Because momma knows best, so momma gotta get the best…
A mother’s love: there’s nothing quite like it. The special occasion to thank the woman who has sacrificed so much for you is this Sunday. It’s still not too late to grab a last-minute gift or plan something special for only the most important woman in your life (no pressure, really).
We’ve rounded up a list of things you can do for your queen, there’s bound to be something she’ll love no matter if she’s an OCD lady or fitness junkie. Because momma knows best, so momma gotta get the best.
For The Corporate Mum…
Running between meetings and business lunches sure isn’t easy, more so if your mum is just relying on her iPhone for the time. This go-getter will want a watch that not only serves its purpose but also something that makes a statement.
This sleek and minimalist number from Marc By Marc Jacobs just screams sophistication. With a scratch resistant face and rose gold accents, this watch is the perfect gift for our dedicated working mums. It retails for $498, but you can get a authentic, brand new piece on Shopee for almost half the price; it’ll reach you within 2 days – just in time for Mother’s Day.
For Mums Who Could Use Some Pampering…
Who doesn’t love a good spa day? We’re pretty sure you’ve told your mum to chill out a few too many times in your adolescence, so to make up for that, why not treat her to a relaxing, luxurious body massage. She’ll be surrounded by the verdant sight of tropical plants and the sounds of waterfalls at Sofitel Sentosa’s SoSpa. Choose from either a indoor massage or one at their outdoor pavilion with their So Much Love For Two promotion for Mother’s Day.
Priced at $250++ per person, it includes a 45-minute body scrub and a 60-minute full body massage – a once in awhile splurge on the woman who’s done everything for you. It’s valid till 30 June 2017, perfect for a belated Mother’s Day surprise.
For The Gourmet Mums…
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but we’re pretty sure it works the same for our mums too. Located within The Club at Ann Siang Hill, The Disgruntled Brasserie is the sister outlet of the acclaimed The Disgruntled Chef at Dempsey. Unlike its fine dining counterpart, The Disgruntled Brasserie is a modern European brasserie with a laid-back ambiance.
If you’re looking for a place to bring mum out that’s classy but not overly pretentious, this should be right up your alley. Their Mother’s Day special is a 5-course set meal at only $48++ per pax complete with items like a Gruyere Cheese Soufflé, Boston Lobster Bisque, and Pan Roasted Barramundi. Also, for every three brunch sets ordered here, your mum can enjoy a free brunch, along with a selection of NARS gifts. Makeup and food – what a way to her heart.

For The Sporty Mum…
A dry shampoo may seem unconventional, but trust me on this. If your mum is one to hit the gym in the middle of her day, then this quick-drying, foam dry shampoo is perfect for removing excess oil and buildup. This brand is founded by the Kardashian’s hairstylist – so you definitely can trust it.
The result is simple and perfect: a tousle that holds and hair that looks, if not feels cleaner (important especially if you’re time-strapped after an intense workout). It will make her feel as if she’s ready to take on the world and think of you each time she uses it. Win-win.
For Mums Who Loves To Entertain…

At $25 for a box of 9 sticks, this one by Cheng Yew Heng Candy, Singapore’s only sugar manufacturer is perfect for the hot drinks that concluded mum’s high tea parties.
These sugar sticks comes in three different flavours namely Rose Lychee, Strawberry and Peach. She’ll welcome this modern addition, it’s a perfect gift for the exemplary hostess.
For The Practical Mums….
She hates it when you buy her flowers because why spend $70 on something that eventually dies? Which is why you definitely do not want to be impractical if you’re opting for a bag for Mum. This Longchamp Le Pliage Neo,reinvented from the cult-favourite Le Pliage collection, fits the bill perfectly.
Trendy, spacious, versatile and not to mention practical, it’s the perfect bag for mums on the go. The bag is also available in a myriad of colors, it’s only right that she gets one in her favourite color. This bold one on Shopee will place all the attention on your queen.
For Durian-Loving Mums…
Goodwood Park Hotel has always been known for their amazing Durian creations. Their much-anticipated dessert buffet is back at the Coffee Lounge. Spend some quality time with mum as you catch up and bond over a tempting range of durian pastries, cakes, ice creams and even a D24 Donut.
It’s a steal at only $38.80++ per person or $29.80++ with any ala-carte main course order, considering the ambiance and delectable spread that awaits you.
For Mums Who Always Says She Has No Time…
Mom’s already the superhero holding the home together: making your food, making your bed… basically making sure your life can go on as normal every day. The daily sacrifices she makes for the family can sometimes go unnoticed, so what better way to show your appreciation than a bottle of SKII’s iconic Facial Treatment Essence.
Mum’s probably been neglecting her skin because she has no time for a full skincare regime, but with this fuss-free pat-on essence, she’ll have no more excuses not to. This limited Sakura edition will definitely take centre stage on her vanity, more brownie points for you.
For Masterchef Mums…
The kitchen is her kingdom – you’re always better off steering clear when she’s whipping something up. Baking a birthday cake or cooking up Gordon Ramsey’s famous beef wellington, this over-achieving mum never fails to accede to your food cravings.
This Japanese brand, Le Creuset is a household name among chefs and housewives alike. Their colorful crockeries are known for their long lifespan, thanks to its enamelled cast iron and ceramic material. Gift her this cute, heart-shaped stoneware casserole designed to cater for a large variety of sweet and savoury dishes. Functional yet pleasing on the eyes, it will make a great addition to her existing collection.
For The Stressed-Out Mums…
