Spoiling your mother dear on Mother’s Day would usually mean making her feel most absolutely special and loved with gifts and experiences. But what would you do if your country is on a lockdown? The celebrations would certainly look different this year but you do not need to compromise on how you make her feel. Here is a list of ideas you can use that would still get her feeling special and loved:
1. Together, apart: Video-calling has become the norm today, whether it is connecting with family, friends or colleagues. Planning in advance can make it a little more special. Round up your whole family on a video calling app and have activities like a quiz conducted in her honour. You could also have a photo flash contest with your family members displaying their favourite images of her during the call. You can even create a video of all your favourite images of her with heart-felt messages and play it during the call. She’s sure going to blush and remember this one of a kind Mothers’ Day fam-jam for the rest of her life.
2. Coupons: You can create a customized post-lockdown coupon book. Use your creativity, and make a special little booklet with leaves with pre-booked activities for your mother. The leaves of the booklet can have items like ‘Dinner out’, ‘Spa date’, ‘Movie Night’ and other activities your mother has always been yearning to do with you.
3. Hand-made Gifts: There are a ton of DIYs that are floating around on the internet, pick one that makes cool stuff with items you can easily get your hands on. You’ll be surprised with what amazingly pretty stuff you can come up with, using even something as dried flowers and paper. Check out our blog on dried flowers for more ideas - https://www.interflora.in/blog/preserved-flowers-flowers-of-memories-to-reminisce-forever
4. Breakfast in Bed: You could do a cute table set up with all her favourite bakery items (bake yourself or order online) and don’t forget to add some fresh blooms, a little hand written note/Mothers’ Day card to the tray. Try a new morning drink like a special tea or a healthy smoothie made with all her favourite fruits. You can even add a fruit basket https://www.interflora.in/mothers-day-flowers to the whole set up for a summery, healthy charm.
5. Home Restaurant: Cook up a delicious meal of her favourite dishes, write out a nice menu, dress the part of a waiter for an added charm your mum will adore! Get the Mother’s Day special dinner décor right with fresh flowers to charm the lady, some sweetmeats to go for the dessert, scented candles and fragrant gifts set at the table.
