Shop Amazon
It’s easy to hop on Amazon and find the best gifts for your mom. They even have shopping sections designated for this special woman in your life. Select a few of her favorite items and have them shipped home. Sure, you’ll be a few weeks late on the delivery, but it’s the thought that counts!
Send her some Mom-Inspired Paraphernalia
Nothing shows your mom how much she means to you than by sending her some mom-inspired gifts! One company that has some great options is Evil Queen. This candle company’s products are handmade in Los Angeles. They are also vegan-friendly, made with recycled jars, and are filled with sass! There is even an entire section of candles dedicated to Mother’s Day. Our favorite is the ‘Super Mom,’ which reads, “omg mom, you were right about everything.”
Top Up and Give her a Phone Call
It’s easy to forget to check in whilst traveling abroad. Oftentimes, we go for weeks without the occasional, “I’m alive,” message to keep your mom cool and collected while you embrace your inner wanderlust. This Mother’s Day, however, be sure to top up credit and give her a ring. This way, you can shoot your mom a call via Wi-Fi on Sunday, May 12. Catch up, tell her how much you miss her, promise to be more responsive even when you are abroad — she will appreciate it more than you know!
Create a Mother’s Day Photo Album
Keep your mom in the know by creating her a photo album! We know you have some great shots of your travels. Whether you own the most expensive DSLR or a cell phone, the destinations are sure to speak for themselves in a custom made photo album. Create one that she will cherish forever.
Give her a Special Shout-Out on Facebook
Compile photographs that portray the best memories you have with your mom and curate a shout-out like no other! She will appreciate the publish PSA more than you know. Of course, this means your mom has to have a Facebook page and know how to use it. If your mom is one of the rare, cool moms that do, be sure to give her a shout-out!
Recruit a Friend For Some Assistance
If you are struggling to access Wi-Fi in order to send your mom a gift while traveling abroad, recruit a friend from back home to help make your mom’s Mother’s Day the best it can be! Shoot them an IOU and get a friend to bring her to the movies or deliver her favorite meal from her favorite restaurant — whatever it is your mom loves, makes sure it happens this Sunday, May 12!
Want to be the child of the year? Fly home for Mother’s Day!
If you really want to make this Mother’s Day a holiday to remember, why not be spontaneous and book a flight home to surprise her? Yes, this is the most dramatic of endeavors to make your mom’s special day even more special, but it’s been done before. Be sure to coordinate with at least one person in order to pick you up from the airport to best implement the surprise!
