Co-op wants to know how you would make your mother’s day? - £300 voucher to be won NOW CLOSED

[PoppyMumsnet]

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Co-op wants to find out what would make your mother’s day this coming Sunday. Maybe she’s a Mum with simple tastes, and a card or bunch of flowers will suffice to make her really happy? Or perhaps you’re going all out this year, inviting her around for a meal and a day spent with the family. If you’re taking a more creative approach, perhaps you’ll be making her gifts by yourself, or just planning a day together for some one-on-one time with you - maybe brunch and the cinema? As a mum, tell us what would make your day extra special?

Here’s what Co-op has to say: “This Mother’s Day we want everyone to think about their mum and how to make it really personal and special to her. To not only buy the usual expected mother’s day gifts, but to really think about what makes your mum happy. Because only when you really know your mum can you really make it her day.”

Whatever it is that you’re going to do to make your mother’s day really special, Co-op wants to know. Please share your thoughts below - everyone who posts will be entered into a prize draw and one MNer will win a £300 Co-op vouchers.

Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!

My mum is not really into presents and cards. She's happy knowing that everyone in the family is happily and well. A get together would be a bonus unfortunately we are scattered across the globe. So it'll be a group Skype call and some flowers from us on Sunday.
Personally, I'd love a lie in and a cup of tea. Some cooperative children would be a bonus!!

A nice meal out. I actually booked it to ensure that menu choices suited both DC so could have a day without nagging them to eat!

Other than our treat lots of cuddles will suit me fine. First Mothers's Day without my DM so may be in need of them.

My mum is an avid shopper, and can sniff out a bargain at 100 paces. At her request she has shopping vouchers for Lakeside and a nice bottle of wine.

Easily pleased my mum.

Neither myself or my mum 'do' mother's day. I do send my mum a card with a heartfelt thanks but she really wouldn't want anything else. I'm quite happy even if my DC forget all about - I much prefer an "I love you" when they want to say it rather than on a forced day :)

a tidy house.
feeling appreciated.
tea cooked
not coming home to a mess
little things that just let her no we are thinking of her more today
some flowers.
to feel uiltimately how gorgeously special she is

Mother's Day is tough to organise in our family with lots of shift workers and a minister, so we usually move our celebrations to a different day!
We usually hire a BBQ and all being dishes along, special favourites of the mums in the family. Co-op chocs are an absolute must now that they are all fair trade !!❤❤🎉 For a pressie this year I've made a photo book of memories for mum, fingers crossed she likes it! No lie in for me on Mother's Day, I've got a 13 hour shift, so will be eating lots of cake at work instead!

For me it would be sleep the whole night before with neither child waking me up....

As a single parent I'm praying for the day my son can make me a cup of tea whilst I'm in bed.
Im easily satisfied and don't like the enforced buying of gifts etc but the day someone makes me a cup of tea will be the best day ever!

I m working all weekend so would love to come home to see my dd who s at uni and to dinner made and a tidy house !

I think that she just wants a card from each child. Not too much to ask, I think.
For me, a cup of tea in bed would be wonderful.

We are taking my Mum out for afternoon tea. She has wanted to do that for ages now.

To have four happy children with no arguing or crying! Think that might be asking a bit much from a 6 & 3 yr old and 3 month old twins so co-op giving me £300 would be awesome!

My mum's gone on a holiday with her friend, so she obviously isn't expecting much fuss this Mother's Day!

I would like my children to acknowledge me this Sunday. Particularly the older ones for whom I'm like wallpaper; they know I'm there but have stopped seeing me. And tea and toast in bed, of course

In an ideal world, being spoilt rotten and it not actually costing anything. So while loving the idea of life's material luxuries what would be wonderful is a warm sunny day with all loved ones enjoying being in each others company.

For me it's Sleep. Sleep. SLEEP!
I miss sleeping so badly I often daydream about it. I sometimes google image beds and hotel rooms to help me relax
For my mum, well she deserves the world but instead she has a gift bag full of her favourite sweets

i think she would love for a day of complete and utter silence....(she still has 5 children(over20) living at home) lol

I go and see my ma on Mother's Day. We have a family lunch and me and my sister tend to cook.
For a Mother's Day treat, I'd love a lie in and my OH not to be working.. oh, and breakfast in bed. But none of those will happen. I will, however, have a gorgeous morning with my baby and little girl when my OH is at work.. 😀

My mum loves us spending time with her doing activities she enjoys...so taking her to a large garden center to buy new plants and purchase seeds for example, strawberry picking or strolling in a scenic location - then treating her to Afternoon tea at a lovely tea room would make her content. She doesn't like anything fancy, just to enjoy company while engaging in her hobbies.

My mum's favourite thing is to be surrounded by her grandkids and to be able to cook for them - so it's pretty easy for me to turn up for dinner at her house on Mother's Day! I have offered to take her out for dinner instead but she genuinely loves cooking for us all, so who am I to argue?

I'm hoping for a relaxing day off really. Maybe a cup of tea in bed, a card, a small gift perhaps. If the weathers good a nice walk in the park with my 2 babies.

For me, it would be a little lie in, a sweet handmade card from DD with a funny but lovely message in it and then day trip with the DCs and DH to somewhere fun and child friendly that we have never been to before and that we all enjoy.

For my DM, I think it would be a meal with all of us in an exciting / different restaurant that she has never visited before.

It's my first mothers day as a mummy. I just want to have a lovely day with my 5 month old and my husband. A little lie in, a day pottering in the garden together and a yummy home cooked meal sound perfect to me, oh and plenty of cuddles from my tiny human.

This year is my first mother's day as a single Mum. My DCs have brought handmade cards home from school and we will be spending the day baking, playing games and hopefully head out for a picnic.

My own mother passed away 10 years ago so it is a bittersweet day. However, the reason I am a mum is down to my beautiful children, so I will be celebrating their existence just as much tomorrow!

I'm looking forward to a rare mother's day with my mum and my own family. We're going to plant things on our allotment together and have a roast.

We generally have lunch with DMum on Mother's Day, together with DSis and her family. DM always says this is her perfect Mother's Day, surrounded by family.
For me, Mother's Day is made perfect by breakfast in bed with DH and DD, followed by cuddles and tickles and laughter. They also spoil me with flowers, but I'd honestly be just as happy without.
