5 Ways to Spoil Your Mom If You Can't Spend Mother's Day Together IRL

For many of us, Mother's Day 2020 is going to look a little different than past years. You probably won't be able to take your entire family out for brunch at the trendiest spot in town, or whisk Mom away for a weekend at a quaint bed-and-breakfast.

You may not even be able to see your mom in person — but that doesn't mean you have to postpone your Mother's Day celebration. With a little creativity, you can still shower all the mothers in your life with love and affection from afar. Here are five fun ways to show Mom how much you care, even if you can't be there IRL.

Do some research on the local restaurants offering delivery, then order a spread of all her favorite things to be delivered on Mother's Day morning. Go all out: She definitely deserves both the pancakes and eggs Benedict.

Ensure she has the tech she needs to make staying in touch seamless, like a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S20 5G. She'll love the revolutionary camera and easy-to-use interface. Looking back at your favorite photos together is another sweet way to celebrate — and get excited for the next time you can be together IRL!

Put together some of your favorite family photos in a sweet slideshow, then watch it over video chat together. If you have siblings, get them in on the project for even more fun.
