All mothers have one thing in common their thankless job as a mother. To tell you the truth it’s the most difficult job on the planet so far and the most satisfying too. We are always dwarfed by our mom’s effortless ways to make our lives easy, but how can we make her day priceless? The other thing common amongst mothers is lack of health, I mean sure they are extremists when it comes to our health but they don’t pay that much of a heed to their own health. So there! its their health that you need to gift them to make it a priceless Mother’s Day. Trust me its something you ought to do for your mom anyway but give it a little more zing to it by these 3 ways and notice the happiness on her face instantly.
1. Healthy home cooked breakfast – There no better way to start any day than to have a nourishing breakfast. To top it all making a healthy breakfast for your mom and having it with her on Mother’s Day… isn’t that just sweet? Here’s what is the express way to cook a healthy breakfast :
Mom’s Day breakfast – Begin with 1 cup herbal green tea with sugar substitute (sucralose derivative only). 1 glass of fresh grapefruit juice / cranberry juice / orange juice (no added sugar) and Egg white and bell peppers and spring onion and herbs frittata with 1 tsp of olive oil and 2 slices of toasted whole wheat bread or rye bread and ½ oz feta cheese. Finish it with 2 whole fresh figs or peaches.
2. Wellness treatments – Gift your mother a few hours at a near by spa or wellness clinic where she could get herself a full body massage, a face and neck treatment for rejuvenation and skin tone, hair moisturizing and shampoo treatment, manicure and pedicure. Most importantly it should have a comprehensive body analysis other than blood test to avoid fasting period. These could be fitness assessment, heart check up, skin analysis etc. Include a yearly membership to a fitness centre where she can spend sometime of her day engaged in her health.
3. Shopping for future – Go shopping with your Mom to gift her a supply of health foods like fresh produce, low fat, sugar free and low sodium food items, year round gift certificate for health food restaurants in her neighborhood, coupons for buying health food from the mall or store, do not forget to add to your shopping cart with a health insurance policy just for her. Basically anything that takes her mind away from everything other than herself. Shopping is just another excuse for spending quality time with her and results into release of endorphins from the brain giving the both of you a feeling of happiness and fulfillment.
All of the above ways are not expensive things to afford given the cash crunch days that we all are facing. However no amount of money is enough to buy your mom the happiness she deserves, and she deserves only the best from you. Giving these gifts is actually a supplementary thing; what you will be giving her is a day with you and no gift is comparable to that, considering she has given her life to you.
Wish you wellness,

I fully agree that we take moms for granted and that there can be no more heart warming way to say thank you than to show some consideration and love in the way you suggest. Its worth more than any roses and expensive gifts that you can buy.
