Gift ideas for Mother's Day
Here are some ideas to pamper mum without breaking the bank
STAYCATION TREAT
Consider Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson, the newly opened hotel offers 298 stylish guest rooms.
It is offering a package at $98 nett a night for one room. The rate is inclusive of breakfast for two the next morning.
Take a swim in the landscaped pool before chilling at the Chat & Chow restaurant located by the poolside.
There is also a Mother's Day BBQ Special by the poolside on May 8, which includes a free flow of sides with a meat and seafood selection.
Pick either the 5.30pm or 8.30pm dining slot, but do make reservations first.

BLING FOR MUMMY DEAREST

PRETTY PRACTICAL GIFT
Retail therapy is always welcome, so give mum something more than just a bouquet of carnations.
There are gifts aplenty in the different categories, be it beauty, fashion or home and living.
Our personal favourite is the Riedel curly pink decanter ($388).
It comes with a free set of two glasses (worth $56), so you can toast mum for all that she has done. And even if she isn't much of a drinker, the set is still great for display.

QUIET TIME WITH A BOOK
Mums are busy people. Give her some me-time with a quality book.
At Times bookstores, with a minimum purchase of $35, you get a handbag holder (worth $15) free. The promotion ends on May 31.
And if mum is into adult colouring, we recommend the anti-stress Meditation Through Colouring book ($20.22).
