Mother’s Day is this Sunday and for many of us, it’s becoming more difficult to come up with ways to spend the special day with our even more special ladies. But being in the middle of a stay-at-home order doesn’t mean you can’t give her something thoughtful and beautiful to brighten her day.
In fact, all of the gifts listed below are ready to be delivered right to your mother figure’s door, just in time for the holiday. Be sure to avoid that last-minute rush!
While it may be a completely reimagined holiday, these gifts will make her special day just as wonderful as years past.
Expressing gratitude to healthcare heroes working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic just got a little easier with the return of Random Acts of Ice Cream from Midwest-made Hudsonville Ice Cream. The family-owned ice cream company is bringing back the popular campaign to help people say thank you to the doctors, nurses, first responders and other healthcare workers who are essential in the fight against COVID-19.
Hudsonville is accepting nominations for Random Acts of Ice Cream with plans to ship a number of boxes each week. Nominators can share why the healthcare hero in their lives should receive an ice cream pick-me-up in these trying times and Hudsonville Ice Cream will coordinate with selected nominators to gather shipping information and send the care package without any effort or time required of the recipient. Ice cream pints from Hudsonville will be delivered directly to homes of those working in the fight against the virus. The program will continue throughout the summer.
Luckily, photographers have figured out how to continue hosting virtual sessions during quarantine. Contact your favorite photographer and ask if they’d be willing to capture your favorite girl on her special day. Then, tell your mom to get all gussied up and follow the photog’s directives for making the virtual photoshoot as beautiful as it would have been in person.
If you and your mom live close to each other, head over in your car for a six-foot-apart “drive-in” visit. By now, I’m sure you’ve seen different iterations of this special show-of-affection on social media. Now is the perfect time to buy in yourself.
If the weather permits, sit in the yard and talk about all the great things she wants to chat about, from a safe distance, of course. Or gather loved ones and ride in front of her house caravan-style for a Mother’s Day drive-up party.
Ahead of Sunday, send your loved ones invitations to an e-brunch along with some easy recipes and a link to Zoom for them to join. Then, order from your favorite local restaurant and arrange for the all brunch fixins’ to be delivered directly to your special girl.
It’s always great to hop on Facetime call, but when you’re trying to multitask, holding a phone or your laptop gets to be a bit clunky. Luckily, Facebook has an answer for that with their roving video conferencing device, Portal.
The smart camera automatically pans and zooms to keep up with the action. Move and talk freely and always stay in the frame. Also, As more people enter a room, the camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so your favorite girl doesn’t miss a moment as more people enter the room.
We hope these ideas will help you celebrate your mom in the best way during a time that is new for us all.
Happy Mother’s Day!
