Mother’s Day 2020: 6 Things to Do for Mother during Lockdown

Best things to do on mother's day

10 May would be celebrated as Mother’s Day 2020, a day dedicated to one of the most important individuals in our life. There’s hardly anyone who wouldn’t agree that ‘a mother is a God’s gift!’ Despite the fact that a mother deserves our love and respect every single day, Mother’s Day is the time when we can express our gratitude towards all the sacrifices she has made and all the love she has showered upon us. 

You might have celebrated Mother’s Day with great enthusiasm and special arrangements in the previous years. However, Mother’s Day 2020 also comes with unprecedented physical distancing that one can’t avoid due to the Coronavirus threat. (Lucky are those who share the same roof with their mothers!) On the other hand, this doesn’t at all mean that your ‘chance-to-show-gratitude’ is canceled. There are several ways through which you can celebrate Mother’s Day. Check out these six amazing things to do for Mother during lockdown!

For the mom who loves to travel

My mom has always taught me, ‘the more you travel, the more you grow, and the more you learn.’ Does your mom believe the same, encouraging you to discover all the experiences in the world? Well, then one of the best Mother’s day gifts you can give her is a travel book. Many travel books can take her to places even when she’s home. On the other hand, if ordering a book is not a possible choice for you during the lockdown, you can take her on a virtual tour! Some national parks around the world have organized virtual tours for people who love to travel and explore wildlife.

For the mom who loves her family

A mother’s love and emotional availability is the core strength of her family. A room surrounded by all family members is one of the best Mother’s Day presents you can offer. But how would you do that amidst self-quarantine? It’s simple! Arrange a Mother’s day special video conference call with her, along with all the family members singing and smiling for her. This is surely going to make this Mother’s Day memorable for her.

For the mom who cares a lot

Every mom does that! But if your mom is a little extra caring, she deserves a little extra pampering! Check if you can send her a lovely memory-filled greeting online with plenty of wishes and feelings. Ask your siblings and relatives to add their wishes to the greeting too. Collating her photographs and making a beautiful video out of it is also one of the interesting Mother’s Day ideas. 

For the artistic mom

Painting, knitting, or crochet – if your mom has an artistic side, it would be a great idea to make this Mother’ Day an artistic one. What you can do is to subscribe to any DIY activities online, download the videos, and send the same to your mom. It would be best if you engage in these DIY activities together and later show your creativity to each other. 

For the fitness-enthusiast mom

Whether she’s a fan of sweating after a kilometers-long jog or likes to perform several breathing exercises for a healthy mind, a fitness-oriented gift would just make fitness-loving mom happier than ever. Now, you could have gifted her a nice Yoga mat, a pair of sports shoes, or a fitness tracker, but with social distancing practiced everywhere, you can surely gift her a fitness subscription. Browse through hundreds of online fitness classes, diet plans, and meditation apps! Or how about taking a mother-daughter fitness challenge?

For the foodie mom

Remember how your mom loves to experiment with her taste and culinary skills? She must have been preparing a variety of recipes for you since long! So, make this Mother’s Day special for her by gifting her an online MasterClass with a Celebrity Chef or a monthly subscription of new recipes. Mother’s Day 2020 would be much more exciting if you try the same recipe and share your experiences!

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Mother’s Day 2020 can be really challenging! However, you can keep in mind that physical distance doesn’t matter when you’re emotionally close. redBus, the most trusted platform to book a bus ticket online, wishes you a Happy Mother’s Day, and hopes that you would never let the physical distance come your way to celebrate motherhood!
