Here’s everything your mum needs and wants this Mother’s Day

You may have already planned where to take Mum out for a nice meal but may not have decided if you should simply pack her a red packet or to get gift. If you ask us, we’re sure she’d rather you spend time to pick out something special for her. If you are still shopping around, here are some recommendations to inspire you.

By the way, if you’re still making lunch/dinner plans, we have a few great dining places to recommend too!

Spend quality time with her

You are both busy and may not get to enjoy as much mother-child time as much as you wish. Take the chance to plan a day (or two!) out with her. We’re sure she would appreciate your time.

Go on a staycation

Enjoy a manicure or massage together

Spend a relaxing day together enjoying a beauty service that she will appreciate. Have a chat as you get your nails beautified or your knotted muscles sorted, and allow yourselves to simply while away an hour or two, and simply enjoy each other’s company.

Catch a musical together

Dress up, go for dinner, then watch a musical together. After that, spend the rest of the night discussing your favourite scenes. We’re sure it’ll be a night to remember.

The Phantom of the Opera is showing from now till 8 June. You can book your tickets here.

Get something practical

If she’s someone who always tells you not to spend money on anything frivolous, she’s probably going to prefer a gift that she can use for a long time. In this case, we’ve got a few recommendations.

Shop for new apparel and accessories

Spanish clothing retailer Oysho has recently come to Singapore and opened its first store here in Jewel Changi Airport. The brand offers a wide array of apparel and accessories, ranging from sleepwear and lingerie to beachwear and gymwear. This means that you can certainly find something that she would find useful – and we’re sure you won’t be able to resist getting something for yourself too!

It’s also good chance for you to explore Jewel Changi Airport with Mum if you haven’t already done so.

Oysho is located at #B1-225 to 227, Jewel Changi Airport. It is open from 10am to 10pm.

Encourage her to lead an even healthier lifestyle

Gift her a luxury bag

A luxury bag in a timeless design can be a statement-making accessory that she can use for a long time. We’re currently in love with the Saint Laurent Nolita bag, a classic that will never go out of style. Made with buttery soft leather (lamb), it has slouchy silhouette and is roomy enough to fit her day-to-day accessories and even a tablet or book. The sliding chain strap can be doubled up to get a shorter drop so she can adjust it according to her preference.

It retails at US$2,290 and is available at Saint Laurent boutiques and Net-a-Porter.
