son / daughter some brushes, bright colors and let their imagination fly.
Small plants like cactus are great for this type of handmade flower pots.
GIFT IDEAS FOR THOSE WHO WON’T BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR MOTHER
Unfortunately, we are still in a pandemic situation and many will have to celebrate it from a distance. But hey! Even from a distance we can get closer to our mothers thanks to the digital platforms that have evolved so much in the past year.
Virtual visit to Madrids beautiful botanic gardens
With this super original idea you will definitely surprise your mother. Have you ever been to the botanical gardens of Madrid? If you ever go to Madrid this visit is a MUST DO. But hey, you can still visit it from your home in New York, how is this? With all this pandemic we have all jumped on the digital bandwagon and the Madrid Botanical Garden was not going to be less. Make an appointment and visit the Botanical Garden of Madrid with your mother.
Flowers and Virtual Brunch
Flowers cannot be missing in the distance either. And with the flowers, a card with a QR code in which you directly invite your mam to a ZOOM, Meets, Teams, Skype or whatever platform you have become familiar with in the last year.
If you want your mother to enjoy your company with a delicious brunch you must involve your father for this part.
So, as you see with MATABI you won’t run out of ideas. And if you have any other suggestions to make, please leave a comment!
