Here are ten ideas to help make this Mother’s Day a memorable one:

1. Book an Art Jamming Session

Let your mum unwind with a relaxing art jamming experience. No artistic background is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to play with colour. It is a calming way to bond and create something beautiful together.

2. Create a Bespoke Perfume

Treat her to a custom fragrance workshop where she can blend essential oils to craft her own signature scent. It is a luxurious and personal gift that she will carry with her every day.

3. Enjoy a Beach Picnic

Pack a homemade lunch and head to the beach for a breezy, low-frills celebration. Add thoughtful touches like her favourite snacks, a picnic mat, and a handwritten note to make it special. If time or cooking is a concern, consider ordering picnic-ready meals from nearby beachside eateries for a fuss-free alternative.

4. Attend a Floral Arrangement Workshop Together

Sign up for a hands-on session where she can create her own bouquet. It is a refreshing change from the usual store-bought flowers, with the added joy of learning a new skill.

5. Go on a Heritage Trail

Explore one of Singapore’s many heritage districts, taking time to discover hidden gems, historical landmarks, museums, galleries and traditional treats. It is a gentle, meaningful way to spend time and reflect on stories of the past.

6. Take a Baking or Cooking Class Together

Bond over a shared love of food by enrolling in a hands-on culinary class. Choose from breadmaking, kueh crafting, or international cuisine workshops. You leave with new skills — and something delicious.

7. Try a Pottery or Ceramics Class

Book a beginner-friendly pottery class where you both can learn to mould clay into bowls, mugs, or keepsakes. The process is grounding, creative, and filled with laughter.

8. Prepare a Spa Night at Home

Light some candles, draw a warm bath, and treat her to a homemade spa night with face masks, tea, and calming music. Sometimes the best gifts are moments of rest.

9. Create a Memory Book Together

Spend the afternoon printing photos and gathering keepsakes to fill a book with memories. Include small handwritten notes or tokens that represent shared milestones.

10. Support Local Markets

Visit a weekend artisan market together and pick out something special. From handmade jewelry to scented candles, the experience of shopping small and discovering unique items adds a special touch.

This year, go beyond the standard gift. Thoughtful time spent together, paired with a dash of creativity and intention, can make all the difference!
