Mother’s Day is often spent celebrating with family over a lavish brunch or dinner, or maybe Mom prefers a little ‘me-time’ at the salon or spa. Whatever Mother’s Day has been like for you and your family in the past, this year is undoubtedly going to be different. There are no restaurants open to have an enjoyable sit-down meal with your loved ones, and no spas open for a facial or massage, but Mom still deserves a little something special to give her a break from this quarantine life we’re all living.
The Stay-At-Home Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Whether you’re looking for gift recommendations for the Mothers in your life or for yourself — because there is nothing wrong about treating yourself for this holiday — here are a couple ideas for a beautiful and memorable Stay-At-Home Mother’s Day.
Create a DIY Spa Day
Fill up a bubble bath, light a candle, pour a glass of champagne, and let all your worries go. Post-bath, it’s time for a facial, manicure and pedicure. Here are a few must-have items to make this at-home spa day as relaxing and invigorating as possible:
- Start the day with a little meditation and yoga. Using a Matrix Mat can help improve your at-home practice, whether you’re just starting out or have been practicing yoga for years. The gridlines on the mat assist with alignment, the 4 mirror quadrants help with symmetry, and the numbered coordinates increase awareness. There are three different mat materials, and they come in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns. Get free shipping with the code TBB442.
- Fill the tub with Chakra Balancing Bath Bombs or Bath Salts sold on NY Bulk Market, an online farmer’s market that sells handcrafted, sustainable products made by small businesses in the U.S. with real ingredients you know and can pronounce. Shop and save 20% with the code THANKSBABE.
- Candles can help set the mood. You might only think of jewelry when you hear Kendra Scott, but you should check out the beautiful candles too. They are made with a premium soy wax blend, and come in a variety of scents. Obviously check out the jewelry once you’re there too. Click here to shop and get 20% off.

Host Brunch At Home
And you can even invite friends and family! Coming together for a virtual meal is a great way to still get to see each other while maintaining social distancing. Prepare a menu for your family or order from a local restaurant that is offering Mother’s Day specials). Get dressed up and set the table — including your laptops or phones so you can easily use Zoom or FaceTime to see everyone you’ve invited to brunch. Here are a few ideas to help you plan the perfect Mother’s Day Brunch at home:
