Treat mom like a queen this Mother's Day

Shower her with gifts fit for royalty

- By Jane Kingsu-cheng

From luxurious pampering to heartfelt gestures of appreciati­on, treating our mothers like a queen is the perfect way to honor her love, strength, and unwavering support. Here are some gift ideas to make her feel cherished and adored—especially this Mother’s Day.

Start the day with love

A new and refreshing spot to bring mom to is Villar City. Located in Las Piñas, this 3,500-hectare space offers so many activities for mom and the whole family. Start the day with a hearty brunch meal at Brittany Hotel. For P2,800 per person, with kids eating for free and 50 percent off between seven to 12 years old, the whole family can enjoy bonding over great food from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Avail of extra treats on May 12 only with a voucher of either a 15-minute foot or back massage, or a manicure or pedicure at Cedar Room for mom, along with herb plants and discount voucher from Botanica Salon. Children also get a compliment­ary cookie and cupcake glazing lessons at the hotel.

Take a lovely break

If coffee and/or tea is her preference, then there are three options at Villar City. If she’s into nature, Forresta Cafe is a charming cafe surrounded with vast greenery. Glass House by Coffee Project transports you into a fairytale world with its glass walls and enchanting interiors, while Crossing Cafe has the vibe of a cozy neighborho­od cafe with its rustic decor and cozy seats. Whatever your mom requests, there’s a cafe spot that suits her mood.

Explore and wind down

Walk around Evia Lifestyle Mall and enjoy the many Mother’s Day offerings from its retail outlets, dining establishm­ents, and entertainm­ent options.

After an enjoyable walk around the mall, it’s nice to end this special day with dinner to show how much we appreciate our mom.

Dream in fragrances

For the mom who appreciate­s the beauty of how gorgeous scents can transport one to a special time and place, Chloé Atelier des Fleurs fragrance collection is a must present to give. Choose from fragrances of floral, aromatic, and woody notes which she can layer to create her own signature scents. And when you think about it, it becomes her very own floral bouquet in a scent. Available in 50 ml and 150 ml at Rustan’s Makati.

Bag a new bag

Newly opened Fauré Le Page is known for their heritage and exquisite craftsmans­hip, and what better way to appreciate this than visiting the Greenbelt 4 boutique. From May 11 to 12, you also get to bring home a special hand-painted gift for Mother’s Day.

Sparkle with jewelry

Moms deserve to shine the brightest, and diamond jewelry is one of the most appreciate­d gifts they can receive. Tessera offers naturally mined diamonds in modern classic designs that are sure to be precious pieces which can be passed on. As part of their Mother’s Day treat, purchase any piece from their Infinite Love collection and receive a compliment­ary gift from Pili Ani.

Shop to her heart’s delight

Not sure what to give her? Pluxee Gifts Credits let her choose on her own, depending on her needs and mood for the day. And the best part is, she doesn’t have to finish it all up in one go. With over 10,000 retail partners, she can go for shopping, pampering, dining, and even experienti­al and travel options.
