WITH Mother's Day approachin­g on May 12, many of us find ourselves scratching our heads and asking the age-old question: “What gift do I get for my mom?”

It's a tale as old as time, our beloved moms, the superheroe­s in our lives, are often the hardest to shop for.

When asked what they'd like for their special day, they often respond with a dismissive wave and the classic line of “I don't need anything” or “I have everything”.

Our list of options will help you spoil your mom this Mother's Day.

Our moms deserve to feel extraordin­ary, loved and valued on every occasion.

Instant mobile photo printer/ Polaroid camera

In today's digital era, where snapping photos is as easy as a click and sharing them is just a tap away, our precious family moments often get trapped in the digital realm of Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

This device is a game-changer for moms who love to hold onto memories. It can turn a digital photo into a physical keepsake that can be framed, added to a family album or shared with loved ones the old-fashioned way.

A home-made gin cocktail kit

Who says Mother's Day can't be shaken up a bit? Move over chocolates and flowers, this year, let's toast to

Mom with something a little more spirited. How about a cocktail recipe book that keeps on giving, long after the last sip?

Imagine the fun she'll have flipping through a book brimming with concoction­s, each page offering a new adventure in mixology. And, pair that book with a beginner's cocktail kit.

A shaker, strainer, jigger and some fancy glasses are all the ingredient­s for a Mother's Day win.

A sentimenta­l gift

We've all been there, listening to our moms recount their younger days, leaving us in stitches or resulting in the longest hug known to mankind.

It's those moments that remind

us that our moms have lived vibrant, rich lives before us, and they're still growing and learning every day.

That's where the “Tell Me Your Life Story, Mom” journal comes into play.

The journal is thoughtful­ly designed with prompts to guide your mom through her storytelli­ng journey, making it easy for her to dive in.

Birth-month flower grow kit

Did you know that just like zodiac signs and birthstone­s, each month has its very own special flower?

All you have to do is match your mom's birth month to the right petal partner. For instance, if she's an August baby, then get her poppies.
