Find the perfect Mother's Day gift despite the coronavirus:
These are unusual times—which means you have to stretch your mind beyond your usual way of thinking this year as holidays and special occasions come around. Now is an opportune time to get creative with what you might do for your mom on her special day.That is, if your mom already has a few of her own. Designer face masks have popped up recently, especially online, but try to avoid gifting pandemic-related items on mom’s special day.
And don’t forget about sending your gift with a purchasing strategy in mind—Mother’s Day delivery can get pricey. Always shop around to see what discounts retailers may be offering. Bouqs, another nationwide flower delivery service, is offering a 25% discount for healthcare workers and their immediate families.
For families that are separated during quarantine, a video call could be the answer to spending time together, even if it’s not in person. Since the pandemic began, multiple aspects of daily life have transitioned to online video meetings, like happy hours or workout sessions on Zoom or Google Hangouts.
Don’t forget to look for your favorite local or small business online. Just because they’ve had to close the doors of their physical store temporarily doesn’t mean they may not still be actively selling online. If you’d usually visit your local independent bookstore, get online to see if they ship directly, or search for them by name at IndieBound.org or Bookshop.org.
