Yes, it’s tough, especially if you have a mom in your life who you’d love to celebrate in person (and you don’t live in the same household). While some of us moms and daughters have been lucky enough to get our first vaccine, uncertainty and risk remain a constant as we enter our second year.

No matter where you are in the world, I have 8 creative ways to celebrate Mother’s Day during Covid:

1. Outdoor/Virtual Brunch

If you love to cook and live nearby, cook a delicious brunch for the two of you and deliver it to their door. Or support a local restaurant and have the food delivered directly to their door so you can eat and chat together via Zoom. Or, if the weather is nice and you live close enough to meet in a park, field or one of your gardens, treat yourself to a beautiful outdoor brunch, while respecting social distancing.

2. Create a family album as a tribute

Ask each member of your family to choose their favorite family photos, new and old, and write little notes explaining why they love your mother. It may be easier to gather digital copies of everything. Then, turn them into a small booklet, send them to the printer, and give them to your mother. She might just shed a tear at the thought of reading it.

3. Hello while driving

Go all out and decorate your car, add a huge “Happy Mother’s Day” or “I love you Mom” sign, and then drive by her house, honking your horn. When she comes out (and hopefully starts laughing), have a heart-to-heart and slip her any other gifts you managed to get her, all without leaving your car.8 Creative Ways to Celebrate Mother's Day During Covid | Sex 1723181662 810 8 Creative Ways to Celebrate Mothers Day During Covid

4. Guerrilla gardening

If you and your mom share a gardening interest and live close by, why not try a little guerrilla gardening? While your mom sleeps, plant some new flowers in her garden (or any other plants she might like) and slip a heartfelt card through her door or write a giant message on her driveway with chalk. She’ll have a wonderful morning waking up to such a thoughtful gesture.

5. A good old phone call

Sometimes, especially in the times we live in, phone calls are more focused and intimate than video calls. Maybe it’s because we, as a species, don’t talk on the phone without visuals as much as we used to. Especially if you live far away from your mom, pick up the phone and tell her you love her and can’t wait to hug her in real life.

6. Family game night

I know Zoom fatigue is real, but if your family is spread out all over the world, what better time is there to jump on a group call? They’ll feel special that you took the time to set it up. Once the initial conversation is over, why not turn it into a night in by playing a bunch of video games? virtual games? I guarantee there will be lots of laughs, because games are fun and life is absurd. Pictionary anyone?

7. Mother-daughter movie night

You don’t have to share the same couch or tissue box to watch Fried green tomatoes Or Beaches (or any other movie your mom loves). Plan a movie date with your mom: she picks the movie and you watch it at the same time, separately but together. You can keep her on the phone if you’re both the movie-talking type, or you can squeeze the movie in between phone calls. You can also Share your screen via Zoom and watch the movie that way.

8. Virtual cocktail

What better time to toast the woman who gave birth to you and raised you? Even if you’re doing it via video call, raise your glass high in honor of your mother. Plan ahead so you both have everything you need to make your favorite cocktails (if you live nearby, you can have your mom’s favorite wine or cocktail ingredients delivered ahead of time). Then, you know, just talk to your mother—the one who brought you into this world. Or play a drinking game. Or go out and knit and talk together. It all depends on the unique bond you share with your unique mother.
