Things you’ll need:

Steps:

3. Get your circle cookie cutter, place it on the pan, grease the pan and set it into medium-low heat.

5. MOVIE MARATHON

This is my favorite among all. In here, you’ll only need papers and a small envelope, you may want to try what is shown on the picture 👆 because it’s just an additional to the presentation, you just want to cut pieces of paper, imitate movie tickets. Then prep your room! Download different movies, pop up some pop corn, prepare cold refreshing drinks. Design your room and make it your own movie date with your mom.

Let me know what gift will you try! Remember, it’s still the effort and the thought from the heart that count, if you can’t do these things? Simply make your mom’s day special by giving her your time, go on a spa together, pamper yourselves, serve everything she wants that after all the tiresome days she had for you, it’s time to pay back. Greet your moms, Happy Mother’s Day for me! Good Luck!
