If your mum calls the airport her second home, a gift from this selection will do the trick! Make sure she’s making her way through airports with ease alongside one of the suitcases in Rimowa’s Essential range, including the Cabin, with its brand new Papaya or Mint hues. They’re sure to add a touch of colourful charm to her summer travels! Another bag you can add to her travel lineup is Tumi’s Asra Shoulder Bag that will look good on her no matter where she’s going. Plus, it can fit a ton of her travel essentials without compromising on style.

For the mothers who love to dress up for the airport, Lululemon’s Oversized Scuba Hoodie in the new Shade and Gold colour combo will have her looking stunning from the check-in counters to baggage claim. Complete her outfit with the new Nike V2K Run trainers for a dash of retro athleisure.

Would mum rather stay home than head out for a fancy dinner? No problem, we’ve got just the gifts for her. The hostess with the ‘mostest’ deserves a stunning set of tableware to show off whenever guests are over, so why not give her a collection of plates and bowls from Bendang Studio? Its Catan range is tastefully crafted and inspired by abstract paintings, perfect for adding a touch of colour to any tablescape. To add, A.Cross Creations’ ‘Oh Honey! Bee Well’ gift set will take her breakfasts or tea times at home up a notch. Each box comes with four pure honey varieties—acacia, wildflower, blossom and high mountain—and two hand-poured beeswax candles.

For the mums who love a good scent wafting around the household, Sixth Sense’s Jasmine Dream reed diffuser will have her on cloud nine. Your entire abode will be enriched with the scents of jasmine, yuzu, cedarwood, and lavender essential oils—perfect for a healing day in. There’s nothing like a homemade meal and for the mum’s who love cooking up a storm, the Le Creuset Flower collection will be a welcome addition to the kitchen. We especially love the plate sets, which will bring an element of whimsy to her me-time meals.  Mums who have a thing for blooms will also appreciate Royal Selangor’s Splendour Vase. Great for larger bouquets, these vessels will make for a classy and sophisticated add to any household.

Royce Nama Chocolate ‘Sakura Fromage’, RM55

4/4

End your Mother’s Day meals with one of these sweet treats that will be sure to put a smile on mum’s face (and her appetite). Mums who love fruity cakes will take a liking to Lacher Patisserie’s Chamomile Lychee Raspberry creation, made with none other than the ingredients it has been named after! Plus, its citrus croustillant base and sponge add hints of zestiness to every bite. A tribute to mother hens and the care they give to their brood, LinLin Cakes’ Mother’s Day special, called Mama Hen and Chicks, is almost too pretty to eat! There are six flavour choices for you to choose from, so you can cater to mama’s tastes.

Softe’s Mother’s Day pavlova is more than just a pretty face. This funky dessert is made with Sablé Breton, raspberry Romanoff cream, pandan sponge, and rose jam, so she’s guaranteed to get a sweet kick out of it. Royce is celebrating Mother’s Day in tandem with sakura season, so it’s only appropriate that their seasonal specials are infused with the flavours of the cherry blossom. We love its Nama Chocolate ‘Sakura Fromage’, which combines sakura flowers with strawberries, cream cheese, and a touch of strawberry liqueur.
