Virtual cooking sessions
Your mom could be someone that’s always cooking dinner for herself and the family. But, she might be getting a little tired of making the same old. So why not give her the gift of virtual cooking lessons so she can have plenty of dinner ideas? She might even use leftovers from the previous night and turn them into part of a creative dish that she can dream up herself.
Skillshare has everything he needs to learn a new dish, a new style of cooking, or even just brush up on his existing skills. With thousands of online classes taught by expert chefs, he can choose from a wide range of topics and techniques. From mastering the basics of knife skills to exploring global cuisine, Skillshare offers a variety of courses that will keep him engaged and inspired.
Online showcase of home videos
A ton of memories on video can be compiled together for mom to watch and reflect. It can be childhood birthdays, family vacations, and everything in between. The camera was invented for a reason – be it for pictures or videos. Documenting the special bond between a mother and her children will always be something worth doing.
When putting those pictures together into a kind of video compilation, it will be like a time machine. Nostalgia will come roaring back. It’s as if you all experienced these special moments yesterday. I like to use Canva to make a video presentation with background music and captions. It’s such a fun way to showcase the memories we have made as a family.
A virtual brunch or tea
What if mom is a long distance away and you can’t travel? It can be disheartening to not be there physically with her. However, the advent of digital technology can bring you closer together regardless of the miles. And what better way to leverage that than a virtual brunch or tea.
Both of you can enjoy brunch and tea snacks over Facetime or Zoom – whichever you both prefer. Catch up on what’s going on and make it an event to remember. It will be as if the two of you are sitting at the same table.
Put together a digital scrapbook
You may have all kinds of digital pictures on your computer. Or you may have old physical photos that you can scan and retouch. Put them all together and you’ll have a digital scrapbook of various family memories. It’s the same concept as the showcase of video examples we’ve mentioned earlier.
Compile these photos in a digital scrapbook that you can keep online. Whether it was a vacation to the Northeast or all the life events like birthdays and graduations, you have so many photos that can come together to tell a story that honors mom. A picture is worth a thousand words – but a digital scrapbook can become a story of a million words to speak of a remarkable woman.
Another great idea is to create a photo album with an Aura Carver digital frame. This modern take on the traditional photo album allows you to easily display all your pictures in a slideshow format, perfect for reliving those cherished memories with the family. One of the features I love about this product is you can invite others to share photos to be displayed on the frame.
Virtual game night
Remember that one night where you and the family come together to play a board game? Now you can do this in a virtual kind of style. The real question is, which virtual game could you and mom play (along with the rest of the family)?
If mom and your siblings are in opposite parts of the country or world, Zoom or Facetime will be useful. It can be trivia games, charades, or even virtual versions of classic board games. It’s possible to do it all with today’s latest technology.
Personalized eCards and digital messages
There is nothing quite like saying “I love you” to mom quite like a personalized eCard complete with a digital message. Best of all, you can do this with free Mother’s Day cards that are available online. While they are in digital form, they still hold the same sentiment as the physical cards you get in an envelope.
You can think of a meaningful message, choose a design mom loves, and send it her way. It takes one email to make sure she’s loved and appreciated on Mother’s Day of all days. Even better, it’s also one of the most environmentally conscious ways to celebrate since no paper is being used.
Virtual arts and crafts
This can be done if you two are in the same room or miles apart. You can follow along with countless arts and craft lessons on YouTube and all kinds of educational platforms. What can you, mom, and the rest of the family create together? That might depend on what you’re both in the mood for.
It can be paper mache models, painting, or something simple and easy to do. Whatever your creative minds can come up with, do it. It will be a memory that will last a lifetime (with a little reminder to go along with it).
A virtual planting session
Here’s how it works – you can plant a tree or a flower in honor of mom. She can watch the whole thing from start to finish. A tree or flower can last a long time. It’s a special gesture that will last years, even decades. As long as it’s well-taken care of consistently, it can last as long as possible.
If it were a tree, it would certainly be something that will become part of your landscape. It will grow for years and become stronger and resilient, just like the love for your mother.
