For some great Mother’s Day celebration ideas, check out Melissa and Betsy’s tips after the jump.

Serving breakfast in bed? In addition to preparing her favorite eats, add fresh flowers to the tray along with a handwritten note detailing your favorite memory of having breakfast together.

Take an interest in hobbies or activities she enjoys and create a lasting memory of sharing in them together. Spend time in the garden and start a tradition by planting a new bloom each Mother’s Day. Exchange your favorite books and plan a date for the following month to discuss them over dinner at her favorite restaurant.

Make Mother’s Day an annual day of storytelling. Ask your mom to share stories of her mother and grandmother and record them on video or in a journal to pass along to your own children someday.

Get mom out of her comfort zone! The best gifts are often ones of experience. Surprise her with surfing lessons, a cooking class or even skydiving! Make a pact that every Mother’s Day you’re going to try something new and adventurous.

Continue the spirit of Mother’s Day all throughout the year! Motherhood is a 365 day a year job so don’t wait for merely one day each year to make her feel special. You can never tell your mom enough how much you love and appreciate her.
