1. Brunch in bed

2. An out-of-town trip (and new gear to match!)

Take her out on vacation! After two years spent mostly cooped up indoors, your mum will definitely appreciate some time away from the city, especially if it’s quality time with you.

You can also ensure she travels light and easy with reliable gear from RIMOWA. Available in vibrant shades, the suitcases in the Essential Cabin Collection are both lightweight and stylish, making them the ideal travel companion.

3. New jewels

There’s nothing like the way jewellery can make one feel like a queen. Celebrate your mum with the Mother’s Day selection from Swarovski, which boasts an exquisite range of pendants, earrings, bracelets, eyewear, and more pieces as unique as every mother out there. When it comes to bold finery for the most regal mums out there, the Millenia collection features radiant crystals in captivating rainbow hues.

4. Wrist candy

If your mum’s the type to opt for more functional accessories, then an elegant timepiece is the way to go. The graceful Constellation Small Seconds watch from Omega is the perfect fusion of expert watchmaking and jewellery craftsmanship. Featuring a mother-of-pearl dial, 11 diamond hour markers, and a diamond-paved subdial at six o’clock, it securely wraps around the wrist with a beige leather strap and is the perfect addition to her collection. 

For an understated everyday watch, Grand Seiko’s SBGW283 is a delicate beauty with its light blue dial inspired by the sky and seasons, a silver steel case, and a black crocodile leather bracelet.

Does your mum love flowers? On top of the quintessential bouquet, think of the Jour d'Hermès Absolu Eau de Parfum as a profusion of flowers your mum can enjoy for a long time. At once mellow, sensual, and ultra-feminine, this irresistible fragrance from Hermès is marked by alluring gardenia and sambac jasmine notes and is perfectly underscored by velvety apricot blossom.
