What To Buy For Mother’s Day 2020: An Affordable Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is fast approaching. And many of us are left scratching our heads because let’s face it: Mother’s Day 2020 will be different from previous years. Social distancing and stay at home orders are greatly reducing the number of ways we can celebrate the matriarch in our life. No, this year many of us can’t book our moms a reservation at their favorite restaurant. We also can’t book a trip and jet off to that country they’ve been wanting to visit. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you find creative ways to celebrate. Scroll down to discover what to buy for Mother’s Day 2020.

House Plants
Okay, we know what you’re thinking. Mother’s Day is practically synonymous with flowers. But if you ask us, house plants deserve a little more love. At least in the gift-giving arena, they do. This is because they make great presents.
While flowers will always have a special place in our hearts, house plants last longer. They also give us clean and healthy air in return. Do your research online to find the right plant for the mother in your life. Take into account whether she has a green thumb, as certain house plants require more attention and skill to maintain than others. Just like when picking flowers, you should consider what type of plant best suits her personality. Maybe it’s a spiky and unique cactus or a tropical and attention-grabbing Monstera.
When it’s time to make a purchase, you can abide by the stay at home measures by ordering your plants from a shop online. Here are some popular retailers to choose from:

The Sill
Bloomscape
Urban Stems

You can also check in with your local plant nurseries to see whether they offer online orders or have a delivery service available.
When the plant arrives, try adding a personal touch by painting the plant’s pot with some of your mom’s favorite colors. Or inscribe a message somewhere on the pot for her to find.

A Dessert Bar
This idea is perfect for moms with a sweet tooth. Essentially, you’ll be dedicating a section of your home to spreading out some of your mother’s favorite treats.
You can do this by setting and dressing up a folding table in an easily accessible spot in your home. Add charm and elegance to the bar with a tablecloth, a few potted plants (or flowers), and fun serving platters. If you don’t have enough room for a folding table, then designate space on the kitchen table or counter for the dessert bar.
Next, make a list of the sweet treats mom enjoys. Is she a candy eater or are baked goods more her thing?
After ordering or baking her treats, it’s time to arrange them on the bar. Bonus points are given to dessert bars offering wine and cocktails.
