Mother’s Day is around the corner, and this year, celebrating the mother figures in our lives will feel a bit different. However, it has never been a perfect time to demonstrate to the people we love and care about how much they mean to us.
There are a number of ways you can be creative to still make Mom, Grandma or the caregiver in your life feel special and celebrated even with the social distancing going on here in Chi-Town and across the globe. Hubub has discovered unique ways to make the day festive, memorable and keep it light-hearted ranging from virtual dining to unwrapping gifts on FaceTime.
Here is hubub’s guide on celebrating Mother’s Day during social distancing.
Mother’s Day Brunch turned Tele-Brunch
You can simply turn the usual Mother’s Day Brunch to Tele-Brunch if that is what you tend to be missing out the most in this era of social distancing. Order your Mom or that special someone who is a mother figure in your life her favourite dish and get it delivered so that she can get to enjoy a cook-free day, and dine together virtually over FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. The great news is, some couple of restaurants in downtown have introduced special and amazing Mother’s Day deals to make it a memorable one. For instance, Beatrix has teamed up with Flowers for Dreams to include a flower bouquet for mom along with a special brunch which includes baked apple French toast, scrambled eggs, berry parfaits, brown sugar bacon, coffee, orange juice and more for two or four people. Aba, Café Ba-Ba-Reeba, Forks Prime Stake house, among others have also got Mother’s Day packages going on which can all be delivered at great prices. When ordering, don’t forget to include Champagne and Orange juice for customary Mother’s Day Mimosas.
Send Gifts and watch her Unwrap Them
Warm your Mother’s heart this Mother’s Day by sending her a collection of special gifts wrapped individually for her to open them while you watch her during a video call. Give it a festive spin and see how hard you can make her laugh with gag gifts.
Foxtrot Market has also got variety Mother’s Day gifts which you can pick from which includes themes like, Super Mom, Inner Peace and Self Care & Sweets. You can also choose to customise a gift by filling your own customised box with all the things mom adores.
Take A Virtual Class Together
Hop on FaceTime, Zoom or Skype with Mom and take a virtual class together on this year’s Mother’s Day. Get an activity she loves most from wine tasting class to painting to croissant making on YouTube. You’ll need to order for supplies in advance and get some delivered to Mom and others delivered to you. It will all be worth it at the end when you see that priceless smile on her face.
Order Mom’s Favourite Baked Treats Delivered to Her Doorstep
Make Mother’s Day sweeter and at the same time get to support local bakeries by ordering Mom’s favourite baked treats and get them delivered at her doorstep. Brown Sugar Bakery in town has got variety of cake sizes and flavors, including their classic caramel cake and other sumptuous baked goods for mom to enjoy from the comfort of her couch.
Have a Virtual Tea Party with the Entire Family
Mothers deserve something extra special this year. A virtual tea party can usually be a fun way for mothers including grandmothers to celebrate Mother’s Day with younger children and grandchildren. Mother’s do not take this lightly at all, so make it a memorable one for them! All generations, from older to younger can join in via Zoom, FaceTime and Skype and you can get young kids to gift their moms and grand moms special customised mugs, teacup set and a tea sampler. Kids can also make their Mom’s and Grand mom’s day by showing off their table manners and Sunday best.
Connecting to and celebrating our loved ones is most important than ever mostly during the social distancing still going on. Regardless of all that is going on, there’s still a way you make Mom feel extra special even if you can’t celebrate with her in person with hubub’s guide on celebrating Mother’s Day in 2020.
