Celebrating Mother’s Day in the middle of a global pandemic could complicate things for some. Where travel is difficult, those who live far from their mothers are looking for new and creative ways to celebrate this special day from afar. Whether you have plans to spend the day with Mom or not, here are some ideas for ways you can make this year special in spite of unusual circumstances.

The Mother’s Day Classic

The great news is that a global pandemic can’t stop anyone from sending flowers. A quick Google search for ‘flowers for Mother’s Day delivery‘ with your local area will do the trick in step one of any great Mother’s Day plan. When ordering a Mother’s Day flower delivery, think about ways to make her flowers more personal than the standard bouquet. If her favorite color is blue, consider blue carnations with her favorite tulips. If she loves sunflowers, make sure those are in the bouquet you order, too. Most florists will let you pick and choose your arrangements. In taking advantage of this, you’re sure to build a bouquet unique to your mom’s preferences.

When ordering flowers, ask the florist about including a gift card. Most florists will include any message you want. If you plan properly, you could go the extra step of including a personal poem or even a quote you know your mom loves. The idea, here, is to make your delivery unique compared to years past. In asking the florist about delivery options, you might find even more original ideas, too.

Comfort at Home or On the Road

Whether your mom has wanderlust or is more of a homebody, think about comfort when it comes to picking her gift. Lately, older women are falling for the perks of compression technology and buying items to support not only their overall comfort but health. For example, a woman with a history of blood clots might appreciate a pair of whimsical travel socks for time on the go or even around the house. If you’re mom’s one who enjoys long days of walking, this could be a great gift to support both her health and interests.

When considering the perfect Mother’s Day gift, consider the price of shipping this year. If you can’t see her in person, you’ll want to think about something lightweight but also practical. Ask yourself what her interests are and ways you can support the hobbies and things she’s passionate about. In the middle of a pandemic, gifts for home or entertainment will be appreciated. Consider her favorite movies and books. Think about how she spends her free time or whether she’s made new uses of her backyard or living room since the shutdowns. By putting thought into your gift, she’ll be more likely to love it.

Handmade Gifts

If a store-bought gift won’t work, a popular choice is to go with something handmade. Homemade gifts are often even more appreciated by mothers because they come from the heart. You could be spending your own time in quarantine or shutdowns working on a unique gift for your mom. Consider your own skills and talents. If you can sew, go with a custom accessory or blanket for Mom. A new throw blanket for her recently refinished basement, a scarf to match those compression socks, or even a hand-written letter could go a long way in touching her heart this Mother’s Day.

No matter what gift you choose for your Mom, she’ll treasure it most if you put your love into it. By making your gift both personal and from the heart, you’ll be sure to make her smile on her special day. Be creative, consider homemade items, and don’t forget those special flowers, and this Mother’s Day will be one she won’t forget. If you’re a mom, Happy Mother’s Day to you, too. Don’t forget to engage in a little self-care.
