The Ultimate Guide to Making Breakfast in Bed for Mother’s Day

Breakfast in bed is more than just bringing your loved one food to eat somewhere other than the kitchen. It’s an act of love and thoughtfulness, like a little love note but on plate! With the right amount of planning (and maybe a handy tray!), you can turn an ordinary morning into a wonderfully sweet start to their day.

Planning the Perfect Breakfast in Bed 

A little planning goes a long way when it comes to turning the usual morning into a serene and special occasion. Some of the best breakfast in bed ideas come from thinking ahead, so avoid the early-morning panic and make sure the only things scrambled are the eggs! 

Our biggest tip is to organise as much as you can the night before. This includes choosing a simple yet delicious menu, finding and setting aside any serving plates and bowls, and prepping as many of your ingredients as possible so you don’t have to rush around in the morning. 

We suggest planning your menu beforehand so that you can opt for tastier and more fun food choices compared to what you regularly enjoy. Because who wouldn’t love to wake up to the scent of warm buttermilk pancakes or the unmistakable smell of bacon and eggs!

How to Cook Breakfast in Bed

Keeping things simple in the kitchen is key to a stress-free breakfast in bed experience. Preparing as much as you can in advance lightens the load on the day, so think about choosing recipes that are make-ahead like our Overnight Oats or Healthy Granola. You can even save on cleaning up multiple dishes by prepping and storing the oats in containers that have lids. Not only will they keep fresh longer but also look stylish too. Our Décor Bamboo Glass Containers are a great option! 

Getting the kids involved can be tricky especially if you're cooking up a hot breakfast, so look out for innovative cooking gadgets, such as this 3-in-1 egg cooker. A breakfast game-changer, it’s a simple and low mess way to cook eggs that eliminates the need for a stove and the kids can feel like they cooked!

To make things even easier right from the start, think about organising your pantry and cooking ingredients with pantry storage containers. These can help ensure your food stays fresher for longer and keep your pantry tidy, so you can find what you need straight away.

Preparation is key to making the morning run smoothly and that goes for the cooking process too. Multi-purpose utensils like measuring jugs are great because you can mix and pour pancake batter without having to create more dishes to clean! Our range of Food Prep essentials can help make cooking up your next breakfast in bed extravaganza a breeze!

Serving Breakfast in Bed

Serving a beautiful breakfast in bed and avoiding potential spills is definitely achievable! It’s all about using the right dishes and drinkware. If your kids want to bring your loved one a cosy and hot cup of tea or coffee (or even hot chocolate!), skip the trembling teacups and saucers and go for a reusable travel cup or mug. Not only do they keep any splashes to a minimum, but they also make sure the drinks stay warm. The same goes for a fresh smoothie or juice! Keep things cool and mess-free by serving them in a smoothie cups or tumblers. And if you’re tired of grapes rolling off plates or strawberries sliding around, consider using bento box style container to keep things neat with no chance of escape.

Using a range of containers and drinkware that prevent drips and leaks means you can focus on the delight of the gesture and not the drama of possible messes.

Make It Extra Special for Mother’s Day 

Breakfast in bed is a timeless tradition and a wonderful way to show appreciation for Mum on Mother’s Day. While making and enjoying delicious food is a great way to cherish the day with her, adding sweet and personal touches elevates the experience even further. Consider handwritten notes with cute puns or messages, placing a few flowers in a small vase, or including a thoughtful little gift on the tray. While these small gestures speak volumes, taking the time to be with her and enjoy the beautiful breakfast you have cooked up together is the best way to spend the day! It's shared moments like these that she’ll never forget.
