We believe that flowers are a must for Mother's Day! However, you'll definitely hit the mark with a personalized gift. We all know: we'll make Mom the happiest with something hand-crafted. With flowers for Mother's Day, you're definitely on the right track. But if you give the classic Mother's Day gift a personal touch, the wow-effect for Mom is in the bag. How? Make your own bouquet! In our how-to guide for tying flowers, we give you a step-by-step explanation of how to tie your own bouquet. Have fun!
Something other than flowers? Here are some alternatives:
Something hand-made: When you make something yourself, it means that you put love into it, which will make your mom very happy. Make her a greeting card, paint a white cup with porcelain markers, or dry flowers yourself and drape them in a picture frame. Are you looking for a special text for your handmade greeting card?

Massage voucher: Your mother deserves to fully relax. A massage is pure relaxation, which we unfortunately treat ourselves to far too rarely. Give your mmm her well-deserved me-time in the form of a massage voucher.
Parfum: Give your mom her favourite fragrance or surprise her with something new. Maybe the perfume you choose will become her new favourite?
Photos: Choose the best photo of the two of you and have it framed. Or maybe even print out a series of photos and put them into a self-made (digital) photo album?
Eat out: Take your mom out to dinner! A night out with delicious food and good wine will definitely make your mom happy. Treat her to a night out to show her how much she means to you.

Breakfast: The undeniable classic: prepare breakfast for Mom. Freshly squeezed orange juice, warm buns from the oven, and fresh coffee. An extravagant luxury breakfast for Mum is the perfect way to kick off the day!
Spa Day: A day of relaxation please! Take some time off in a sauna or spa. Book your mum a massage for the ultimate relaxation. Of course, you can also hold the spa day at home! A face mask, manicure, bubble bath, and exfoliation are just as relaxing in the comfort of your own home.
Stroll: With a little bit of luck, the weather on Mother's Day will be so nice that a walk through the city or in nature will be a real pleasure. Think of a place where your mum likes to be and take her out for a walk.
