What to give your mom or wife for Mother's Day during the COVID-19 pandemic

While you can still probably shop online for a gift for your mom or wife, chances are you've probably already given her a pair of shoes, a bag, a blouse, a dress, a perfume, a juicer, baking tools, etc.

So, if you want this Mother's Day to be extra special, why not give her a non-material gift for a change?

Below are 10 non-material gift suggestions that you can give your mom this Mother's Day.

1) Do all the chores for the whole day

Let your mom relax and enjoy the whole day. Giving her a break from chores may not seem much, but surely it's something they would appreciate.

2) Cook something special for her

If your mom is the designated cook in your household, then it's your turn now to serve her something special. If you're not an expert cook yourself, enlist the help of your other family members and research a special recipe you can recreate.

3) DIY spa or give her a massage

Since the enhanced community quarantine has been extended and you can't bring your mom or wife to a spa, why not bring the spa to your home? There are plenty of DIY spa treatments you can do at home. Or, if she's not into spa treatments, perhaps a simple relaxing massage would do.

4) Doll her up

Put your makeup skills to good use this Mother's Day and doll up your mom. You can also do a vlog about you're her makeover and do a fun photo shoot afterwards.

5) Handwritten letters

Nowadays, it's rare to receive handwritten letters or cards. So surprise your mom or wife with a heartfelt message written by you.

6) A video greeting

If you're good at video editing, then this is the perfect gift you can give your mom or wife this Mother's Day. Compile video greetings from family and friends -include yourself, of course - and do a montage of her best photos and state what you appreciate most about her.

7) Recreate old family photos

After having lunch or dinner, gather the whole family in the living room and try to recreate your funniest and cutest childhood photos with your mom. This is guaranteed to bring lots of laughter and you'll also have nice photos to share on social media.

8) Virtual party

Since family and friends can't be physically present to celebrate Mother's Day with your family, why not set-up a virtual Mother's Day party for your mom? You can do this on video chat apps like Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, or Houseparty.

9) Movie marathon of her favorite movies

Ask your mom or wife for her top five or ten favorite movies a few days before Mother's Day. Get a copy of all these movies, so you can have a movie marathon with her and the whole family on her special day.

10) Have a videoke party at home

If you're mom or wife loves to sing, then let her sing her heart out on Mother's Day. Sing and dance along to her favorite songs, so you can have a videoke and dance party in one.

Impressing your mom or wife, and making her feel special and appreciated doesn't necessarily require fancy gifts. Always remember that the best things in life are free.
