With Mother’s Day approaching, many families choose to spend the day out celebrating mom. Others enjoy staying at home or are stuck inside due to circumstances. Just because you’re staying in doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate your mom’s special day in style.
Make a new Mother’s Day tradition and try out a virtual Airbnb experience or stick with a tried-and-true favorite like a backyard picnic or breakfast in bed. While it can seem challenging to celebrate a fun and meaningful Mother’s Day at home, there are multiple easy ways to make your mom feel special.
Check out 4 of the best unique ideas to celebrate this Mother’s Day at home.
1. Serve Breakfast in Bed
Surprising your mom with a delicious breakfast or brunch in bed is the perfect way to make a home celebration special.
Spread beautiful linen across a tray, use your good china and add lovely breakfast details like crispy bagels, sweet cinnamon rolls, cream cheese, jam, or other foods that your mom will enjoy.
Just make sure that your mom doesn’t have to do any cooking or cleaning up. If you don’t have time in the morning, consider meal prepping the night before. If you’re not comfortable in the kitchen, consider buying a tasty, hot, prepared breakfast or send a classic treat like chocolate-dipped strawberries.
2. Throw a Tea Party
Since Mother’s Day occurs in spring, you’re likely to have good weather for the holiday. Set up a tea party indoors or head outside with either a pot of hot tea or a pitcher of iced tea to enjoy the sunny day.
You can make layer cucumbers and spread butter on white bread sliced into triangles to make some simple tea sandwiches. Consider adding tasty truffles, cookies, or chocolates. Add a garden party touch by laying several fresh flowers along a plate with different kinds of tea and a bowl full of sugar cubes. A tea party is sure to make your mom feel fancy and special.
3. Take a Virtual Trip
Can’t book a trip for Mother’s Day? Visit somewhere new with your mom without even leaving the house. Currently, Airbnb offers all types of virtual experiences that you can buy for your mom and experience with her.
For example, enjoy a family baking session, a peaceful meditation retreat with a Japanese Buddhist monk, throw a sangria party, learn origami together, visit Pompeii, tour the Taj Mahal with a professional guide, immerse yourself in the streets of Barcelona, or create a portrait of your pet, and many more fun art and culture options available at the click of a button.
4. Have a Backyard Picnic
If you have a nice backyard, put it to good use as a backdrop for a classic picnic. Make it extra special by spreading out a picnic blanket, car blanket, or even a pool towel, make or buy a beautiful charcuterie or cheese board, and grab a nice bottle of wine before you head outside.
If a cookout is more your style, then fire up the grill, throw on some sausages or burgers, and have a sunny backyard meal with your mom.
Final Thoughts
This list of easy ways to celebrate a meaningful Mother’s Day is a good place to start. You can also cook a meal together, go over old family memories, make a craft, have a movie night, or do a wine tasting.
