For The Most Important Lady In Your Life
Last (minute) but not least! Mothers’ Day is a mere three days away and if you still haven’t bought your Mum a gift, what on earth are you waiting for? Get to it, people!
A bouquet of flowers is all it takes to put a smile on your mother’s face. Get gorgeous blooms from our black book of trusted florists such as Karen French Floral Designs and Flower Girl. For floral arrangements with a twist, magazine retailer Magpie has you covered with their Mothers’ Day gift hampers ($160-$255), which contain two magazines, baked treats from Kith, and flowers from Triceratops – all of mum’s favourite things!
While you’re at it, why not throw in a thoughtful gift to really spoil Mum? You can never go wrong with perfume, like the new Kenzo Flower In The Air EDT ($147 for 100ml, also available at select department stores).
Being a Mum is a tough job, so she definitely deserves all the TLC she can get: the Josie Maran Spread The Argan Love Set (US$38), contain the brand’s bestselling argan oil products to her skin as well as the Sonority gift kit from Aesop ($155). Better yet, why not book her a relaxing day at the spa? Check out our round up of the best Mothers’ Day spa offers around town.
If Mum’s no stranger to looking good, she’ll love to sport the Tory Burch cuff (US$260) and tote the Sophie Hulme buckle bag ($1, 150) in vibrant pink as the perfect finishing touches to any outfit.
Exploring the inimitable style of director Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock Style coffee table book (US$45, also available at Bungalow 55) is the perfect gift for Mums who love watching the good ol’ classic flicks. And for one-of-a-kind artwork, Australian artist Sophie Taggart’s paintings (available at the Things We Love pop up) will make a great addition to any home.
Indulge Mum’s inner domestic goddess with the hottest accessory in every kitchen – a KitchenAid mixer (in her favourite colour, no less). Bonus: think of all the cupcakes you’ll receive in thanks! And for a calming treat, Twinings Signature Blend tea fusions ($88 to $188, available at selected hotels and establishments) offers a range of eight teas and fusions to soothe Mum’s frazzled nerves – win-win for everyone.
