Usually parents like to stay home most of the time, and not all of them are social birds. But I know that deep inside they like to go out from time to time.
So, how about you surprise your mom today and book her a table at her favorite restaurant for her and your dad or her and her best friend.
When you tell her you already booked it and paid for it, she won't be able to say no. And I am certain after she goes out that night, she will feel how much she needed this. And she will appreciate your act of kindness. And probably she will be talking about you all night, but she will still enjoy it, for sure. And even if your mother goes out a lot and she doesn't need that invitation, just the gesture that it is coming from you, is what matters.
“No man can protect you like your father, No women can love you like your mother.”

If you want to step it out, you can be their chauffeur for the night and maybe after dinner take them on a tour around the town.
This article is Day 7 of celebrating Mother's Day with acts of kindness.
