Mother’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the superheroes in your family, especially this year. While you might not be able to get together in person for a hands-on spa day or decadent brunch for Mother’s Day 2021, you can still show Mom just how much she means to you with a special online experience that’s both safe and memorable.
Here are six creative virtual gifts for Mother’s Day 2021 in Canada.
Virtual flower arranging classes are a popular Mother’s Day gift idea for budding floral designers. During hands-on guided classes, floral fans will learn how to style their own beautiful arrangements using lush foliage and seasonal blooms. Search for a local florist in your neighbourhood offering virtual do-it-yourself classes or register for a floral design workshop with Bloom School and choose from a selection of on-demand video tutorials – topics cover tabletop arrangements, bridal bouquets, and even advanced hanging installation pieces.
If your mama is more into burpees than brunch, sign her up for a new fitness platform. It’s a great Mother’s Day virtual idea that will take her workout routine to the next level. From high-intensity cardio to strength training to low-impact yoga, you’ll find an online program to suit every type of skill level. Barreworks, Elle on Demand, and Peloton are just a few of the many at-home exercise platforms in Canada that offer monthly membership options for Moms who like to work up a sweat.
If Mom misses the thrill of international travel, send her on a virtual European getaway this Mother’s Day with Nonna Live, an immersive cooking experience hosted live from Italy by 84-year-old Nonna Nerina. Participants will learn how to make homemade pasta shapes and Nonna’s traditional family recipes like pesto gnocchi, carbonara, and fettuccine with ragù. Ingredient lists are provided ahead of time so that you can pick up all the necessary culinary supplies at your local supermarket.
