DIY Skincare:

Bring the spa home for mom this year with these simple (and pantry friendly) DIY skincare recipes. With instructions to create hydrating face masks, exfoliating scrubs, rich and nourishing creams, and more, mom is sure to be glowing for the next week.

Breakfast in Bed Recipes: 

From French toast smothered in berries to a healthy(ish) spinach eggs benedict – start mom’s morning with a cup of coffee and a full stomach from any of these delicious breakfast recipes. Just be sure to handle the cleanup too!

Recreate One of Her Favorite Photos:

Find an old photo and recreate it as best as you can! Whether you recreate her favorite picture of you as a kid or even a younger photo of her, she will be sure to love the nostalgic gesture.

Take her to a Museum

We don’t mean breaking the shelter-in-place arrangements of course! Several California museums are offering virtual tours so you can enjoy the sights and cultural enrichment from the safety of your couches. You can even take it up a notch and visit other museums around the globe!

Make Her a Playlist

Not all moms are tech savvy, but even techies love a little personal touch now and then. Nothing says you know them more than knowing their favorite artists and songs, and taking the time to put them together gives that extra unique touch.

Make an Old-Fashioned Greeting Card

If you have your mom at home, or they live nearby, you can create a Mother’s Day greeting card to give to her. In our digital age, it’s pretty easy to forget the impact of handcrafted little tokens like greeting cards or even letters. But there’s something about receiving something you know was painstakingly created with love. Check out a few handy ideas here.

“Drop by”

If you live in the same area, you can go “visit” mom ala-“Love Actually”. Create a few signs you can display as you stand on their sidewalk. If they’re within speaking distance you can talk to them through the window, or call them over the phone to talk.
