E books – Reading is a great way that Mom can pass the time while staying in. Although you can’t make a quick trip to Barnes & Nobles, you can purchase E-books online by her favorite author. To make the gift even more meaningful, set up a small reading nook in your yard or on your porch with a comfy chair and pillows that you already have. This way, Mom can enjoy reading her new books in the fresh air and sunshine.

Handmade Arts + Crafts – Many Moms would rather receive a meaningful handmade gift opposed to an expensive one. Arts + crafts are great ways to get the kids involved. Luckily, Michael’s Craft Stores are open for curbside pick-up if you need supplies. Check out this list of handmade gifts you can make with the kids for Mom on the Saturday before the big day!

Wine – You can’t go wrong with Mom’s best friend, WINE! Liquor stores are deemed essential, so getting wine is an easy way to make Mom happy. Treat her to the best wine you can find, she deserves it!

Home Manicure Kit – Since you can’t take Mom to the salon on Mother’s Day, bring the salon to her. Take a trip to your local convenience store and grab nail polishes, a nail file, cuticle remover, nail polish remover, nail clippers, toe separators, and a nail lamp! You can find most of these items at Walgreens, Rite-Aid, or CVS.

Relaxed Clothes – Thank goodness for Target! Mom could surely use some more comfy clothes to lounge around the house in. After all, who wants to wear jeans inside the house? Target is open and has a variety of yoga pants, slippers, robes, sweaters, sweatpants, and more. Bonus tip: you can’t go wrong with black, the most slimming color to wear.
. - Quarantine Survival Kit – A practical gift might be just what the doctor ordered during these trying times. Grab a few necessary items- cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and a few of the ones listed above and put them together in a pretty basket or box titled, “Quarantine Survival Kit.” It will be a thoughtful gift that she will never forget and will put to good use!
