With lockdown restrictions still in place, Mother’s Day is going to feel a bit different this year. But you know that, so let’s concentrate on what you can do to make the occasion feel just as special as any regular year, starting with ten giftable events and experiences. We’re talking virtual gin tastings, 1920s-inspired dance classes and floristry masterclasses.
Rococo Chocolates Virtual Tasting Experience
If it’s chocolate that floats your Mum’s boat then you won’t go far wrong with this Rococo masterclass. In it, she’ll get to sample some of the artisan brand’s most treasured varieties (from truffles to bars) and get any burning questions she has about the sweet stuff answered by an expert. A delicious way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Mother’s Day Deep Yin Sound Bath
And, relax. The last year has been a stressful time for Mums so this MD event is sure to go down a treat. Two yoga instructors will be leading participants through a series of poses and breathwork exercises to promote peace and stillness, helped by a soothing sound bath. Taking place on Sunday evening, it will leave her refreshed for the week ahead.
Mother’s Day Virtual Afternoon Tea & Talk Special
What better way to show your appreciation than by treating Mum to an afternoon of tea and treats, where she’ll be welcomed into a circle of women to share, connect with and laugh. But not only that: this afternoon session also includes business wisdom, spoken word and a masterclass in essential oils.
Mother’s (Day) Ruin – Virtual Gin Tasting
Treat your mum to a Virtual Gin Tasting experience with Shakespeare Distillery on Mother’s Day. The event is designed to create a relaxed learning environment with expert guides leading an interactive tasting session of three gins (sent out prior to the event), as well as a behind-the-scenes tour of their Stratford-Upon-Avon distillery. Chin-chin.
Mother’s Day Needle Felt Workshop
If your Mum is a dab hand with crafts then she’s bound to enjoy this workshop led by The Wee Art Studio. From materials posted out ahead of time, participants will be taught how to design and create some Easter-ready felt decorations from scratch. The class is suitable for ages 8+ so why not get the whole family involved.
Mothers Day Charleston Dance Workshop for Beginners
Could we be about to enjoy another Roaring Twenties? Who knows, but why not give Mum a chance to perfect her Charleston just in case. This is a beginner’s level class, designed to help participants loosen up and have fun, and all you need is a bit of space and a decent internet connection to take part.
Mother’s Day Nigerian Cookery Class with Stella
Migrateful provide a platform for migrant cooks to share their foodie roots with the wider public. At this Mother’s Day-themed session, Nigerian chef Stella will be sharing her recipes for Nigerian Fried Rice, Garnished Plantains, and Uzobah (a coconut custard dessert) and guiding those following along at home through every step of the process.
Luxury Aromatherapy Candle Making Masterclass
A candle makes a lovely Mother’s Day gift but a candle-making masterclass, in which she’ll get to learn how to make her own luxury candle from essential oils and a few basic ingredients, will truly light up her day. Gloriously Good’s instructors are wonderfully helpful and provide the ‘whys’ as well as the ‘hows’ – leaving attendees with enough knowledge to make their own candles going forward.
Mother’s Day Watercolour Painting Stream
Paintvine have coupled up with the Canned Wine Co. to put on a Mother’s Day event that is equal parts sketching and sipping – ideal for family members looking for a fun and mindful way to spend quality virtual time together. To get prepared, you can purchase all the materials you need beforehand from the Paintvine website.
Mother’s Day Floral Urn Workshop
Want to show your love and appreciation this Mother’s Day? Say it with a ticket to Rose & Rhubarb’s floristry workshop. Your Mum will be sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers and then shown how to artfully arrange them on the Sunday afternoon call. You can purchase the ‘Me and My Mum’ ticket to get in on the action.
