How to Celebrate Mother’s Day From a Distance

Send the perfect gift

Send your mom something special this year. With Perpay, you can shop her favorite products and brands, and pay over time with small payments. To make shopping for Mother’s Day even easier, we created an extensive gift guides to help you find the perfect gift! Check it out here.

Give the gift of groceries

Groceries or even small errands can feel like a big task today. If your parents fall into a high-risk category, and you’re comfortable going out, offer to go to the grocery store or spend the day running errands (safely) for your Mom!

If you’d prefer to treat your Mom from the comfort and safety of your home, enlist help from apps like Instacart, TaskRabbit or FreshDirect for help. You can also now shop bulk home essentials at Perpay!

Schedule some one on one time

With apps like Zoom, Google Hangouts, Houseparty, and Facetime, there are plenty of ways to spend some quality time together - virtually. If you want to step it up a notch, surprise her with a Facebook Portal device or Amazon Echo Show to make virtual hangouts even easier.

Make a video

Make a video montage of you and your siblings sharing messages of love and gratitude for Mom. Get grandchildren or other family members involved too! 

Send her favorite meal

If one of her go-to local restaurants is offering delivery, surprise her with a special full-course meal. It will be a great break from cooking and doing dishes.

Surprise her in person

If you live nearby, drive-by her house with a sign and balloons! You can even bring lawn chairs and set up chairs 6+ feet apart from each other to catch up and enjoy some time together.
