Don't book for the Sunday itself
Mother's Day itself (the second Sunday in May) is packed everywhere. Give the voucher, but suggest she uses it on a weekday or the Saturday before.
The Mother's Day voucher is the perfect idea to surprise Mum with a lovely break. Wellness at Rigi Kaltbad, brunch on the mountain or a cultural highlight in Bern – she picks how she wants to spend her day.
The classic Mother's Day mistake: piling everything onto the same Sunday. With the voucher you give free choice instead – Mum picks her spa morning, her cruise or her city stroll and sets the date whenever it suits her. Flowers wilt; the voucher lasts 2 years.

Insider tips for Mother's Day
What most people forget about the Mother's Day gift.
Don't default to wellness for older mums
Over-70s often find spas 'too noisy, too little peace'. Boat trips and scenic train rides suit them better. Ask yourself: what would she really choose?
Add a card, even with a digital voucher
Mums treasure a handwritten card. Print the PDF voucher and slip it into a real card instead of just sending an email.
Siblings can club together
Instead of 3 average gifts from 3 siblings: club together for 1 brilliant wellness weekend (e.g. 3 × CHF 100 = CHF 300 for an overnight stay).
How much does a Mother's Day experience gift cost?
The experiences on this page start from CHF 5; around half cost less than CHF 25. When siblings chip in together, it quickly becomes a day Mum will talk about for a long time.

Frequently asked questions
Should the experience happen on Mother's Day itself?
Better not: on the second Sunday of May, brunch spots and baths are overrun. Hand over the voucher on Mother's Day – and suggest a quiet weekday or the Saturday before.
What do I give a mum who isn't into wellness?
A lake cruise, a panoramic train ride or culture in her favourite city. The voucher fixes nothing – ask yourself what she would truly choose, not what people give on Mother's Day.
Can we chip in as siblings?
Absolutely – one shared voucher for a proper amount beats three small separate gifts. Instead of three gestures there's one real experience, say a wellness day with an overnight stay.
How do I make the voucher personal on Mother's Day?
With the dedication on the voucher – plus a real card. Print the PDF, wrap it by hand and put it on the breakfast table; that lands better than any e-mail.
