Best Mother's Day Ideas in Isolation


By Sam Bowden

If you've been looking forward to spending time with mum for Mother's Day 2024, but isolation has gotten in the way of those plans, these unique gift experiences for mum in Sydney and all over Australia can be done without even needing to leave your home. While it might not be ideal being stuck at home, that doesn't mean you can't adapt and make the most of mum's special day!

With our range of live online classes and DIY craft kits you don't need to spend hours scrambling in the aisles of packed stores only to get more traditional gifts for mum that she probably doesn't need. Our craft kits can be delivered straight to your mum's home and the fun doesn't stop once she's finished opening them. In fact, that's when the best part begins! Your mum will be able to follow along with an online class or if she wishes to just give it a go on her own, she can make everything from a hanging Kokedama plant to a watercolour masterpiece to a whole set of new DIY soy candles for the home.

2024 is the perfect time to take your Mother's Day ideas from zero to hero and surprise the leading lady in your life with a unique virtual experience or DIY craft box that she'll never forget. Whether you're away from your family or you're stuck at home in isolation with them, there are plenty of fun things to do at home that also make for fantastic presents for mum.

If you're willing to get a little creative, there's no reason you can't make Mother's Day 2024 the most memorable moment of the past twelve months! Ready to show her just how much you care? It's time to make a little magic with our best Mother's Day quarantine ideas.

 

Plan a family painting class

Looking for live classes online that have that intimate studio feel? Our growing range of virtual arts and craft workshops allow you (and your mum) to learn painting from the comfort of your own living room. Using a combination of a fully interactive live stream, you can expand your artistic skillset without leaving the house (or compromising your health) and learn from some of the best artists and creative in Australia! Don't own an easel or a pair of paintbrushes? There's no need to worry –  we'll deliver a craft box containing all of the materials and resources you need to take part straight to your door.

If you're looking for gifts for Mum this Mother's Day, forget online shopping and opt for a unique at-home experience instead! Over the past few years, our paint and sip classes were among some of the most popular workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and beyond! Never been to a wine and painting night near you? Let's break it down! Over the course of a few hours, our experienced local artists guide their students (that's you!) through the techniques and tips required to create their very own masterpieces. To get those creative juices flowing, you can BYO wine and sip your way to artistic freedom.

Sound like the kind of thing your mum would love? Fortunately, thanks to our live online classes, Mum can create her very own masterpiece from home while enjoying a cheeky bottle of bubbly from the living room lounge, the kitchen bench or a sun-drenched spot on the balcony. When it comes to finding fun Mother's Day isolation activities, paint and sip classes are one of the most popular Mother's Day ideas on offer – and our live classes online are no exception! Why not gift Mum a bottle of her favourite wine, order a craft box, and encourage her to spend Mother's Day 2024 exploring her creative side?

But what if the family is stuck in the house together? There are plenty of fun things to do at home – and none of them include watching TV! Why not organise an online painting workshop for the whole family? Get creative with our portrait partner's workshop and learn to paint each individual member of your family – laughs guaranteed. Whatever you choose to paint, and wherever you choose to do it, you'll soon discover that our online classes make for a fantastic Mother's Day quarantine celebration.

Try candle making

As we mentioned above, your Mother's Day activities in 2024 will have to be restricted to what you can do in the house, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're that limited! No Mother's Day ideas list would be complete without the word “candle?” scrawled somewhere towards the bottom of the page. Much like Guylian chocolates or soap from The Body Shop, buying mum a candle for Mother's Day is a bit of a classic. And although candle making may have lost its commercial viability due to the light bulb, candle making as a crafting pastime is enjoying a resurgence.

Designing and building candles from scratch is an incredibly unique crafting experience and not one that everyone has the chance to participate in. Our live classes online offer your Mum a few options when it comes to picking what type and style of candle she might enjoy making this Mother's Day. Whether it’s utilising soy wax to make a vegan-friendly candle, put discovering a range of fragrances that might work well in a natural candle. Candle making is a fantastic way to pass the time and give your mum the gift of fire for Mother's Day.

If candle making isn't mum's thing, our soap making workshops are a good alternative! There's no better time to pamper yourself than in self-isolation, and offering your mum the chance to make her own range of boutique soaps is one of the most unique Mother's Day gifts available. Similar to candle making, your mum will be able to design and build her own soaps in whatever style, colour and fragrance she chooses! You may not be able to get to The Body Shop this Mother's Day, but it doesn't mean your Mother's Day present ideas can’t help your mum with a bit of crucial self-care.

Unwind with knitting and stitching

There's nothing like connecting with your mum or your grandma over a good knitting session. Knitting and stitching have been proven to help reduce stress and ease anxiety, making it a great way to maintain your health and wellbeing during self-isolation. As Australia slowly heads into its cooler months, there's also no better time than to learn how to knit. From warm scarves to giant throws to woolly jumpers, you and your mum can craft a range of different products.

Whether your mum has never picked up knitting needles before or she's dusting them off for the first time in a while, our DIY craft kits provide beginner-friendly guidance on how to get started with some basic stitches. These are one of the most relaxing Mother's Day present ideas, perfect for the mum who needs a little bit of encouragement to switch off and take some me-time.

If your mum is already a sewing maestro, you might want to get her one of our punch needle, weaving, crochet or embroidery DIY craft kits! These more niche crafts will introduce your mum to a whole new world of crafting, in fact, it might just become her new favourite hobby in 2024.

Whatever you choose this Mother’s Day, you can make your mum still feel appreciated with these Mother’s Day quarantine ideas.
