“Mother’s Day may look a bit different this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate and treat the special women in your life! With a little creativity, these five ideas can be enjoyed in the company of Mom or with slight variations, from afar.”
Mother’s Day may look a bit different this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate and treat the special women in your life! A nice meal out at her favorite restaurant and a big family gathering may be off the table, but with a little creativity, these five ideas can be enjoyed in the company of Mom or with slight variations, from afar.
1. Enjoy A Meal Together
Far : Bring Italy to Mom! An online cooking class is a great way to feel together while apart. For example, Airbnb is offering amazing online experiences at reasonable rates, hosted by talented cooks from all over the world. Want to learn how to make pasta from an authentic Italian nonna? Now’s your chance. For the less technologically savvy, surprise her with takeout from her favorite restaurant.
2. Do A DIY Project
Far : Organize a paint night! Online retailers like Amazon are at your service for all of your paint night supply needs. Send some supplies over to Mom ahead of time, and then choose one of the many DIY Paint Night videos on YouTube. It feels good to get the creative juices flowing!
3. Organize A Game Night
Near : Break out the board games! If Mom wants to play a 6-hour game of Monopoly, then settle in for the long haul. Tasty snacks and beverages are essential!
Far : Download Houseparty! If you can’t be there to play games in person, this app is a fantastic solution. Able to host up to 8 people in a virtual room, it has built-in games like Heads Up, Trivia, Chips and Guac, and Quick Draw to keep everyone entertained!
4. Put On A Movie Night
Far : Send a gift basket that includes all the fixings, popcorn, her favorite candy, and a cozy blanket, for a perfect movie night. If you want to watch the movie together, there are plenty of apps like Netflix Party and Watch2gether to make it happen!
5. Throw a Themed Party!
Far : Organize a Zoom Call with the whole family- (try one of Bublup’s beautiful backgrounds!) and have a catch-up and a cocktail. Costume requirements can extend to this environment as well! If you’re an awkward bunch that can’t keep conversation flowing naturally, refer back to #3 and consider using Houseparty.
