Lockdown Mother's Day Ideas

This lockdown has completely changed the way we live and relate to one another. Gone are the days of family braai’s, painting the night red with your girlfriends and spa days. 

This Mother’s day is no different. So how do we make our moms feel special? Here are some ideas to connect while social distancing;

Make a video; 

Call your siblings and record yourselves singing your moms favourite song, tell her how grateful you are, or make a funny video with the grandkids. This is a great way for her to see that 1. You are all healthy 2. That you are thinking of her and made a little more effort to give her a gift she can really keep. 

Virtual Family Dinner;

If your mom loves to cook, set us a group video call where you all cook her favourite meal and eat together. This is an opportunity to share that special moment before the family sits down. The laughter, stories and lessons shared in the kitchen while we cook. 

Give her a call; 

Social distancing can be difficult in this time. Whether you are in a full house or alone. We all crave meaningful connections. Check in, find out how she is?, what she would love this Mothers Day? and remind her of what a wonderful job she did raising you.

Breakfast in bed:

If you are spending quarantine with mom, let her sleep in this morning. Make her breakfast in bed and run her a bubble bath. Give her a moment to feel taken care of and relaxed. 

Send her something sweet

Lockdown level 4 has given us a little more freedom to buy some of our favourite things. Send mom her favourite flowers & chocolates, everyone loves a special delivery. 

Here are some downloadable Mother’s Day cards for that extra special touch:
