Mother's Day 2020 - How to make your mom happy!

Ideas if you live in the same household

If you live with your mother, social distancing won't be a problem, and you can spend the whole day together. Think of a few things your mother enjoys and plan a day together with her favorite activities at home. Let your creativity run wild and think about how you can make your mother happy. A day could look like this: After surprising your mother with a delicious breakfast and some flowers in the morning, you do yoga together or take a short walk in the fresh air. Afterwards, you cook your mother's favorite meal together (for which you've obviously bought all the ingredients ;) ). In the afternoon, you can show off your sewing skills together and sew a beautiful face mask. You should get some nice fabrics in advance so your mother can choose her favorite pattern. You can find simple sewing instructions for the face mask under our Service section. With a delicious piece of cake from the bakery, you're sure to have lots of fun sewing!

For dinner, have something delicious delivered or pick up a meal from your favorite restaurant. This way, you don't have to cook anything yourself and you're also supporting local restaurants! Save the best for last: Surprise your mom with a wine tasting in the evening. Just get a few bottles of wine and some snacks. Then, taste the wines together and choose your favorite. You can end the evening together with a glass or two of your favorite wine. While you're at it, you can also look back at old pictures or watch a good movie.

Ideas if the mother lives elsewhere and you are not allowed to visit her

If you no longer live with your mother, it can be a little more difficult to plan a nice Mother's Day for her. But it's not impossible. While hugs are unfortunately out of the question this year, there are still many great ideas to make your mother happy – even while maintaining social distancing! You can easily maintain this distance by leaving a small gift on her doorstep. Then you can convey your congratulations in person, for example, when she's looking out the window. Or you can ring the bell and then step a little further away from the front door so you can chat with her briefly at a safe distance. She'll certainly be delighted with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which you can order in advance from a local florist and then leave on her doorstep. A homemade cake, for example, or a beautiful, hand-made card with loving words for her would be a perfect accompaniment. If you want to let your creativity run a little further and impress your mother with your amazing sewing skills, a homemade mask is also a wonderful idea as a small thank you for your mother. Simply buy a nice fabric and follow the sewing instructions. Your mom will surely be delighted with this practical gift and can then proudly wear your mask while shopping.

If you can't drive to your mother's house to bring her a small thank you for Mother's Day due to distance, consider calling her via video chat. This way, you can see each other and talk. You can also write your mother a letter and send it by mail. Don't you think it would be a wonderful surprise for your mother to find a handwritten note in her mailbox telling her why she's the best? But you can send more than just letters. Many small shops now also offer delivery services. You can also order your mother a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which the florist will then deliver on Mother's Day. Are flowers not enough for you? Then order a high-quality leather bag for women directly to your mother. When she opens the package, she's guaranteed to be surprised and delighted!

We hope we've given you some inspiration on how you can show your mom how much you care this Mother's Day. Because no matter how you make Mother's Day special for your mom, it definitely doesn't have to be canceled because of the coronavirus!

We wish you all, and especially the mothers, a wonderful Mother's Day on May 10th!
