Pandemic got your Mother’s Day plans ruined?

As Mother’s Day in Singapore (10th May) approaches, many of us are worried about how we can make this day special for the woman who brought us to this world and gave us life. During this extended circuit breaker, as we all stay home to help flatten the curve, it is impossible to plan anything, or so it would seem.

Fret not! We have compiled a list of some of the most amazing things that you can do to make Mummy dearest feel loved this Mother’s Day while staying at home.

The Gift Of Keeping Fit

Staying at home in isolation can be challenging, both mentally and physically, especially for our ageing Mums. This Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to inspire your Mum with some new fitness goals. Why not gift her a Fitbit device to motivate her to maintain her health? A Fitbit tracks activity, exercise, sleep, weight, and much more.

To commemorate Mother’s Day this year, Fitbit has come up with a myriad of popular smartwatches, fitness trackers, and accessories including the Versa 2, Versa Lite, Charge 3, Inspire HR, Inspire, Ionic and Aria 2 which are on sale from now until 10 May 2020. Whether your mum is a tech newbie or an exercise enthusiast, there’s something for her this Mother’s Day!

An array of Fitbit devices and accessories are on sale at Lazada, with up to $70 off on selected products. Buy some fun fitness devices for your Mum online and make this day special for her in a meaningful way.

Pamper Your Mum With Takeaway Deals

These days, the need to stay positive and enjoy every moment with our loved ones is even more pertinent. Go the extra mile and get that lavish spread for Mum straight from Shangri-La!

Arrange For An Elegant High Tea

If you want to do something unique, keep it classy and elegant with a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Set ($58) from Grand Park City Hall’s restaurant, Tablescape. The tea set comes with both freshly baked sweets and savoury treats. You’ll see specials like freshly baked scones (served with a trio of house-churned butter, homemade jam, and clotted cream), savoury choux pastries, along with other small delectable desserts.

Recreate a classic European summer with this exquisite set and let Mum feel the warmth of your love. In addition, Grand Park City Hall is giving away a beautiful shawl with a top-up of $28 to complete the gift for a memorable Mother’s Day.

How About Some Wine?

For those who love to let loose with their cool Mums, chilling at home with some wine and a good Netflix show might be just the right way to celebrate Mother’s Day. So what if a girls’ night out is not possible, you can always have a fun slumber party at home!

To help make that possible this Mother’s Day, Le Bon Funk has come up with a Home Care Package (starting from $350) that comes with three boutique bottles that have been specially chosen by Le Bon Funk’s sommelier for the occasion, including the refreshing Jane Okruashvili Georgian rosé, Domaine Mosse Chenin Blanc, and Pet Nat Vol 2.

Make It Personal With Home-made Food And Hand-made Cards

For those who want to dig deep and emote, this circuit breaker is the perfect excuse to show your love for your Mum. Why not make her favourite dish at home and enjoy it with her, recalling childhood memories and talking about things you both love.

To add to the love, take the time to write her a card. When was the last time you expressed your love for your Mum? A handwritten card will be the most special and heartwarming treat for her.
