This Mother’s Day will be like no other. For many of us, it will be a Mother’s Day without mum as we all self-isolate away from home.
Family lunch is replaced with FaceTime gatherings and outings restricted to a walk around the block. Even gift giving isn’t the same. In the absence of live event experiences for Mum this Mother’s Day, here are some ideas for you to create an experience while away from her.
1. Organise flowers to be delivered to her door
If you can’t bring flowers with you to brunch, why not organise a special bunch be delivered to her door. You can support local florists in your area as many are still trading with reduced business. A quick google search should give you some businesses to call. If you need help finding a florist that delivers Australia wide, try Lvly
2. Organise personalised treats
Everyone’s mum is special in their own way. Why not tell mum how sweet she is with some edible treats. You can organise cupcakes from your local cake shop, or maybe some personalised cookies. Daily Cookie Crew have beautiful cookies where you can personalise your own message or send mum a pack of 6 compliments. It’s a sweet way to tell mum how special she is.
3. Curate a Red Balloon Experience at home
Red Balloon have made it so easy to create the best at-home experience for Mum. While real world experiences are on hold, Mum can learn new skills, explore her artistic talents and enjoy online lessons while in isolation. They have cheese making kits, wine tasting, hampers and more. How perfect is that! Mum will definitely feel loved and appreciated.
4. Organise a little spa package
You may not be able to take mum to the spa this Mother’s Day, but why not organise a pamper box for her to treat herself at home. There are lots of online boutiques that have pre-made hampers, such as Pretty Little Gift Box. Otherwise, you can curate your own box with all her favourite beauty items. Look for a face treatment, bath salts, some candles, a book and her favourite wine or tea. A great way to treat mum from her own home.
5. Buy her tickets or gift vouchers to have an experience with her when normal life resumes
We may not be able to take mum out now, but we will eventually so why not make plans to share a special event with her when we are able to get out and about again. Visit the site and browse through a range of great events for future dates still on sale. Or you can purchase a Ticketek Gift Voucher so mum can pick what event she would like to attend in the future.
