Have a Charcuterie Board Delivered

 

Mother’s Day is a chance to show the special women in your life how much they mean to you. What better way to do that than with a home-delivered and locally-sourced charcuterie board?

 

Moms love the finer things in life. This quarantine, spoil her with a beautiful platter of assorted meats, spreads and cheeses from a local Edmonton business!

 

 

The Italian Centre is offering complimentary grocery delivery during these challenging times. Their drivers will contact you upon arrival with your order and wait a safe social distancing space away to ensure you’ve picked it up!

 

With some of the finest cuts of meat, a fresh bakery, and a plethora of cheeses and assorted spreads to choose from, the Italian Centre is a great option to make the perfect charcuterie board your mom will love!

 

Order a Beautiful Garden Package

 

Spring has sprung and that means its almost time for gardening season! Why not help her get an early start on her garden this Mother’s Day? Kuhlmann’s has been a trusted family-owned and operated greenhouse in Edmonton since 1962.

 

 

In addition to amazing custom built flower arrangements, Kuhlmann’s carries a wide variety of soils and seeds.

 

Their knowledgable team can walk you through their selection so you can choose the best options to help her garden thrive this summer.

 

Kuhlmann’s is now offering curbside pick-up! Simply send them an email with the products you wish to purchase.

 

When your order is complete, they will make arrangements for payment and set a pick-up time. Wow her with garden supplies all without ever having to leave the house.

 

Surprise Her With a Freshly Detailed Car

 

Now more than ever, having a clean and properly sanitized vehicle is important. This Mother’s Day, our detail team wants to help you surprise the amazing mothers in your life with a sparkling and freshly cleaned vehicle.

 

We’ve made the process as easy as possible. Simply book an appointment online and use our low contact drop-off and pick-up options.

You can book and pay for it online. No contact necessary. Our detail technicians pay special attention to the high-traffic zones in your vehicle and use only the highest level of cleaning solvents available! This Mother’s Day, wow her with a vehicle that looks and feels brand new.

 

Throw Her a Suprise Yard Party

 

While social distancing regulations discourage parties or large gatherings of people, there are unique ways to celebrate the special people in your life from afar.

 

This Mother’s Day, think outside the box and decorate the windows in your home with messages of love.

 

 

If you have younger children, preparing the signs and decorations is another activity you can do while indoors. Have the kids decorate and write their favourite things down about their mom. Once she’s gone to sleep, decorate the windows with your artwork.

 

When she wakes up, host a home-made brunch and yard party. When she sees the heartfelt messages across the windows of your home, she’s sure to feel all the love she deserves!

 

Book Her an Appointment at the Home Spa

 

With hair, nail and many of her favourite beauty salons closed, her need to feel pampered has never been higher.

 

While booking an appointment isn’t possible right now, that doesn’t mean you can’t treat her to a little pampering: quarantine style!

 

Create a Menu Board with different pampering options she can choose for her Mother’s Day appointment.

 

You can include everything from a foot soak-and-rub to a shoulder-and-neck massage. Or, run her a bath fully outfitted with Epsom salts, bubbles, and candles.

 

 

Any good spa also offers a variety of fresh snacks and cocktails to enjoy. Pour her a morning mimosa while her feet soak.

 

Follow her bath up with an assortment of fruits, nuts, and chocolate (of course). Be sure to include a robe and some slippers to guarantee the full-spa effect.

 

Order a Mother’s Celebration Box

 

Want to shower your mom with love and feel good about supporting local Edmonton artisans and businesses? Order her a Mother’s Celebration Box from The Makers Keep, a marketplace that highlights local vendors and handmade products.

 

 

Filled with incredible local goodies, the Mother’s Celebration Box promises to make Mother’s Day gift-giving simple AND affordable. Order online and have it delivered.

 

She’ll love the beautiful and uniquely crafted items and you’ll love the feeling you get supporting locally-owned businesses.

 

Host a Special Parade

 

You might have seen a few social distancing birthday parades across your Facebook this past month. Why not adopt the idea for Mother’s Day?

 

It’s a great way to get the family together safely and shower the special ladies in your life with the attention they deserve.

 

 

If your family lives close together, organize a route outside her house. Select a meet-up spot and have the vehicles line-up at an agreed-upon time.

 

Hang signs from the window showering her with love. Add a few balloons in the mix and a whole lot of honks and you’re sure to make her smile!

 

Order in Dinner From Her Favourite Local Spot

 

While most restaurants have closed their doors in order to stop the spread of Coronavirus and adhere to safe social distancing guidelines, many continue to offer your favourite meals via delivery.
