1. Honor Mom with Beautiful Things

Put together a gift hamper full of beautiful things for Mom on Mother’s Day. These could include a pretty coffee mug, a pair of lovely earrings, a handstitched purse, etc. It should look beautiful to the eyes. It could even be a recipe book with enticing pictures or a book written by one of her favorite authors. Throw in a beautifully framed snapshot of yours or the family, which she will absolutely love. Even a handcrafted small diary with an inscription on the flyleaf which says ‘I love you, Mom’ ‘or ‘Thank you for everything, Mom’.

2. Honor Mom with Loving Words 

Some people send Mother’s Day cards. For a change, express your feelings about her through carefully chosen words that convey how much she means to you. This will please her no end. It will also cheer her up and give her strength during these difficult times. You could convey this message to her via Skype, Facetime, Snapchat, etc. 
You could also add to the basket any of these things mentioned below:

1) A playlist of her favorite songs 
2) A video featuring you and your siblings.
3) A tape that has calming music to make her feel calm.
3. Honor Mom with Calming or Energizing Scents

Is your Mom feeling anxious during the quarantine? Or is she the bold type who does not fear anything and is quite active? Depending on the kind of person your mother is and how she is dealing with the current situation, give her scents to calm her down or scents that will boost her energy.

Smells can trigger emotions, so factor in this aspect while thinking of ways to honor your Mom. Apart from flowers, go for more creative options like aromatic candles, scented bubble baths, her favorite perfume, perfumed soap, essential oils, shower gel, scented Epsom salts, or sweet-smelling body lotion.

Scents can evoke pleasant memories. For example, a candle might make your Mom recall a special dinner or an intimate moment. Cinnamon essential oil might be evocative of the delicious cinnamon rolls she used to make for her kids. Chamomile might remind her of the chamomile tea she made for a friend. Whichever the scent you choose, don’t forget to mention a few words about that memory.

4. Honor Mom with her Favorite Foods 

Gifts of food have the power to express love, so this can be one way to honor Mom.Make one of her favorite foods. Let it be something that brings back childhood memories, perhaps something she made regularly. This will remind her of many wonderful moments spent with family. Alternatively, arrange to have a home-cooked meal to be dropped off at her doorstep.

5. Honor her with Virtual Hugs and Kisses

The pandemic lockdown has separated family members from each other. It is the aged people who are most at risk. Hence they are being isolated for their own good. This means no more hugs, kisses, or even a casual touch. But a little creativity might help in this situation.

If you cannot hug your Mom in person, try sending her some virtual hugs. We have seen many pictures on Facebook and Instagram of people standing on the sidewalk, outside the windows of their parents’ homes, and displaying signs saying, “I love you’ and ‘I am here for you.’

Add a stuffed teddy bear to the gift basket if you wish. It can stand in for a loved one. Also, tie a note on a ribbon around the bear’s neck with the words: “A hug from me!”
You could also set up a Zoom call along with all the family members. This could include a lot of virtual hugs and kisses.

6. Honor her with some spiritual treats

Is your Mom the spiritual type? Most Moms tend to be spiritual, which is about being loving, compassionate, and God-fearing. Treating her to an online spiritual service might be a good idea. For instance, you could have a virtual Fire Lab or Homa performed for her health and longevity in these trying times. Or you could have a priest chant mantras for her well-being. If she is concerned about her health and future, you could even book an online astrology consultation with a good astrologer.
