Mother’s Day in Barbados

Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 10th of May this year. This is one of the most beautiful holidays when people around the world celebrate those brave and wonderful women who gave us birth and who love us the most. Naturally, Barbados is one of the countries where people will show their appreciation to their mothers too on the second Sunday in May. Let’s take a look at how you can organize or spend the most memorable Mother’s Day in Barbados.

Order, buy or make a present for your mom

Let’s start with the present you should get for your mom or grandma. It doesn’t actually have to be something big or expensive. What is important is that you show them how much you care. Since you are the one who knows your mom best, you should be the one who could tell what would make her happy on that special day. Is it a new piece of clothing, a book, or a handmade card saying how much you appreciate all that she does for you and your family? 

There are many other ways, apart from physical gifts, you can express your love and gratitude. For instance, you can surprise her by:

• Letting her sleep in – this is something that young moms will probably appreciate more than any other gift;
• Doing some chores around the house that she would be the one doing on a regular day – yes, our dear husbands, we are looking at you; And while at it, you can also fix some of the broken stuff around the house.
• Making a meal and/or a dessert for your family while she enjoys reading a book or having a coffee with her friends;
• Doing something that you know she wouldn’t ask you to, but she would like you to do. For instance, if your mom is planning to move soon, you can help her research mastermovingguide.com for the best moving assistance. Or, you can look into summer holiday options together if she is not so skilled in browsing online.
• Organizing a fun day out – Mother’s Day in Barbados can really be a memorable experience since the place has got so much to offer.

Where to take your mom on Mother’s Day in Barbados?

Since the weather in Barbados in nothing less than perfect, it is easy to plan a day outside without worrying about rain ruining your plans. That means that a beach is always an option. But, if you would like to be just a bit more original than that, you should make a reservation at some of the Barbados restaurants. Brunch or lunch – the choice is yours. Just make sure that you book your table on time since many people will think alike and take their moms to a fine restaurant for a meal.

Here you have two options – the safe one would be to take your mom to her favorite restaurant and you can do no wrong if you choose to do so. On the other hand, Mother’s Day in Barbados is such a special holiday that you might want to try something new, for instance, a new culinary experience.

The restaurant owners are already preparing their special offers for that day. Just like they did in the previous years, many of them offer a free glass of wine, a cocktail or a dessert as their gift to all moms having lunch at their premises on the 10th of May.

Take your mom to the shops

Shopping or just window shopping is many women’s favorite hobby. Take some time to take your mom to the shopping center and let her choose a present for her special day. This doesn’t have to be an expensive experience, but your mom will surely appreciate the time the two (or more) of you spend together.

Treat your mom to a spa day

This is also one of the popular ideas for celebrating Mother’s Day in Barbados, but that doesn’t make it less appreciated. Almost every woman likes being pampered at a spa or a beauty salon, and this is the perfect opportunity to give them such an experience. If you are not really sure what treatment to book, vouchers are always an option. 

This might not be the cheapest present to get, but this is not the time to be a penny pincher. We know that there are many situations when you simply cannot afford expensive gifts. If you are planning to buy a house, for example, or when you are expecting a new family member, you should be careful not to overspend. But you can save money on your upcoming relocation by planning ahead and choosing less popular dates for your move, and still spend the money you had saved on a spa treatment for your mom.

Luckily, Barbados has an abundance of luxury hotels offering spa treatments, so even if you are not a local, you can book an all-inclusive weekend and show your mom just how much you care about her. Just check the hotel occupancy before you start planning. Mother’s Day weekend is the time of year many choose to spend at exotic destinations like Barbados. Can you blame them? Not even those living at the seaside elsewhere can boast such clean and wonderfully blue waters and white sandy beaches.

Other places you can go to on Mother’s Day in Barbados

Barbados is not just about beaches, spas, and restaurants. There are many other ways to enjoy this amazing place. Maybe you can plan an excursion for you and your mom and visit some places you didn’t have a chance to see before. Here are some suggestions:

• Sunbury Plantation House – the three hundred years old, genuine plantation house is full of historical content; After a tour, you can have a lunch there too.
• Mount Gay Rum Distilleries – the place where Barbadian famous spirits are made.
• Cayman National Gallery – a safe pick for art lovers.
• George Washinton House – if your mom is a fan of history, maybe she would like to go.
• St Nickolas Abbey – enjoy the architecture and sip some rum that is being made on site.

Conclusion
