How to Spend Time Together on Mother's Day? 5 Creative Suggestions

The best Mother's Day gift? Time spent with your children! Get inspired by our ideas and spend this day exactly as you dream.

1. Home SPA in pajamas – relaxation for everyone

Create a true home spa experience where everyone will find something for themselves – mom and kids alike. A shared facial, hand massage, and foot soak in a bowl of warm water and sea salt – does that sound like a dream evening? Add hot chocolate, fluffy bathrobes, and soothing music in the background.

What treatments can you prepare in the comfort of your home?

• Homemade sugar and olive oil scrub
• Braiding hair together or playing hairdresser
• Banana and yogurt masks (delicious and nourishing!)

What accessories are worth having on hand?

• Bowls, towels, soft hair bands
• Favorite creams and balms
• Glitter nail polishes
• Relaxing playlist

2. Joint trip: #matchymatchy and let's go!

If the weather's nice, go for a walk together, a short bike ride, or a picnic in a nearby park. But not just like that! #MeAndMiniMe outfits will highlight your bond and look great in photos you'll look back on for years to come. These family t-shirts send a clear message: we're on the same team.

What can you do as a duo?

• Go on a bike ride (it can be your favorite route or one you'll discover together).
• Go for an outdoor brunch – homemade pancakes + a thermos of tea
• Organize a shopping trip, dinner, or dessert – pizza at your favorite restaurant, ice cream that you go for on special occasions – the decision is yours!

What is worth taking:

• blanket, picnic mat,
• snacks (these can be homemade muffins, fruit, juice in a thermos),
• a camera to document shared moments (go old-school and choose an older model – leave your phones at home! ),
• a bubble set or a frisbee.

For the more active? A forest adventure with Nordic walking poles and handmade medals, such as "SuperMom 2025."

3. Creative DIY workshops

You don't need a big budget to create a gift that will be remembered for a long time . All you need is an idea, scissors, colored paper, and a little love. It's worth involving children in creating something unique – it's truly great fun!

Creative gift ideas:

• Downloadable coloring pages from Endo will inspire you to create fun activities for your child's day. You can also give the finished pictures to mom right away!
• Vouchers for many occasions – handmade coupons, e.g. for breakfast in bed, 15 minutes of silence, a walk together.
• Portrait of mother – drawn, glued, made of plasticine or stamps.
• Handmade shopping bag – with your own print (e.g. made with paints and potato stamps!)

4. Balcony (or Living Room) Adventure

You don't have to leave the city to feel the spirit of adventure . Transform your balcony or living room into a cozy spot for an evening feast, reading a book, watching a movie, or playing board games.

Ideas for home entertainment may include:

• a movie screening with popcorn and an admission ticket made by children,
• karaoke with mom as the star of the evening,
• an evening with books – reading your favorite stories together (or making up fairy tales together – use coloring pages that you download and color in beforehand),
• family quiz – e.g. “How well do you know your mom?”

A must-have for the evening? Comfortable pillows and a fluffy blanket, a playlist of Mom's favorite music, warm tea, and definitely something sweet!

5. Reliving memories together

At the end of the day, sit down with your photo album (or a folder on your phone) and reminisce. Review photos, add to the album together, or maybe even create a family tree of Mom's childhood ? This journey back in time is a great way to show your children that Mom was once a child too.

You can also create a new family chronicle together, i.e. a notebook in which you will now write down important memories, funny sayings of children or favorite shared recipes.

Mother's Day - celebrate family moments exactly how you want

This day doesn't have to be perfect! Don't worry about mess, falling off your bike, lopsided cards, or someone getting things wrong. Because time spent together is the most beautiful gift you can give each other.
