We’re on a mission to make sure the Mammies of Ireland are spoilt absolutely rotten this weekend. Come rain or shine they’re always there for us. There’s nobody in our lives so deserving of some treats.
Here are seven things you should do for your Mam this Mother’s Day.
Go home for the weekend
Whether she’s in Galway, Gorey or Gweedore, make the trip home to see your Mam for the weekend. It might sound like the most simple thing in the world, but the fact that you’ve taken the time to travel will mean a lot. And if you can arrange it as a surprise visit, even better. This will make her weekend.
Pick up some of her favourite treats
You can’t arrive home empty-handed so make sure you’re armed with a couple of treats you know she’ll love. A gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a great big box of chocolates or her favourite bottle of wine are sure to do the trick and put a smile on her face. You can pick up the below bottle of Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc from Centra for €10.
Go for a long walk together
Whether you’re by the sea or near a park, pack into the car and head off for a nice long stroll together.
Breakfast in bed
If your Mam is another like ours, she rarely has a lie in. If you are home for the weekend, get up early, rustle up her favourite breakfast and present it to her in bed. You can pick up all of the below from Centra for a fiver.
Write her a heartfelt message
Even if you think Mother’s Day is completely cheesy, do put some thought into what you write in the card. Take the time to make your note personal and tell her how much she means to you. The flowers and box of choccies might be forgotten by Monday morning; it’s the sentimental things that your Mam will remember for the rest of the year.
Cook Sunday lunch
No Irish Mammy should spend his weekend in the kitchen so roll up your sleeves and make her a Sunday lunch to remember.
Book a spa session
Treat herself and yourself to an afternoon of pampering. If you can’t fit this in this weekend, get this in the diary for some point in the next couple of weeks so she’s got something luxurious to look forward to.
Whether you’re making her that breakfast in bed or that delicious Sunday lunch, Centra has all you need to spoil you Mammy. Check out the full range of offers here https://centra.ie/offers
