We also love these stylish ones from The Imprint and Mori that are sure to elevate mum’s outfit.

Surprise mum with a short trip across the border or take a ferry to Bintan or Batam for an easy trip out of SG with gorgeous waters and palm trees for the weekend. Read our Bintan guide before you go! If you’re looking to splash out and surprise her with destinations further afield, we’ve got travel guides and recommendations for Europe, Japan & South Korea, Thailand, Australia, Bali and more.
7. Mother’s Day gift: personalised subscription boxes
Here’s a Mother’s Day gift idea that keeps on giving — subscription boxes! Each month, mum will receive a delightful surprise tailored to her preferences and needs. From gourmet snacks to beauty products, books, gardening supplies, and more, the options are endless. Some subscription boxes that we think she will love include this flower subscription, this fruit subscription box, and this coffee subscription box for coffee lovers!
8. Mother’s Day gift: spa treatment
Treat mama to some pampering at one of our fave spas – choose from Auriga Spa at Capella, Raffles Spa, Sofitel Spa at Sofitel Sentosa or Chi Spa at Shangri-La. You can also check out our roundup of fave facials in Singapore and best onsens! Looking for a spa with a difference? Book mum in for a spa-cation at Tempat Senang in Batam – or you can buy a Mother’s Day gift of a full day’s worth of spa treatments, plus lunch before returning by ferry – and it’ll probably still be cheaper than a luxe spa at a hotel in town.
You can even surprise mama at home with a mobile beauty service! Think mani-pedis, massages and even hairstyling services without even having to leave the house. Check out our guide for a full list of mobile beauty services that come to you.
9. Mother’s Day gift: book a staycation
Book a luxurious staycation as a Mother’s Day gift at any of the iconic hotels in Singapore, from Raffles Singapore to Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa (for the amazing facilities and that private beach!). Check out our list of Kid-friendly Staycation Hotels and Deals before you book.
10. Kobo or Kindle: practical Mother’s Day gift
Does mum like to read or would she like to if she could only find the books she wanted easily? Why not gift her an e-reader as a Mother’s Day gift? The two big brands are Amazon’s Kindle and Rakuten’s Kobo tablet. Kobo provides the larger range as compared to Kindle, and we do love how you can link up your Kobo to the OverDrive app that lets you borrow and download eBooks/audiobooks from the Singapore library. You can find ereaders easily on Amazon.sg and the nifty Kobo Nia (we can vouch for this as an awesome gift for partners and even older kids) costs as little as $151.
11. Personalised jewellery for a Mother’s Day gift
Personalised jewellery is definitely having a moment right now, and we love that they’re particularly great for gifting! Monica Vinader is a hot favourite, and there’s local brand Del Rio Jewels which has gorgeous sustainably made mama-themed bracelets and necklaces. Other brands we love are By Invite Only, SOAMI and Tiffany & Co.
12. Book a photography session as a Mother’s Day gift
Mums are often the ones taking the pics so why not gift mum a family photo session by a professional! Whether it’s a maternity shoot or family shoot, she’ll love to be able to look back on photos of that sweet mama-child bond. Scroll through our Guide to Family Photographers! If you have photos but haven’t gotten around to printing them yet – we also love the idea of putting together a photobook with messages – takes time but is so worth it!
13. Mother’s Day gift: personalised scented candles
For mums who love a fragrant home, scented candles make the perfect gift choice. With a plethora of scents available, there’s something to suit every mom’s taste or mood. Check out these ones from Misty Daydream, Sally’s Room and Oyasumi Scents! Some of these brands even allow you to personalise the candles with mum’s name, adding an extra layer of thoughtfulness!
14. Bling Mother’s Day gift: celebrate on a yacht
This Mother’s Day, why not book an experience as a Mother’s Day gift? Treat mum to a day out at sea with a yacht booking! Enjoy sunsets and star-lit dinners on an evening cruise or try a great variety of water sports with minimal hassle. We’ve got a great list of yacht charter options in Singapore here (some priced as low as $250!).

We’ve rounded up all our favourite high tea spots across the island, from high tea with amazing views to traditional, English-style high teas, to high teas with a cocktail kick, those that highlight local faves, vegetarian and gluten-free afternoon tea options, and even some dedicated kids’ high teas. Or for special Mother’s Day celebration menus, check out our roundup just for Mother’s Day lunches, high teas and dinners.
16. Mother’s Day gift: personalised family portrait
An illustration of a family photo or your favourite family moment is one of the best gifts for your mum, especially if you’re targeting her heartstrings. Some of our favourite illustrators are amazing at family portraits, and they will even include your four-legged family members too, ensuring no one gets left behind! Check out these illustrators – By Craft Room, illustrationby.lyd and starrymnl.
17. Mother’s Day gift of flowers
We’ve got a list of the best florists and flower shops in Singapore for you to flick over to the partner this Mother’s Day. We’ve even included some exclusive discounts for Mother’s Day gift flowers just for you! Pair this with some chocolates, and you’ll have the classic Mother’s Day gift!
18. Gift mum something homemade or an afternoon ‘off’
Sometimes something homemade (by the kids) or a heartfelt treat (like a whole afternoon off to have some me-time) is the best Mother’s Day gift of all (but also, throw in the flowers).
19. Mother’s Day gift: upgrade mum’s kitchen with new cookware
Let’s give it up for mama’s cooking — nothing quite compares, right? Show your appreciation by treating her to a fresh set of cookware! Okay, we reckon only get this gift if you know she’ll be excited about it (this idea could also backfire!) We absolutely love the cookware from Le Creuset, Midori, Cosmic Cookware and Neoflam! Their stylish and high quality sets not only elevate our cooking game but also add a touch of aesthetic to our kitchen!
No matter the gift this Mother’s Day, remember to give that amazing leading lady in your life a big hug and say I love you!
