It is entirely a new task to search of activities and ideas for the Mother’s Day celebration. With only a few limited resources, we have Mother’s Day is around the corner. Mothers can be and mostly are difficult to shop for and always want you to do nothing for them and save that money for future use. There is no use for searching discounts on the perfume you thought to buy her as a gift maybe you have had enough money to buy expensive gifts for her but now that money will not work as Balenciaga will not deliver and Amazon will not have it

What can you do now?

Try these ideas listed below to celebrate this Mother’s Day in quarantine. Your mom will be happy thinking that you listened to her advice of not flushing huge amounts of money just for a gift. And when the situation returns back to normalcy, you can buy her a belated Mother’s Day gift such as mothers day cake, flower, printed mug and etc.

1.  Make and enjoy things

My first idea is to make fun crafts or art pieces together. If she loves to treat herself try making some organic skin care products for her and let her feel rejuvenated. You can make soaps and shampoos for her and yourself too if you are a mother too.  And it is a productive indoor activity as well. Who knows, after you discover your talent you might even stop going to stores to buy soaps and shampoos.

Here is how you can do it. In this process you will also get to know how can you scent those handmade organic soaps and it is beginner friendly

You will need:

• Rubber gloves to protect your hands
• Blender
• Heating equipment
• Spatula with a measuring cup attached or separate
• Mixing bowl
• Silicon freezing mold
• Knife to cut and shape the product
• Glycerin
• Caustic soda
• Water to emulsify the contents
• If you want to add colors to the product then you will need soap coloring

Mix glycerin, hand soap water and caustic soda together and heat it slowly and keep stirring with a spatula. Once melted, take it off from the flame and add 2 tbsp of hand soap and color according to your preference. Take the measuring cup and measure equal amounts of liquid to be put into the mold. Now freeze for more than 2 hours. Take the knife and cut it into the desired shapes. You can also add Epsom salt to give it a scrubbing element. There you have it, an organic soap for your mom. you can even pack it and decorate with ribbons tied.

2. DIY present

Don’t panic. It is not just about the beauty products that you have to give to your mom. Bring up some creativity and make something useful with the things you have available at your house. You can make her something for her office if she is a working professional. A pen holder will be a good idea. All you need is some color paper or newspaper and an old tall box of any shape. Cut the paper into broad rectangles and roll them up. Stick the end with adhesive. Make enough to cover the periphery of the chosen box. Now place one by one all the rolls and stick them with the box and together.  Tie a broad ribbon around it to finish off. You can also apply some glitter or stones.

If you don’t want to make a pen stand then you can make a pillow cover or wall hanging. Measure the pillow of your choice and then take the cloth of choice. Cut exact measured length and sew both pieces together. You can add whatever you want like making flowers from thread or patchwork. It is completely customizable. You can also bake a cake for her and pluck some flowers from the garden to make her day fresh as the flowers

3. Throw a game party with your family.

Truth or false and dumb charades are one of the best and most popular games that help you create engagement with your audience. Set up a small table to spin a bottle and ask everyone to sit around and play until you feel you have completely revealed yourself. You can also play cards and have your favorite drinks along the way.

 4. Video message

Grab your phone and record a message for your mom. Tell her about how beautiful she is and how much she has done these years. To make it more heart touching, ask all of your family like dad siblings or maybe relatives who cannot reach in this quarantine. Ask everyone to record a personalized message for her and you can make a compilation of all the messages by using free online resources.

5.Host a who knows me better game

Prepare a few not much known questions about your mom and ask her to write answers to those on different paper sets. Host a game where you ask everyone some of the facts about mom and enjoy. You can also set up a prize for winner or a dare for the loser in the game. It is one of my favorite games to play when we have nothing to do.

6. Organize a contest for new or mothers to be

I this you have to take the work of FaceTime everyone in your relatives who are new mothers or are going to be mothers. Ask them to share their experiences and stories .and let everyone feel happy. You can also ask dads like this to tell funny things about mom she did when she first knew that she was going to be a mother. This way everyone will get to spend some time in a family setting while enjoying their funny and hilarious acts. Also, you don’t need to put in a lot of work to make this work.

7. ask her to teach something

There is always a recipe that you love of your mother’s or a new trick to knit.  It can be how she paints such scenic views or if she loves to read, ask her entrepreneur self to tell you about her favorite book. Maybe you can learn a new story or something that she has to tell you to have a better motherhood or fatherhood. Mom always have great things and experiences to teach and share with us irrespective of what is the need of the hour! Listen to her this time. Make her feel valued and worth all the hardships

8.sing for her

Use those singing skills of your out and loud rather than while taking a shower. Dedicate one of her favorite songs to her or a song that reminds you of her and see how easily this lovely human gets emotional. You can write a poem for her or read an existing one that suits her role in your life. You can be creative by involving all the times she has scolded you for doing something stupid to give her some beautiful laughs.

9. draw my life.

Get a whiteboard and a marker and ask your mom to draw her life while explaining it. You can record the story and send it to everyone in your family. You can give separate white boards and markers to everyone and make it a burning question round where they have only 5 seconds to draw something that reminds them of mom. Ask different question and let your mom judge the best answer. And whenever you feel alone or she is not happy with you just watch the video and become aware of the fact that mom loves you!

10. Collage

Collect all the best photos of her(although she looks beautiful in each one) and make a storyline out of it. Stating from her first picture when she got married to the picture of the day when she has you all grown up. You can print these photos in a single color to make it look like monochrome effect . If you want, you can get it framed or simply make boundaries by using stick and dried leaves . Hang it in her room as a gift on this Mother’s day
