Flower and Shawl Set from Humming Flowers & Gifts

Humming’s Mother’s Day Guardian’s Shawl Gift set includes a mini carnation bouquet and a two-tone shawl in mama’s preferred shades (Grey/Pink or Navy/Off-White).

Mother’s Day Greeting Cards from Simply Say

Studies show that sending a tangible greeting card in what is a predominately digital world positively impacts the well-being of both the recipient and the sender. There’s nothing like opening an envelope and receiving a greeting card from someone you love! Simply Say is Singapore’s only personalised greeting card service where you can create your own card or select from a range of designs, so they know a thing or two about choosing the perfect card for Mother’s Day. Their brand new collection of Mother’s Day cards come in traditional, funny and quirky designs, available in the standard A5 size (from $7.49) or in a new A4 option (from $14.99). We love that the pages can be customised with a thoughtful message with the card sent directly to the recipient, or left blank for you to leave a hand-written. Did we mention they’re also environmentally responsible as their cards are 100% recyclable and are only printed to order?

Flowers

We’ve got a list of the best florists and flower shops in Singapore for you to flick over to the hubs this Mother’s Day. We’ve even included some exclusive discounts just for you!

Facials or Massages

What better Mother’s Day gift to get a busy mama than the gift of rest and relaxation? Pick from our list of the best facial spots in town, or get a masseuse to come to her! Try a mobile spa service – we’re fans of SoleHouse and Aleyda.

Book a High Tea

If mama hasn’t yet tried a high tea experience, it couldn’t be a better time to book her one! We’ve rounded up all our favourite high tea spots across the island, from high tea with amazing views to traditional, English-style high teas, to high teas with a cocktail kick, those that highlight local faves, vegetarian and gluten-free afternoon tea options, and even some dedicated kids’ high teas. Or for special Mother’s Day celebration menus check out our roundup just for Mother’s Day lunches, high teas and dinners.

Book a Family Photography Session

Don’t you just love getting a fresh batch of photos taken with the family? Even better when they’re taken by a professional! One of our favourite family photographers Irina Nilsson is the best there is out there – just check out our That Mama series, of which she’s photographed many of the amazing mamas featured (together with their families!).

Book a Yacht

This Mother’s Day why not book an experience as a Mother’s Day gift? Treat mama to a day out at sea with a yacht booking! Enjoy sunsets and star-lit dinners on an evening cruise or try a great variety of water sports with minimal hassle. We’ve got a great list of yacht charter options in Singapore here (some priced as low as $599!).

Personalised Jewellery

Personalised jewellery is definitely having a moment right now, and we love that they’re particularly great for gifting! Local brand Del Rio Jewels has some gorgeous sustainably made mama-themed bracelets and necklaces. Other brands we love are SOAMI, Tiffany & Co and Envet (funky earrings sporting the kids’ names, anyone?)!

No matter the gift this Mother’s Day, remember to give that amazing leading lady in your life a big hug and say I love you – sometimes something homemade (by the kids) or heartfelt (like a whole afternoon off to have some me-time) is the best Mother’s Day Gift of all (but also throw in the flowers).
