Ways to Spend Time with Mum this Mother’s Day

Amelia Belcastro

We all know the one thing Mum truly wants is to spend time with youFrom sharing a couple of hours catching up to dedicating a whole weekend to her, we’ve pulled together a list of thoughtful things to do with your mum, no matter how much time you have to offer. 

Ideas for when you’ve only got a couple hours

Mum only needs a couple of hours to pick your brain and update you on the latest family drama. While she loves having you drop by for a coffee and a chat, she’d also appreciate just getting out of the house for a while. 

This paint and sip pot-plant class sets the perfect scene to cover the important life updates with a side of fun in a two-hour window. You’ll even take home a little something to remind you of the fun session. If she’s not the artsy type, there’s also cocktail making classes and high teas which will take the same time. 

Ideas for when you’ve only got half a day 

You, her and a good chunk of your day spent doing something together just like old times. It only takes half a day, but a cute pamper date will mean the world to her. It’s a sweet way to thank the mum in your life for everything she’s done, plus you’ll enjoy the downtime too. 

Start the day with a premium bathhouse experience for two. We’re talking two hours of pure relaxation as you drift between the mineral pool, sauna, steam room and other luxe amenities. Once you’re both blissed out, keep the indulgence going with a mani-pedi that’ll leave her feeling good inside and out. 

Ideas for when you’ve got a whole day 

A whole day that is all about Mum? She couldn’t think of anything better. Whether you’re reserving your day off work or dedicating half of your weekend to her, she’ll be over the moon to have your undivided attention for one full day. 

Go for brunch and fill her in on all things life before treating her to a day that is tailored to her. Finally book in that massage she’s been wanting for ages, or go watch that movie adaptation of the book you’ve both read. Then finish by making her a meal or take her out for a delicious dinner that neither of you have to cook or clean. 

 

When you’ve got a whole weekend

Spending an entire weekend by her side will make her year. The serious quality time she’s always wanted but didn’t know how to ask for. Plan a weekend away with Mum or keep it simple with an extended sleepover at hers doing whatever she pleases. 

If you inherited your appreciation for a good bottle from her, she’d love a weekend of loud laughs, quality wine and meaningful convos. Sample drops with a wine and cheese experience, then wander back to your home away from home for a night of movies and ‘remember-whens’. Not her scene? There are more getaways to fill her cup.
