Mother’s Day is a traditional occasion that people celebrate worldwide to show honor, respect, and love to their mothers.

However, as you grow up and attend to life’s responsibilities, you cannot always be physically present. Thanks to technology, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Here are six creative virtual Mother’s Day ideas that you can do to make your mom feel extra special, even virtually.

Surprise Them With Flowers and Plants

A flower is an ideal gift for almost any occasion. It is already beautiful on its own and doesn’t require wrapping, unlike most things. 

The great thing about flowers is that you have a wide selection of colors and variety that suits different personality types and preferences. They also symbolize feelings and emotions such as appreciation, joy, love, sympathy, hope, and forgiveness. It wouldn’t be tough for you to choose one that your mother will surely love. 

A bouquet of roses, daisies, and carnations are quite popular options. Lilies, tulips, peonies, and hydrangeas are also great selections. However, if you want to give her something that will last for a long time, plants would be your best bet. 

Even if she doesn’t have a green thumb, there are plant types that are easy to grow and maintain. It can easily add color and liven up her home. Plus, it can also increase oxygen to improve her health. If you cannot physically purchase one, you may always opt to send plants online for convenience and guaranteed delivery. Just remember to reserve one in advance for her to receive it on the day. 

Watch A Movie Together

Being away from each other doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy doing the things you used to bond with. Another excellent idea you may try on Mother’s Day is having a virtual watch party.

Order Food Online

Due to the pandemic, social distancing is slowly becoming the new norm, even with dining. Good thing restaurants were able to pivot, and they now offer a great selection of food and beverage through contactless delivery. Before, you will have to experience long queues to share a delicious meal. In some cases, you make seat reservations but may not always go as planned. 

Now, you have more freedom and convenience. Order food from your mom’s favorite restaurant online and have it delivered to her doorstep. You can also consider setting up your phone or laptop on the dining table as if you are sharing the same space.

Take A Free Online Course Together

Learning a new skill online is another way to impress your mother on Mother’s Day. For instance, you can enroll in an online cooking class with your mom. You can both try making new cuisine.  If your mom regularly cooks for the rest of the household, the entire family can also enjoy the benefits. Learning something new can be rewarding and exciting for you and your mom. It can also be therapeutic and allow you both to discover new interests and potential skills. 

Even if she may be out of school for quite a while, she will still benefit from the gift of education. Educating oneself and trying new things will help and remind her that she can still grow and change. More so, adopting a new skill will keep her mind engaged and push her body to become more active.
