• Mother’s Day Playlist: Since you can not take mom out to a concert this year, the idea of making a playlist with mom’s favorite songs will definitely be appreciated. Put your efforts into it, and enjoy the playlist with the entire family.
  
  
• Homemade Arts and Crafts: Since kids are usually not allowed to bring art or crafts made in school to home, you can encourage them to make simple, yet meaningful art creations at home. Some ideas include paper pinwheel, caterpillar craft, pasta necklaces, painted flower pots, or a simple Mother’s Day card made with ink and paper.
  
  

• Flowers, Online Gifts, and Takeout: You still have adequate time to order fresh flowers or personal gifts online. Maybe a set of soft and stretchable leggings or comfy slippers will make her day shine. Additionally, if you’re planning to host a special brunch or dinner at home, you can order mama's favorite dish online to make her day even more special.

• Write a Letter: If you prefer the old school way, consider writing a letter. This is a great way to express all the meaningful things you did together with your mom. To make the letter even more natural, write down memories you have together and mention the most appreciable things about them. Present the handwritten letter to mom on Mother's Day!
  
  
• Put Together a Memory Keepsake: There has never been a better time to give her something made with your own hands. Sort through your digital archives, pick some of your favorite family photos, and put them together in a video slideshow or scrapbook as a gift. It's the effort that really counts!
