Maybe you are forced to live far away from her and cannot see her right now, or maybe you are just used to spending Mother's Day long distance and have found an alternative and fun way to make it unique anyway. The distance can sometimes be bridged and shortened by home gifts, dinner deliveries, and small experiences to enjoy together, even through the screen of a PC or cell phone, connected between the two homes.
Sharpening your wits and imagination, putting in a little effort, will make Mother's Day unique even from a distance. Find out our tips for doing it right now.
A classic: send her flowers
One of the ideas for Mother's Day at a distance is a great classic: say it with flowers. If we know our moms' tastes, all we have to do is open any online flower shop that does home delivery and shipping-FloraQueen, Flowers, ItalFlora, FaxiFlora, and Colvin-and in a few minutes we choose the bouquet or plant, and schedule the delivery. If, on the other hand, we are groping in the dark, we can always get advice directly from the florist in the city where mom lives, who will then take care of the delivery directly. One of the Mother's Day gifts that is a true evergreen.
Dinner and wine delivery for the evening together
If you just can't indulge in a real time together, sitting at a patio table, then date online (via phone or pc) as if you were really at a restaurant. Agree on the menu, which should be the same, not necessarily in the dishes but in the type of cuisine: Japanese, Thai, Greek, Mexican, seafood from your favorite place. That shared dinner is one of the ideas for Mother's Day at a distance.
The toast also has its importance. Wish each other a hug soon, and do it with the same wine. Your favorite bottle, be it champagne or a robust, intense red--to be paired with dinner, of course--must be uncorked together at the same time. Glasses should be filled during video calls, of the virtual party.
Among the most popular services are Winelivery and Tannico, which deliver wine throughout Italy (to be sure, check on the site or via app that your city is covered by the delivery service).
Organize remote experiences
Small moments of pleasure to spend together, beauty rituals, challenges in the kitchen, or an evening on the couch choosing a movie to watch on Netflix. Long-distance Mother's Day ideas include experiences to enjoy together, even if dozens of miles separate you. You can arrange time for just yourselves or, why not, even with a friend and her mom.
Moments of relaxation
A parenthesis of relaxation, after the hectic week between work and chores. Chat, a nice face mask and an herbal tea or a glass of wine. Set up your wellness corner, and invite mom to do it too, It can be the terrace, the garden, but also the corner of the house. Have her deliver a personalized bottle, a beauty experience box set, and share a rejuvenating spa moment with her from a distance.
TV series and movie night.
Pack your popcorn, order a pizza or sushi, and share a Netflix subscription. A movie night, or TV series (if you watch the same ones and are at the same point in the marathon!) then that's what you need.
Among the long-distance Mother's Day ideas, the movie night idea is undoubtedly appreciated. You can surprise mom by having her deliver a personalized mug with a picture of the two of you together or a blanket, to be fully in the mood.
Live from the kitchen for the cooking challenge
Share a passion for cooking but can't cook yourself a delicious meal? Virtual reunions are at it again. All it takes is a little organization, a cell phone holder, and a shared shopping list to schedule a mom-and-daughter cooking challenge and cook your favorite dish from a distance, to be enjoyed together once it's ready.
If you want to make an impression, consider sending her a recipe preparation kit, with a box containing all the ingredients, and, perhaps, even a personalized apron with a special phrase representing her.
Gardening session
Which one of you has the greenest green thumb? A mother-daughter gardening class might be an idea. Get together online in the garden, terrace or vegetable garden and take care of yourself and flowers and plants. You can simply decorate your available space, or go straight to planting fruits and vegetables. One of the long-distance Mother's Day ideas, perfect for this kind of green moment to share, is to have her deliver flowers for repotting, potting soil and a small gardening kit.
Like at the spa, but with mom from a distance
Why not engage in body care together? At least virtually. Long-distance Mother's Day ideas definitely include a few hours of spa time, just mom and daughter. Green light to homemade scrubs and all-natural face or hair masks.
A trip to plan together
Have you been planning a trip or weekend getaway for some time? Mother's Day is a good time to plan it together. Or, why not, to send mom tickets to the destination she wants to discover. If you are a family traveler, then take a moment to open apps, consult maps and guides, and plan your itinerary.
