Mother's day gifts
Have you gotten your mum a gift for Mother’s Day yet?
Yes, Mother’s Day is coming soon, and no it did not have a shift of date – it was and will always be on the second Sunday of May.
If you’ve already gotten her a gift, good for you. As for those who lost track of time and are hyperventilating over ‘what should I get for mum!?’, keep calm – we’ve compiled a gift guide to make things easier for you!
Depending on your her hobbies and personalities, below are a few Mother’s Day gift suggestions.
The Busy Woman: An Exquisite Watch
Juggling between work at home, in the office and undying love for the family is no easy task – so getting her a watch can help her keep track and balance time. This Mother’s Day, why not take it up a notch and get her something fancier – like say, the Jaeder-LeCoultre’s Grande Reverso Night & Day. With traditional styling and a new automatic in-house movement, this exquisite number is the perfect example of sturdiness and reliability. It comprises of 200 parts and has a nice 42-hour power reserve so that she can savor the carefree pleasure of not strapping it once in a while.
The Mum Who Loves To Bake: An Oven
While an oven might seem like an unlikely gift, it is actually one of the best items to give a momma who adores baking. Might we suggest something from Gaggenau – a premier leading brand in ovens, their Oven 400 series boasts of at least 13 cooking modes, is made from stainless teel and comes with handle-less doors. Plus, you even have the option of getting a matching coffee maker and wine chiller to complete the Gaggenau kitchen family! For more information on this, click here.
The ‘Interior Designer’: Comyns Padma Collection
For the mother who enjoys decorating and sprucing up the house, the Comyns Padma Collection is a thing to consider. Using the lotus plant as a source of inspiration, the collection can easily beautify a space on its own or as an accompanying piece of decoration (e.g. used as a base for floral arrangements).
The 925 Sterling Silver Comyns Padma Collection comes in a set of four different-sized bowls that can be stacked together, or presented individually.
The Fashionista: A Handbag
If you’re afraid of getting wrong sizing for clothes and jewelry, getting a handbag is the way to go! As for those who are still unsure of what kind of bag to get, our advice is to keep it minimalist and classy – like Fossil’s Sydney Shopper. Designed with top handles, a structured frame and buttery soft leather, this shopper bag is made to fit any momma’s lifestyle.
The Scent-sational Mum: Limited Edition or Premium Perfume
Instead of getting your mother another mainstream bottle of perfume to add into her collection, consider getting something that’s a bit rarer. Take for instance the perfume from L’occitane’s La Collection de Grasse. Named as Neroli, the scent carries base notes of orange blossom and white orchids – truly a scent that’s fit for those who seek rare aromas.
The Techie: Gadget Cases
Give her phone or tablet an upgrade with a new case. And if she’s one who’s a bit on the clumsy side, then it’s time to introduce the Otterbox Symmetry series into her life. Ultra slim, stylish and tough, these covers are a great way of preventing dreaded cracked gadgets.
