Motherhood is a tough 24-hour job, no pay, no days-off, most often unappreciated and yet resigning is impossible.
This Mother’s day, I have decided to talk asked 100 Moms to ask them of what they wish to receive on this special day, to at least give back on all the hard work they have done for the family. And here are the Top 10 responses.
1. 30-minute shower: With 38.5°C temperature in the Philippines right now, wouldn’t you want to run in the shower and take a long, relaxing bathe? The scientists believe that when people feel isolated they take hot showers as a form of self-therapy, or self-soothing.
2. Love letter – In this world full of social media – where it is very convenient to greet your Mothers through posts, these Moms said they would still feel your love through the old school, heartfelt love letters.
3. Chocolates – Eating certain types of chocolate in small amounts can be good for you. The cocoa in chocolate contains antioxidants, which are considered “heart healthy”. Because chocolate is also high in calories and fat, it is only a good snack if you have it in small portions. They say you can say “I love you” best with a box of chocolate.
4. Flowers - Studies show that women who have flowers in their rooms are less anxious. The sweet fragrance of the flowers will change a mother’s mood and she will definitely feel better.
5. Shoes and dress – All women are “Imeldific” in nature. I personally love bags and dresses. This will be a perfect Mother’s day gift given you know your Mom’s size.
6. Going to the beach – Summer is on! Nothing beats a perfect relaxation for Mother’s day than a salt air which combats depression and mood disorder. According to research, the sound of the waves changes the wave patterns in our brain comforting us into a deeply relaxing state.
7. ME time (Spa, Massage, Salon) – If your Mom is vain or kikay, then a trip to the best salon or massage parlor will be a perfect gift for her. Have her hair colored, nails done and then end the day with a soothing massage.
8. Lunch/Dinner with family – Money should not be an issue in giving back Mom’s constant effort to make us feel loved. A home-cooked lunch or dinner will be highly appreciated by her. Google some fancy table set-up and surprise your Mom with an exceptional lunch/dinner date.
9. Gift Certificates they can use for Groceries – This is a best gift if your Mother is a practical one. A lot of department stores offer Gift Certificates to which she can use for various purchase.
10. Staycation with family - Not everyone can afford a vacation to a tropical paradise or an exciting destination. For many of us, staycation are what we can afford -- but it turns out they may be exactly what we need. Staycation is a great way to save money, enjoy your time off from work, and avoid the unavoidable stress that goes along with travel. There were a lot of booking applications available these days that offers affordable rates.
Mother has postponed many of her needs and desires in favor of the needs of her children. As a consequence of this sacrifice, she has inculcated sense of character and culture into her children. We can never compensate for the unconditional love and support of our mother, but all we can do is reciprocate our undying love by giving something as distinctive as she is.
