There is something about a hand-made card that makes it special. Moreover, this is her first Mother’s day, so you can be certain that she will keep souvenirs. And, what better way to remind her how much she means to you, than by making her a DIY Mother’s day greeting card.
2. Let her sleep in

You know all about how she keeps running around getting stuff ready for your baby, and her penchant for waking up at ungodly hours to put the baby to sleep. So, let her sleep in on her first Mother’s day. Not only she, but her aching muscles will also be grateful to you. Somebody once said, “the closer people get, the more the little things matter.” Prophetic words, aren’t they?
3. Surprise her

Women love to be surprised. Arrange a baby sitter for the baby and take your wife out on a romantic dinner date. If there’s a restaurant she’s been talking about for a while, or dropping subtle hints about visiting, take her there, even if it burns a hole in your pocket. And, it needn’t be dinner. You can consider taking her to a wine tasting event as well, or for a lovely sundae.
4. Make her a playlist

This is an old trick. But it works. All the time. So, this mother’s day, create a playlist for your wife. Choose some mom-themed songs to honor her. From rock ballads like “Mama..I’m coming home”, by Ozzy Osborne to “Oh Mother”, by Christina Aguilera, there is no dearth of songs on moms.
5. Pamper her

This is your wife’s first Mother’s day. The best way to honor her is by pampering her. You can set up the living room and break out all those essential oils, or simply book a day of spa treatment for her. Once the baby grows up, the chances of such a day off will be bleak.
