What Moms Really Want For Mothers Day (A Rebroadcast)

Welcome back to another episode of The Motherhood Kit. With mothers day approaching, today we are bringing you a rebroadcast of our popular Mothers Day episode from last year. I’ll be sharing the answers I got from the moms in my audience when I polled them on social media about what they really want for Mothers Day, and I’ll be sharing some thoughts from my own children about what mothers day means to them.

So, if you’re currently thinking about what you’d like this Mothers Day, this episode is for you - and it might also be one to share with your loved ones too to drop some hints!

In this episode, Yamel discusses: 

●      Mothers Day is the highest selling holiday for flowers and plants and also the busiest day of the year for restaurants and, whilst moms appreciate these gestures, there are often other things that they’d want even more (and some may surprise you!)

●      From Yamel’s feedback, she deduced that what moms really want can be broken down into three themes:

-       The gift of time - this could look like a day where they get some precious alone time or a day when everything's been sorted in advance for them so they don’t have to manage everyone else’s needs.

-       Pampering - even if you don’t have a big budget, it can still be possible to make the mom in your life feel special and pampered. You could even involve the kids in creating some at-home treatments, or shop around for an offer that mom can enjoy at a later date. 

-       Well thought-out gifts -  rather than running out last minute to grab a card and a rushed present,  spend some time thinking about what the mom in your life would truly appreciate, to show her that you care.
