1. Talk To Your Mom
Step 1 is pretty simple. Talk to your mom and find out her dream destination. If she doesn’t have one, well that’s okay too. Ask her about her favourite holiday that she’s ever had. Most likely it’ll be one with the family. You can go two ways with your vacation route. Either recreate an old holiday or create a brand new one! It’s pretty simple. Let’s tell you the rest.

3. Recreate Your Mom’s Favourite Travel Destination At Home
What does your mom love the most? Beaches or mountains? If your mom is a beach lover, start the surprise by getting the whole family to dress up in beach clothes or just colourful Hawaiian outfits. Wear cute hats, play some beach music to set the ambience. Maybe go that extra step and set up your TV to have a fun beach movie.
Set up a gorgeous candle light dinner at home, complete with fairy lights and her favourite meals. In fact, go all the way. Dress up as a server and offer your mom a menu of her favourite dishes. If you can’t cook, that’s okay too. You can now order (but be very careful and make you sanitise everything and wash your hands before and after opening the food boxes and discarding them.)

Watch YouTube videos together, craft out an itinerary, check out the best food to eat and the best time to visit the place, Discuss a budget.
Your mom will feel so much more valued and love when she realises that she’s being heard and her dreams are being discussed.
