Of course, one of the best ways to keep in touch with your loved ones amid the coronavirus pandemic is to call them. With texting and messaging, phone calls aren’t as common these days, but hearing your voice can help cheer them up significantly.

Quarantine is a great time to work on your baking skills, so get in the kitchen and whip something up that you can drop off or mail to family living elsewhere.

Make a box of quarantine essentials and treats, such as toilet paper, skin care items, snacks and pantry essentials for easy meals to send to your loved ones to show that you care.

Cheer up your household by having a fancy dinner night at home. Put out the nice dinnerware, and make some elaborate recipes and impressive desserts. If you want to go the extra mile, make up a mock menu and follow these other tips for making dinner at home feel like dinner out.

The need for a trip to a luxurious spa resort is greater than ever, but with facilities closed, the option for a professional massage or mani-pedi isn’t there. That doesn’t mean you and your family can’t give each other nice pedicures, facials or other spa treatments at home. You can also send a “self-care” package with nail polish, foot scrub and face masks to family members you can’t be with.

Quarantine is a great time to learn new skills like singing or playing an instrument, and you can show off your new talents — and bring some joy to others — by playing them a song they like or even one you composed yourself.

Even if you can’t sing or play an instrument, you can still connect with others through music. Curate a playlist for your loved ones consisting of classic pop songs, new music you want them to hear or even just tunes that remind you of them.

Brighten someone’s day by having some flowers delivered to them, or even try growing some yourself and drop off a specially picked bouquet.

There are so many options for exercising at home, but perhaps the most fun way to get yourself up and moving is by having a dance party in your living room. Invite others outside your home to join in by hosting a dance-off through video chat.

Add some fun to everyone’s week with a virtual game night. Find online versions of your favorite games that everyone can join in to play, or set up a video game stream.

Take photos and videos of what you’re up to, whether it’s the new project you’re working on, what the kids are doing or cute photos of your pets to share with family and bring a smile to their faces.

Make someone happy by ordering them lunch or dinner from their favorite food spot. If you aren’t sure what to get them, consider what dishes America is ordering during the coronavirus pandemic.

Quarantine is hard on everyone, and it’s important to take care of those in your own household first. Take the load off of others at home by picking up some of their chores and house duties, such as organization, cleaning, cooking and laundry.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it’s a great time to give those in your household some special treatment by making them some classic breakfast in bed recipes.

The coronavirus pandemic has canceled many birthday, graduation and anniversary parties. There are many ways to still celebrate special occasions at home. If someone in your family has a big day coming up, have a driveby parade, drop off gifts outside or wave to them from a distance.

Arts and crafts are a great way to keep kids busy while they’re stuck indoors, and they’re also a cute idea for gifts you can send to family. If you are particularly talented with a skill such as knitting or painting, you can make something special yourself and mail it to your loved ones.

If you’re already heading to the grocery store or running other errands, offer to do the same for others in your family, especially the elderly.

You may not be able to spend time with your loved ones in person, but you can show that you care by spending time with them virtually. Stream movies at the same time while on a video call and you can enjoy your old favorites together, explore new genres and get lost in amazing locations on film.

Online gift cards are a great way to treat someone to their favorite food or shopping spree even though you can’t be with them. It’s also one of the ways to thank healthcare workers and other essential employees.

Thanks to the internet, there’s still a lot one can do while quarantined at home. Make sure your elder family members are up to speed too by showing them how to use streaming services and how to tour landmarks and museums online for free.

Sponsor a loved one’s entertainment, so to speak, by buying them a subscription to a newspaper, streaming service, online cooking class or subscription box. You can also gift them a streaming account so that everyone can cheer themselves up with happy TV shows.

There are plenty of awesome online classes to take during quarantine, but learning from someone you know can be a great bonding experience. Offer to teach your loved ones a skill that you excel at, like knitting, cooking or makeup.

You don’t have to constantly call or video chat to check in on the people you care about; texting is a quick and simple way to show someone that you’re thinking of them. There’s also plenty of fun to be had with different kinds of emojis and GIFs that make someone smile.

Memes and viral videos have completely changed our lives in the past decade, and they can be easily shared via text or social media. Stay in touch with others and cheer them up at the same time by sending them super funny memes and videos you come across.

Taking the time to sit down and write a nice letter or card is not only a great way to connect with others and express your thoughts and feelings, but it’s also one of the simplest acts of kindness you can do from your home during the pandemic.
