Turn a bathrobe into the gift of a relaxation day

Who says you need a five-star hotel to feel like a million bucks?

Why not take a soft, plush robe, often associated with luxury, comfort, relaxation, quiet, and peace – and build on these concepts by gifting a special mum not just a bathrobe but a few hours or a day of indulgent rest?

Giving the mum of your children a thoughtful present like this to demonstrate your gratitude for all she does as a mother is an amazing thought for dads and partners on Mother’s Day, especially if you have young children who can’t do much on their own for their mum .

The value of “me time” can not be underestimated; a little bit of peace and solitude is one of the best gifts you can give to someone who needs it. For a mum, this will make her feel amazing and remind her that what she does for you and the family is seen, felt, respected and cherished.

Step 1 - Purchase items

Purchase a soft, comfortable bathrobe, a bottle of champagne, and a gift bag/box.

Step 2 - Make a plan for the children

Make a plan for what you will do with your child(ren) to get them out of the house and away from their mum for a day.

Step 3 - Write a heartfelt note

Print out or write on a card a note that says something like this:

I am so thankful to have you in my life, and I am so proud of the wonderful mum you are. You never cease to amaze me with your selfless love for our family. I respect you!

Today, I want you to take a break from reality and enjoy doing whatever your heart desires. Here is a beautiful bathrobe for you to relax in. Put your feet up and do things that make you smile. I will take the kids out all day, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

To make this day more indulgent and relaxing, there is a bottle of champagne waiting for you in the fridge. Put yourself first today and enjoy some much-deserved “me time”!

Above all, please know how much you are loved and appreciated. Our family owes you everything!

Step 4 - Gift wrap and chill champagne

Place the folded bathrobe and note inside an attractive gift bag/box to present it to her. Place the gift bag/box near her bed or somewhere in plain sight where she’ll see it first thing in the morning, so that she can open it immediately.

Make sure to have chilled champagne ready for her in the fridge!
