Personalise her workstation: Grab a chance to sneak into your mom's office early morning and personalise her desk with family pictures and post-it cards with intimate messages from her close friends. You can leave a thermos full of tea or coffee, which she can occasionally sip on while she works. However, do take prior permission from her boss before you embark on this good deed.
Do home decor: Your mom loves a well-kept home. She works all day and can't translate her décor ideas into practice herself. Revamp your home for your mother while she works! She’ll be pleasantly surprised to enter a home that is wonderfully done up. You can decorate the living room with flowers or create a 'memory wall' with pictures of your mom right from her childhood till date.
Do a DIY: Did your mom stitch your very first dress or knit your very first sweater? On Mother's Day why don't you surprise her with a little something which she can flaunt at her office! You can either stitch her a handbag or knit a scarf. You can also let your creative juices flow and gift her a tie-and-dye dupatta or a handmade paper appointment book.
Exchange roles: It's always been your mom who takes you out on weekends. This weekend, take your mom to a spa or a holiday resort. If she loves outdoor activities take her bungee jumping or paragliding or treat her to some retail therapy.
Send her a lunch box: No, I don't mean delivering a Dominos pizza at her office. Pack some home-cooked food and send it to her right before lunch time. Better still, take on the role of a dabbawalla and deliver the lunch yourself!
