Mother's Day is just days away! Have you gotten mum anything special?

1. Orchids

While a bouquet of flowers is sweet and great for Instagram, if your mother is a true horticulturist, buying her orchids is the way to go. It represents classic beauty, a great accent for any room in the house, and is meant to survive more than a week in the living room.

2. Restored Old Photos

Before the age of social media, a lot of our mothers’ youthful photos were captured by film. A very personal gift idea is to have an old childhood photo of your mom digitally restored and framed.

3. Massage Chair

Give back in a big way with a luxurious massage chair. You know that it is not even close to the years of being a headache for your mom. If you can spare it, this massage chair let’s her get her daily relaxation at the comfort of your own home.

4. An impromptu trip

Since Mother's Day falls on a long weekend, it's a good time to take your mum on a trip to the beach or a neighbouring country. An escape from every day reality might just be what mum needs to completely unwind.

5. Home video

The best gifts don't require you to spend a single peso. Get cracking with your camera and gather messages of love and support from family and friends, compile them in a little video, and play it for mum on the big day. Sometimes, a simple "I love you" is enough.
