How to Celebrate Mom from Home?

Offer yard and garden services

• If you’re local, give Mom a “gift cerficate” for your family’s yard and garden services. Help her by laying down mulch. Put the “certificate” in a flower pot with spring-planted bulbs which flower in summer.
• If you’re not local, how about a 1-year subscription to The Old Farmer’s Almanac Garden Planner? Any gardener would love it! And it’s an instant present without shipping!

Decorate your mom’s door or front porch!
If you’re local, you can have fun decorating your mom’s front door with streamers, special signs, a wreath, and flowers! If you have kids, get them involved! Mom or grandma will love the surprise.

Of course, flowers and plants are always a delight. If you’re local, deliver plants to her porch in person. If you’re not local, there’s always delivery in most places (but order well enough ahead!).

• A rosebush or geranium plant is always welcome.
• Or, perhaps a dogwood or flowering shrub for her garden would be appreciated.
• Buying cut flowers? See the symbolic meanings of common flowers! Or consider the monthly birth flowers for each child.

Cook for Mom or set up a virtual brunch date.

• If your mother is living with you, breakfast in bed is always a classic and appreciated. Something simple is fine for this, such as toast or a croissant with jam or fruit and a cup of coffee or tea. Or, if she’s not fond of eating in bed, how about preparing a sit-down brunch? Here are

  15 delicious brunch ideas.

• If you’re not with mom in person, how about a virtual brunch date? We suggest these Champagne Mimosas. You can drop off the ingredients at her door if she’s local, or send the recipe in advance to everyone! Then Zoom with the entire family and raise a glass to mom!
• If your mom is local, drop off a casserole dinner. It’s great comfort food, and you can put it all together to drop off on her porch! See 15 casserole recipe ideas.
• Or, bake a cake! Traditionally, children in England always baked a cake for their Mother’s Day. If you like this tradition, here’s a truly delicious (and better than boxed) cake recipe: Chocolate Mousse Cake. We also love Nana’s Funny Cake.

Give your mom an extra-long phone call or put on a virtual talent show!

• Talk to her (or videochat) and make her laugh. Perhaps throw in some good “mom jokes.” All most moms want is time with you.
• If the young kids are involved, put on a talent show for Grandma! It can be simple! Sing a song, show off some gymnastics, play an instrument.

Watch a movie or show together, side by side.

• If you’re all at home in one place, have a movie that night, complete with theater treats.
• If you’re in separate locations, watch the same movie on your computers at the same time. Or, start a marathon of your favorite

  TV series while indulging in a glass of wine or cup of tea.

Get creative: Make Mom a video, a music playlist, or a piece of art!

• Record a video from all of the children. They can each say “Happy Mother’s Day” and why they appreciate her. You can always use iMovie to splice videos together on your phone.
• Or, make a tape or a music playlist. You could gather calming songs for bedtime, such as the sound of the seas. Or, you could gather her very favorite songs from the era that she loves most. (If your mom has an iPhone, create a special iTunes playlist that will get emailed to her.)
• How about a special work of art for Mom? For example, paint the outside of a terra-cotta flower pot and fill it with garden seeds and a card. Or, make a beautiful photo frame with your family photo inside. You can find many ideas on Pinterest and elsewhere on the Web.

Get outside! Go for a stroll in the park or how about packing mom a picnic?

• Fresh air always lifts the spirit. There’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature! Spring is a wonderful time to visit a park.
• How about packing a simple picnic? If mom’s living nearby, drop off a picnic basket on her porch!
• If you’re living together, pack a cooler for a beautiful drive through the countryside. Here are great picnic food ideas.

Make a homemade gift!

You don’t need to go out to a store and buy a gift. Mothers love gifts from the heart.

Here are some fun craft projects—including gifts from the kitchen as well as

DIY beauty products for a home spa basket!

• Make your own herbal vinegar
• Make your own fruit facial or scrub
• Make your own soap
• Make a lavender sachet
• Make rose potpourri
• Make strawberry jam
• Make blueberry-rhubarb Jam
• Make a pretty gift jar

If you wish to buy a gift online, how about jewelry with her child’s birthstone?

• For example, if your birthday is in August, give your mother peridot stud earrings. She’ll always think of her dear child when she wears them. See birthstones by month if you’re not sure of your birthstone or its meaning. Many small online businesses offer free shipping. Etsy is also a great place to find unique jewelry and help support small businesses at the same time.

Even if you’re not together, the wonders of technology make so much possible today!

More and more museums are opening up their “walls” to offer virtual tours during this time!

Take a virtual tour of a museum or garden together!

• Set up a Mother’s Day date for you and your mom to visit the Louvre in Paris! Or how about the Vatican in Rome? Or, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City?
• Would you rather take in the marvels of nature? Check out this Nature Conservancy virtual field trip in Oklahoma!
• Is mom a garden lover? The famous Holland tulip farm Keukenhof has created a virtual tulip tour since they can’t welcome visitors in person! You could also visit Monet’s Gardens in France to see the waterlillies! Or, how about taking a virtual trip to Hawaii to see tropical flowers

Make your own card

• Don’t forget to send a card in advance! In our home, it’s a tradition to make a homemade card every year. Moms love homemade! Here’s one way to make Homemade Note Cards.
• Wondering what to write in the card? How about sharing a funny story or happy memory of you and your mom? It will make her smile!
