Chef Day
Do you both enjoy cooking and baking? Take over the kitchen and create an amazing, multi-course meal together from recipes. Or bake up a storm of cookies and other treats, and eat them afterward, curled up in front of your favorite chick flicks.
Shopping Day
If you two like shopping, you can spend a great day doing just that. Don't just limit yourselves to clothing stores, though. Try visiting antiques stores, vintage shops, poster stores, or even garage sales. Limit your budget, so there are no arguments, and see what treasures you can find.
Spa Day
Are you both in need of some pampering? Make a spa day at home and relax together as you get beautiful! Play mellow music, light some scented candles, and set up a manicure station. Take turns doing each others' nails. Or to make it super-easy, just buy some single-use facial masks at the drugstore, and pick up some magazines. Loaf, beautify, listen to tunes, and laze away the day together. Ahhh.
Scrapbooking Day
Want to create a mother-daughter keepsake (and show your dad how close you and mom really are)? Start a Mother-Daughter scrapbook. Create pages about different things you have done together - or want to do. Write in your favorite quotes. Do a quiz on your mom to learn things about her you never knew, and write in the answers. Then have her do the same to you. Keep the scrapbook going as a journal after your special day, and take turns writing in it. When you read it, you will each get a great perspective on each other's views and experiences.
Volunteering Day
Are you and your mom socially/politically minded? Use your mother-daughter day to do a volunteer activity together, and brighten the lives of others who could use the help. Make homemade cards for kids in hospital; sort through your closets and find clothes in good condition you no longer want and then take these together to a women's shelter; work in a soup kitchen; or find another community service project to do together.
Educational Day
Taking a class together can be a lot of fun, if you find one that suits both of your interests. Check with your local YMCA or community center for a class in something like music, cooking, photography, drawing, or something else that interests the both of you.
