Every mother deserves a good Mother’s Day, but the first one can be extra special for a first-time mum. That’s why we’ve looked around to find a few Mother’s Day activities that are not only memorable but thoughtful too. From a picnic in the park to a leisurely brunch to a relaxing massage, we’ve rounded up five things new mums can do with their infant, toddler and/or friend this Mother’s Day.

3. Capturing Special Moments
This Mother’s Day, print your favourite photos on canvas through Photobook – they will soon be your most cherished collectables over the years. If you have some extra time on your hands, rummage through a box of old photos with your mother and recreate the image with your child and have them both printed side by side. Photobook Malaysia has a special May promotion: 56% off all canvas prints with the code “NEWMAYCANVAS”.
Date: All throughout May; Website: Photobook Malaysia.

5. Picnic in the Park
If you aren’t one for public Mother’s Day promotions or specials, why not create your own special day with your little one? Pack up your favourite meal, head down to the park closest to you and create your own little picnic spread. It may not be fancy, but you will surely get to bond with your baby while enjoying all that fresh air and homemade snacks. It’s a great way to take a break from household chores for the day!
