Mother’s Day is just around the corner and this year the ways to celebrate our mothers have changed drastically due to COVID-19.
If you need some ideas on what to do for your mother while in quarantine, here are 14 ways you can celebrate while staying safe at home.
1. Chores
Let’s start with an easy one that is cost-free and all moms would appreciate. This Mother’s Day, help your mother with chores around the house.
Moms always do a lot of home chores so it is time for them to get a day off, so tell your mom to rest while you take over the work.
2. Get creative & make her something
If you do not know what to gift your mother and haven’t had a chance to get her a gift, get creative and make her something. You can create a beautiful card yourself!
You just need some paper and markers or paint. If you want to get really creative, there are tons of YouTube DIY ideas.
I have even created some Mother’s Day cards that you can print or send from home!

3. Cook or Bake
Wake up your mother with a breakfast in bed to start off the day, surprise her with a tray of her favorite breakfast or you can cook a special dinner.
You can also bake her something, if you would prefer.
If cooking is not your thing, you can order her favorite food and have it sent to her.
4. Backyard picnic
Have some outside time while still remaining at home!
Have a picnic in any outside space you have at home. Set up a blanket and bring along snacks to enjoy together, maybe even a bottle of wine. Enjoying your food delivery outside can be an alternative to change things up for the day.
5. Get her flowers
Flower shops were allowed to reopen, so support your local flower shops and order your mom a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered.
If you have a garden, pick some flowers up and create your own bouquet!
6. Home spa day
Quarantine has everyone in need of a manicure and pedicure, so have her choose a nail polish or press-on’s and have her relax while you can provide her with the basic care.
Get some skin care done together, too! Grab a couple of masks and relax with a bottle of wine, if you’re 21 years or older of course. If not, any tasty, refreshing beverage will do.
7. Movie night
Have a movie night and have your mother choose a movie and bring a bowl of popcorn along with some of her favorite delicious snacks.
8. Online cooking class
Take an online cooking class along with your mother! It is a fun way to execute a delicious meal while enjoying some time together.
9. Fitness/Yoga class
Whether your mom enjoys having a good exercise or prefers a more relaxing form of physical activity, enjoy some time together and take an online fitness or yoga class.
Many guided videos can be found on YouTube.
10. Happy Hour
If you’re 21 years and older, get the party going at home and have some drinks! Cheers to the woman who raised you!
11. Karaoke/Dance
Enjoy a night of singing along to your mom’s favorite songs while having a cocktail in hand. If you want to get the body moving, enjoy some dancing.
You can go along with your body flow to any song, or download and play “Just Dance.”
12. Makeover
Give your mother a glam makeover and dress up.
Even if there is nowhere to go, moms can enjoy having their makeup done and dressing up.
Let’s be honest: this quarantine has everyone doing the bare minimum for their appearance, so change the routine and get ready.
13. Game night
Enjoy a family game night. It is a fun way to get the family together to have a good time with your mother.
Whether your mom prefers classic board games or something more modern like video games, it is fun for the whole family.
14. Gift
Order your mother a gift online and have it delivered. Some stores are also now offering curbside pickups so look into your mother’s favorite stores.
