Need Mother’s Day gift ideas for the ultimate relaxation?

Relaxation can be elusive. The world moves fast and so we’re moving faster and faster just to keep up. This leaves little time to take a breath, sit down, and be still. But everyone needs quiet moments to recharge from time to time.

If your mum moves a mile a minute, give her the gift of true rest and relaxation this Mother’s Day. We’re here to help you plan a day full of blissful repose fit for a queen! From food and tranquil activities to some wonderful Mother’s Day gift ideas, Everything But Flowers is here for you.

Start the day with a healthy, delicious breakfast.

Breakfast in bed is strongly associated with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, but there’s a great reason for this: breakfast in bed is sheer bliss! You don’t have to make breakfast, you don’t have to leave the warmth of your bed, and you don’t have to clean-up. But breakfast in bed is best when you have a good, sturdy tray that’s perfectly-sized for holding all the important breakfast items: pancakes, bacon, juice, and coffee! That’s why our Breakfast in Bed Tray is one of our many great Mother’s Day gift ideas.

And if your mother prefers tea to coffee in the morning, Everything But Flowers has fantastic tea-based Mother’s Day gifts. Just browse our site!

Does your mother have a relaxing activity to enjoy?

For a delightful day of rest, your mother will need some relaxing activities to occupy her hands and her mind. Colouring books provide relaxing stimulation, offering the perfect amount of intellectual challenge and movement. So colouring books make wonderful Mother’s Day gift ideas. After your mum has eaten breakfast, she can then use the Breakfast in Bed Tray to do a bit of colouring.

Did you know that looking at pictures of cute animals is thought to release oxytocin? Oxytocin is the neurochemical associated with the bonding, as well as feeling warm and fuzzy. Everything But Flowers has many great photography books featuring adorable dogs and cats! A few of these books should give your mother a smile when she’s not colouring.

Have you made her home a relaxing oasis?

Now that you have the food and the activities covered, it’s time to create a relaxing atmosphere. A delicious smelling candle and a bouquet of flowers will please her senses on Mother’s Day. You could even use her new Breakfast in Bed Tray to create a lovely Mother’s Day display!Is your mum relaxed yet?

If not, we have one more tip. It can be difficult to relax when the house isn’t clean. So go ahead and help her clean her house, so she can sit down without worrying about a cluttered kitchen or dirty bathroom.
