3 Share Pics On a Digital Photo Frame

Its coolest feature is remote sharing, so you can surprise her with new photos — anytime, anywhere! — by sending them straight from the Aura app on your smartphone. “With this Aura picture frame, I can upload photos while I’m away so she can see what we’re up to and feel included,” wrote one reviewer who purchased it for her mother.

4 Plan a Dinner Date

Serve up some much-needed quality time during quarantine. Give your mom a gift card to her favorite local restaurant, or send her one from Grubhub so she can choose what she’s in the mood for come Sunday. Then, schedule some time when you can both sit down and enjoy a Mother’s Day dinner over a video call. While you may not be at the same table, the conversation will be just as good.
