Clever Mother's Day gifts 2020

Let’s face it, Mother’s Day Gifts are likely all going to be getting sent this year due to the global lockdown of 2020.

The good news is that pretty much anything can get quickly shipped these days, and thanks to the internet, you can get creative with Mother’s Day Gifts as well! For me, since I’m stuck in Barcelona and my mom is in Florida, and I know she wanted to visit me here, I sent her an Amazon package to help lift her spirits, and also the digital painting!

Whichever gift you choose to send, be sure to do it soon in case there’s shipping delays due to the pandemic!

Create a Travel PhotoBook

mothers day gifts 2020

My mom is obsessed with photobooks! They’re the new-age, easier to make photo albums that can easily be created online and shipped straight to her!

I made one once using MixBook and it came out phenomenally! My favorite feature was being able to pull the photos right from Instagram! Use code: GIFTSM for 40% off by 4/29!

Have a Mother Daughter Travel “Painting” Made

mothers day gifts 2020

This is a truly unique gift that I discovered when one of my Instagram followers in India sent me a digital copy of a travel painting he made of me! He “paints” them on the computer using an actual photo that you send him, and he can do them in one day, then all you have to do is send it to your local printer, and either have it shipped to your mom, or pick it up and take it to her! See some samples here!

To get yours personally made email Akash at familyportraitbyakash@gmail.com

TO PRINT AND SHIP: I used VistaPrint just now and got an 18″x24″ matte poster of the piece above for about $10 plus $8 for rush delivery but you need to order ASAP to get it to your mom by May 5!

PRO-TIP: Don’t have a good family photo? Haven’t traveled to your dream destination with mom yet? You can send him any photo to customize the painting!

Send an Amazon Surprise Box of Mother’s Day Gifts

When my mom started sounding like she was struggling being at home all day every day, I had the idea to cheer her up with a box of random goodies from Amazon! This is a genius idea for all of you last minute gift givers, since Amazon can deliver next day!

Here’s what I got here (not even joking, I sent her a unicorn pool), almost every one is under $20!:

Treat her to a Meal via Delivery

Can’t take mom out to dinner or brunch because everything is closed during lockdown? Surprise her by ordering in! Support local businesses by using Uber Eats, Grub Hub, etc., or one of the many meal delivery services like Hello Fresh! Don’t forget to use Saucy to send some wine as well!

Bonus points if you set up a Zoom/FaceTime session so she can “have brunch with you”!

Send a Home Spa Kit

Can’t take mom to the spa? Order her a few token items from Amazon, then write her a cute DIY spa menu checklist (tip: use cute templates from Canva!) complete with how to set a spa playlist and make cucumber infused water!

Here’s a few affordable spa items you can order from Amazon:

Virtual Mother’s Day Gifts: Vacation Video

Have video footage from past trips or outings together with your mom? Easily edit them together for a mother’s day gift that’s sure to leave her heart full for days on end!

You can EASILY edit video clips with the GoPro Quik app for a longer video, OR simply use Canva to make a Mother’s Day card using their video templates!

Write Her a Memory Story

Remember that time you and your mom took a trip together? Now is a great time to write it out and send it to her! Be sure to emphasize how much you loved spending time with her, and how much fun you had together!

If you don’t have time to mail a handwritten letter, I’d suggest using Canva again, where you can also insert photos from the trip if you have them!

Book a Future Trip Together

Our next trip together will be my Mother Daughter Retreat in Bali!

Despite the fact that we don’t actually know when we’ll be able to travel again in 2020, the other fact remains that airlines and hotels are offering INCREDIBLE deals right now for future trips! I even saw one special in the Maldives offering half price on your reservation..for ANY date in the future!

Just going to casually throw it out there that I also have spots available on my Bali Mother Daughter retreat! Shoot me an email if you’re interested or send a DM to @MyLifesATravelTRIBE 😉

Let's face it, most of us are going to be sending our Mother's Day Gifts this year due to lockdowns. Luckily thanks to the internet, there's tons of unique gifts you can send that are better than the typical flower bouquet! Check out my list of 8 clever Mother's Day Gifts to send during lockdown in 2020! My favorites are the succulent plants, and digital painting!     #Mothersdaygifts #mothersday #mothersday2020 #uniquegifts

  • Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10!

That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! 

***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏)

If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things!
 
Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
  • I prefer the word “adventurous”. Would you do this? Read first for context!

This is the notorious “Devil’s Pool” at the top of Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe!

I will not tell you it’s not dangerous or that it’s safe, just that the locals have created a safe-as-possible experience here that allows you to swim in this pool due to the steep and wide lip of the falls.

So it’s not just a river that ends over the edge, it first goes in a deep pool, which would stop any large object, like a human, from going over the edge.

There are ropes involved and also someone is holding onto your foot when you’re at the edge… I’ll show that BTS next!

I’ve done this 3 times and it’s definitely a thrill! It’s also freezing and my main fear was the crocodiles and hippos that also live in the Zambezi River!

  • No salt, sharks, or crowds at this crystal clear "beach" in North Macedonia!

That's because it's a lake! Lake Ohrid is famous for European vacations and it's pretty affordable there as well!

This is probably the prettiest lake I've seen in Europe, and I've been to almost every European country!!

Would you go here??

  • Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy!

[Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!]

It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar!

The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass.

Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi..

Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it!

I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃

What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience??

Add Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia to your "affordable European water destinations", especially if you're not a fan of salt water and chaotic crowds! [Comment "Balkans" and I'll send the full itinerary!] You can reach it by renting a car, taking the bus, or booking a tour, and I've written out all the details, tips, and itinerary!

Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy! [Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!] It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar! The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass. Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi.. Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it! I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃 What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience?? --------------- For anyone new here, hi!
