Fun Ideas for Celebrating Mom Together (Even From Afar)

Wherever you are, and whether you’re physically with mom or not, you can still find a way to make it a special day. Here are a few of the ways we’re celebrating.

Activities if You’re All at Home Together

The quality time together on Mother's Day can be a gift in itself. Family activities with mom can be a thoughtful way to show how much you appreciate her. Here are some activity ideas to make this year memorable.

Make a Scrap Book: Spend some time going through old memories and remembering great times together. This can be a great time to take some time to look back!

DIY Spa Treatment: Pamper your mom or the mother of your children with a little at-home rest and relaxation. The massages, mani-pedis, and facials may not be professional caliber, but what they lack in skill they make up for with love and care.

Board Game & Movie Night: Pull out Mom’s favorite board game for a little friendly family competition. When you’re done, turn the living room into a movie theater by putting a mattress or couch cushions on the floor, and all gather to watch a movie. You can rent and stream a movie or watch one of your favorites. Make a big bowl of popcorn, and if you ordered a Family Feast Value Meal deal, this would be a great time to eat those chocolate chip cookies.

How to Celebrate if Mom Has to Work

Your Mother’s Day celebration may be cut short or postponed if Mom has to work. Here are some ways to show mom you’re thinking of her while she’s working.

Make Breakfast in Bed Before She Goes: Let Mom sleep in a few extra minutes and bring her a delicious breakfast in bed.

Gift Her a Home Help Coupon Book She Can Redeem Anytime: Give Mom a coupon book for extra help around the house. Offer her times you can clean and cook to take a little work off her plate. Throw in a few cute ones for free hugs and jokes, and you’ll make her day.

Give Mom a Homemade Card & Lunch Delivery: Pair a homemade card with a note that lunch is taken care of. Order her favorites from Panera and use the delivery instructions to have it dropped off to her at work.

How to Celebrate Remotely if You Don’t Live with Mom

If you can’t be at home with Mom this year, there are still creative ways to celebrate together. Here are some activities to connect from afar.

Virtual Wine & Design: Get family together on a video conferencing call and get a virtual lesson on creating the same painting. Enjoy the shared project, and show off your artistry. Take a picture of you and your masterpiece and ship a framed photo to mom.

Family Call & Online Games: Set up an online call for your mom with family and friends for the gift of quality of time. Online tools offer games you can all play together to up the fun factor.

Send a Gift Basket: Make and ship a gift basket delivered with flowers, chocolate, and of course, a Panera Bread gift card so your mom can enjoy her favorites whenever she wants.
