By now, I am sure everyone has already booked a nice restaurant to celebrate Mother’s Day. I think it is a great opportunity to show our appreciation to one of the most important people in our lives.
Besides bringing her for a nice Mother’s Day dinner, everyone should also prepare a little present. There are so many things you can do/get for your mom – go for a weekend getaway; bring her for a spa treatment; or accompany her to a cooking class.
If you are still thinking of what to get, here’s a guide to Mother’s Day gift ideas.
Weekend Getaway
One of the best things about being in Singapore is that it’s just a few hours away from many amazing cities in the region. With budget airlines like Scoot, AirAsia, Tiger, and Jetstar offering affordable tickets, there’s no excuse for not going on a getaway. Bring your mother for a weekend getaway – Hong Kong, Bali, Bangkok, and the list goes on. Have fun!
Tea gift set
If your mom is a tea lover, what better gift to get her than a TWG Tea gift set?
The Gourmet Tea Set with French Earl Grey Tea ($63) consists of an Haute Couture Tin of the French Earl Grey Tea, a jar of the special TWG Tea sugar, and a jar of the addictive French Earl Grey tea jelly.
Jewellery
Jewellery is a woman’s best friend. Every woman loves jewellery, and your mother is no exception.
When I was in New York City, I bought a simple Tiffany & Co necklace for my mom, and she was grinning to herself for weeks. Remember, it is not about the value, it is about the thought behind your gift.
Mother’s Day Cooking Classes
For you guys who are looking for last minute plans for Mother’s Day, the cooking classes at ToTT will be a great option!
Chef Janice Wong – one of the most talented pastry chefs in Singapore – is teaching a class on New Age Fantasy Cakes ($138) where participants will get to learn how to bake Cupcakes and Cake Pops.
There is also Cooking for Mom with Chef Eric Low ($118), where your mom and you can learn three scrumptious recipes: carrot cake with sweet chilli bean sauce, cheese and ham scones, and Vodka green tea tiramisu.
To register, go the ToTT store at 896 Dunearn Road 01-01A, or call 62197077.
Aramsa Spa (Bishan Park 2, 1382 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 Tel: +65 6456 6556) – one of my favourite spas in Singapore – has a Mother’s Day promotion. The ‘I love mom‘ package offers inner respite massage (60mins) and SkinCeuticals regenerating facial (75mins) for $280+.
Over at The Sentosa, Spa Botanica (2 Bukit Manis Road Tel: +65 6376 4328) is having a Mom’s spa retreat promotion at $380 which includes radiance facial (30 mins), moor detox wrap (60 mins), moor relaxing body massage (60 mins), and complimentary use of spa garden facilities.
Kitchen appliances
My mom cooks every day, so the Bosch MUM 5 Styline Kitchen Machine is the perfect gift for her. For Mother’s Day 2012, Bosch is giving complimentary gift sets from New Moon – abalone and bird’s nest products – with purchase of the Bosch range of Kitchen Machines: MUM86R1 HomeProfessional, MUM54230 and MUM52110 Styline.
The promotion is valid for the month of May, from 1st to 31st May 2012.
Cookbooks
Getting a cookbook as a Mother’s Day gift is a good idea as she can learn new recipes and make yummy things for you.
Jipaban – one of the top online shopping malls in Singapore – has a comprehensive selection of cookbooks. I am a fan of Nigella Lawson: How To Be A Domestic Goddess, and A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg.
