This Mother’s Day, bridge the miles and shower Mom with love through these heartfelt long distance gifts that resonate with warmth and affection.

Keep reading (or Pin this post) for ways you can have a great Mother’s Day long distance.

Mother’s Day ideas for virtual celebrations
Tools like Zoom, Skype, and Google Hangouts help us feel more connected by offering face-to-face interactions in real time. Still, you may have exhausted all ideas to keep virtual visits interesting, which makes it high time to kick it up a notch. Here are a few ways you can bring a new spin to digital communication so that it feels totally different than a regular phone call or Facetime.

Vanilla Glace Gold and White Table Runner
Celebrate by enjoying a Mother’s Day brunch or dinner with Mom: prepare the same menus, set beautiful tables, and let the conversation—and wine—flow. Send Mom a new table runner, like this gold and white one, to create an elegant, inviting setting.

Global gifts for the mom who misses traveling
Maybe Mom had to postpone or cancel a trip she was really looking forward to for Mother’s Day. Send her a note of encouragement to remind her that she will get there someday.

Fair trade, handmade, and block printed, our designer collections take you on a journey to their sources of inspiration. The gift of Saffron Marigold makes for a unique, global gift indeed.
