There is nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than the English tradition of afternoon tea! It has long been a tradition in the UK to enjoy this treat, which is sure to leave you feeling stuffed by Sunday evening! It usually consists in traditional English tea or champagne to drink, depending on how lavishly you wish to treat your mom, a selection of sandwiches with different fillings, and some cakes and pastries. If you want to go for a really traditional English theme, then you can add some scones with cream and jelly!

Travel

Top 5 activities for you and your mom on Mother’s Day

With technology as it is today, travel has never been easier. You could splash out, and go on a trip to Europe with your mom, taking her to see the sights of the Colosseum in Rome, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or the many sights of London. If your budget is a bit more limited, head to your nearest city or a different town to where you usually go, and enjoy the sights like a tourist. After all, it’s easy to forget to be a tourist in your own home!

There’s no better way to do it than a spa day together. You can have a nice massage, head to the sauna and see out the day in the hot tub to make sure that your mom will be feeling completely laid back and chilled out to the max.

Not all moms want relaxation and tranquility on Mother’s Day, so if your mom falls into that category, why not take part in some extreme sports? Sky diving is always a popular option, particularly as you can even do the jump together! You could also go white water rafting, mountain climbing, or maybe something a bit less physical challenging, such as a trek or long walk with the family.
