Celebrating Mother’s Day Amid COVID-19 Curfew.

Despite all the chaos going around in the world due to COVID-19 pandemic, one cannot simply forget the Mother's Day that falls on this Sunday (10th of March). It's a day solely dedicated to celebrating the first (and probably the only) woman in your life who loves and encourages you unconditionally throughout all the ups and downs in life. Honestly, a single day like this isn't enough to honour our mothers, which is why every day is Mother's Day.

All of us are affected by COVID-19 curfews, travel restrictions or self-isolation, and therefore, celebrating Mother's Day is a bit challenging this year. But luckily, there are a bunch of ways to do something special to this wonderful lady in your life, while still maintaining social distancing measures to keep her and all of our loved ones safe and well.

Here is a list of vendors in Colombo who are delivering Mother's Day themed flower bouquets, cakes, sweets and gift boxes amid COVID-19 curfews.
