10 Beautiful Ways To Say Happy Birthday Momma Bear

Today is a super special post and dedicated to my best friend and number one fan. My Mum.

Why today? Well, it’s only her birthday of course! The one day of the year where the dog gets up before her to yap at my horrendous rendition of Happy Birthday!

I would not be who I am today without you (I admit I’m a bit batty but I guess they say like mother like daughter ey?) so thank you and I hope that you have the most magical day. You enjoy your Lulu Guinness gift that I’ve managed to keep secret for a whole month and please when you read this make sure that you’re not sober. It’s your birthday after all. 21 today and as radiant as always!

There’s no show without punch – Ziggy wishes you a happy birthday and has asked if because it’s your birthday does it mean he’s getting halibut for his dinner?

Cheers to all the great times we’ve had and the great times yet to come. Love you always Momma Bear!

So looking at today, it made me realised that celebrating your mum’s birthday is a special occasion that deserves all the love, joy, and thoughtfulness you can give. Whether she’s your best friend, your number one fan, or simply the person who has always been there for you, her birthday is the perfect time to show her just how much she means to you. If you’re looking for fun, creative, and heartfelt ways to make her day truly memorable, here are 10 fantastic ideas to celebrate your mum’s birthday in style.

1. A Surprise Breakfast in Bed

Let’s start the day right! There’s something so heartwarming about waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee, warm pancakes, or a full English breakfast. Whip up your mum’s favourite morning treats and surprise her with breakfast in bed. Don’t forget the little touches like fresh flowers on the tray or a handwritten birthday card for that extra special feeling.

2. Plan a Day Out Together

Is there a place your mum has been talking about visiting but hasn’t gotten around to yet? A garden centre, museum, or local seaside town? Plan a special day out just for the two of you. Whether it’s a simple stroll around a local park, a visit to a spa for some pampering, or even exploring a nearby city, spending quality time together will mean the world to her. Make sure the day is all about her, doing the things she loves.

3. Create a Scrapbook or Memory Jar

If your mum loves sentimentality (and let’s face it, most do), a scrapbook filled with memories or a jar packed with notes from loved ones is a perfect gift. Gather old photos, little notes, and maybe even a few mementoes like concert tickets or postcards from trips you’ve taken together. It’s a beautiful way to reminisce over shared moments and show her just how much those memories mean to you.

4. Throw a Garden Party

If the weather allows, why not organise a little garden get together with family and friends? It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, just some fairy lights, homemade treats, and her favourite people. You could even set up a small afternoon tea with scones, clotted cream, and champagne. Your mum will appreciate the effort, and it’s a lovely way for her to feel celebrated by everyone she loves.

Or if you’re like my mum, a full blown white party for 50 people in her garden in Spain complete with singer will do…

5. Pamper Day at Home

Who doesn’t love a little TLC on their birthday? Turn your home into a day spa for your mum. Run her a hot bath, complete with candles, bath salts, and some calming music. You can follow that up with a mini at-home facial, some mani-pedi treatments, and her favourite cup of tea or glass of wine. If you want to go all out, make her a ‘spa menu’ to choose from for ultimate pampering.

6. Personalised Jewellery

Jewellery is always a winning gift, but why not take it a step further with something personalised? Whether it’s a necklace with her children’s initials, a bracelet engraved with a meaningful date, or a charm with her birthstone, personal touches turn a lovely gift into something truly cherished. Every time she wears it, she’ll think of you and how much effort you put into making her day special.

7. Book a Surprise Photoshoot

If your mum loves a good family photo, surprise her with a photoshoot. Whether it’s just you and her or the whole family, a professional photoshoot can be a lot of fun. Choose a location that holds meaning, maybe the beach where you spent your childhood summers or a nearby park. The photos will not only be a wonderful birthday gift but also memories that last a lifetime.

8. Take Her on a Mini Shopping Spree

Every mum deserves a little retail therapy, right? Treat your mum to a mini shopping spree where she gets to pick out a few of her favourite items, whether that’s a new outfit, her favourite skincare products, or some bits and bobs for the house. Top the day off with a coffee date or lunch at her favourite café.

9. Cook Her Favourite Dinner

Let’s be honest, mums always seem to spend more time in the kitchen than anyone else. Why not give her the night off and cook her absolute favourite dinner? It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple pasta dish or a roast dinner, just the fact that you’re taking the time to cook something she loves will mean everything. Light some candles, put on her favourite music, and make it a special evening to remember.

10. A Weekend Getaway

If you really want to go all out, plan a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a cosy cottage in the countryside or a chic hotel in her favourite city, getting away for a few days will be the perfect way for her to relax and recharge. Don’t forget to plan activities around her interests, whether that’s spa treatments, wine tasting, or simply enjoying a peaceful stroll around scenic surroundings.

Birthdays are the perfect time to spoil your mum and remind her how important she is to you. Whether you plan an extravagant event or a simple, heartfelt gesture, what matters most is showing her that you care. So, take your pick from these 10 ideas, add your personal touch, and make this birthday one she’ll never forget. After all, no one deserves to feel special more than your mum.
