Help in the Garden

Distant Backyard Meet-Ups
Are you trying to enjoy Mother’s Day with your Mom, but you don’t live together? Try a socially distant backyard meetup. Keep that 2 meters of safety, but bring some sodas and a camping chair, and catch up while the sun is shining and birds are singing.
Book Delivery or gift an Audiobook
If you’re looking for a longer-lasting gift, get a book delivered to her door or send an Audiobook. They won’t wilt like flowers, and what’s better than the gift of knowledge?
Have the Kids Make Cards
This is an awesome one for Grandma. Have the kids sit down this week and pull out the crayons, paint, dry pasta, and glitter. Help them whip up some sweet, sweet art and mail it out! Who doesn’t like mail?
Breakfast in Bed
This is a classic for a reason. Mom’s work hard, and if she’s the one who gets up to make breaky every morning, this is a great treat. Staying in bed while you and the kids cook? She’ll be counting her blessings and her pancakes.
At-Home Spa Day
Plan her a well-deserved spa day without leaving the house. Purchases some face masks, foot scrub, and bath bombs. Light some candles, download a spa playlist and make some cucumber water. Consider your house transformed and tranquil.
Delicious Treats Delivered
What does she crave most? Chocolate? Doughnuts? Specialty crème puffs? Whatever the answer is, get an order in asap and have them ready for a special treat.
Mimosas Delivered
A lot of places are doing alcohol delivery now. Put a bottle of sparkling wine and some OJ in your cart and send it off to that life-giving saint who might need a drink. May as well order some for yourself, too
Themed Video Call
Jump on this trend! Themed video calls are tons of fun. Try doing a tea party theme, or outrageous outfits, or Parisian vacation, or something Mom loves. Make a menu beforehand, or have the same restaurant deliver to each home.
Baking Drop-Off
There’s nothing quite as special as homemade baked goods being dropped off at the door. Kids can decorate sugar cookies, or you can whip up a special chocolate cake. Whatever you make, any Mom knows how much love goes into something like that.
Take an Online Class Together
There are hundreds of online classes available. Try taking a cooking class “together” or a crafting class. If you’re used to doing things together with Mom, this is an awesome way to experience something fun, even amidst the distance.
