1. Mother’s Day slideshow video 

Remind your mom this Mother’s Day how much you cherish all the memories with her by creating a video slideshow. Highlight your favorite times together caught on video or in a photo by merging them together in a montage video. It’s the perfect last-minute gift that you can create in seconds with Clipchamp’s video slideshow maker.  

2. Pet voiceover video  

Fur babies and dog Moms can celebrate Mother’s Day too! Create a cute and humorous video from a pet’s perspective by documenting the day in the life of your mom’s furry friend. This style of voiceover video is a great way to entertain your followers while sharing tribute to your mom. 

3. Storytime video about mom 

One of the easiest yet effective gifts of all is sharing a funny, memorable, or heartfelt storytime video about your mom. Use your smartphone, camera, or record with ease with Clipchamp’s online webcam recorder telling a story about mom. Edit your video to remove mistakes, aspect ratio to suit any social media platform, and even add Mother’s Day themed stickers, transitions, background music, and more.  

4. Q&A video with mom   

Whether you’re asking Mom awkward questions and advice or testing how well she knows you, interact with your mom a bit differently this Mother’s Day by recording a unique Q&A video. This interview style video is a wonderful way to get mom involved, share her personality online, and let your followers in on your personal life. You can add auto-captions and text overlays to make your video more accessible and even speed up or slow down your video. Video memories usually last forever, so you can reminisce and watch the videos you made together every Mother’s Day too.  

5. Mother’s Day video card  

Instead of writing your mom a traditional Mother’s Day card, turn your loving words into a surprise video card. It’s easy if you use a ready-made video template, personalize the text, colors, and add in your own images. Share your video card directly to Instagram and TikTok straight from Clipchamp’s export page.  

6. Mom’s favorite recipe video 

From warm roast dinners to fluffy chocolate pancakes, there’s always a dish mom cooks that’s regularly requested on special occasions, or just because. But instead of gatekeeping your delicious homecooked meals, turn your mom's go-to recipes into easy-to-follow social media videos for your followers to enjoy. Delicious simple recipes and cooking hack videos even have a good chance to go viral on TikTok.  

7. Interview with the kids’ video 

Bring the children together this Mother’s Day to create a special video for mom. Ask the kids what they love best about mom, their favorite activity with mom, and why mom is special to them. This heartfelt video is extra cute, entertaining, and will bring happy tears and a smile to your mom’s face. Trim video clips, merge together, add some soft background music, text overlays, and share directly to social media like YouTube.  

8. Mother’s Day meme 

Keep your mom laughing this Mother’s Day by sending a hilarious and unexpected Mother’s Day meme. Find a relatable meme online or create your own with free Mother’s Day stock footage, save it to your smartphone, and send it to your mom. Nothing says “I love you mom” like a corny meme.  

9. Impersonating mom TikTok trend video 

If you want to make your mom laugh this Mother’s Day, create a light-hearted impersonation short video. Acting like your mom on TikTok has millions of views combined and has become one of the most well-known trends on TikTok. The trend first became popular from the creator Kat Stickler acting like her Hispanic mother in videos, with her own mother recording. Her contagious laugh behind the camera makes the impersonations even funnier as you can hear Kat’s mom loving her impersonation.  

10. Author a poem about mom 

Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much we really love our mom. So instead of writing a traditional Mother’s Day card this year, get creative and take your Mother’s Day gift to the next level by writing mom a heartfelt (or funny) poem. The options are endless, for example, ‘roses are red, violets are blue, sorry you didn’t give birth to a poet who could rhyme, but I love you’.  

It’s time to put your creative hat on and make this Mother’s Day one to remember! Create heartfelt videos for mom with Clipchamp.
