A whole day doing whatever she loves without worrying about her daily chores. Take over the cooking and cleaning roles. You can even better divide them amongst your family members making it even more fun.

Make her breakfast in bed
Start her day off right by arriving at her door with a tray of hot tea, pancakes, parathas, eggs, or other breakfast favorites. If you can't be there in person, order her favorites from the local restaurant and have them hand-delivered as she awakes. Even amidst the pandemic, there are many restaurants that are following the safety protocol, so you don't have to worry.
Set Up a Picnic in Backyard
Outdoor activities let you and your mother spend quality time together while maintaining an appropriate distance. If mom has a spacious backyard, or you two have a favorite park, you can sit down on some blankets and serve her fresh fruit, salad, and other finger foods you can all enjoy together. You can even use the picnic as an opportunity to show off your food preparing skills, something that is sure to impress your momma.

Give her a foot Massage or a Mani-pedi
Your mom is probably in dire need of some good R&R. Although you may not be able to provide her with the entire spa treatment at home, you can cross a few items off her ever-expanding lists, such as mani-pedis or a foot massage. Watch a few YouTube tutorials to gain knowledge and let her sit back and rest while you do the job. Hand your mother that robe as you take her on a day of home spa relaxation. This obviously works better for daughters, but with a little research, everyone can do wonders.
Just be considerate
With all this time at home, some of us have really seen the wrong of our ways, our behaviour towards our family, and our attitudes. Take this time in as a blessing and change those parts of you that seem to create issues, obviously only the negative aspects. Be kinder and more considerate towards your parents, listen to them. So maybe this year, your gift won't be perfect, but the way you treat your mother, and the rest of your family, might be all you need to fix to make it a wonderful time.
You know your mother deserves more than you could ever even give her, but trying is a start. As long as you make her feel loved she will be happy with even the tiniest thing, cause her love is unconditional. Hence, these are some fun ideas for Quarantine Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers around the world. (ANI)
