And just like that, we’re almost at the halfway point of the year. In due time, the sartorial-forward set will call upon the most heat-tempered ensembles and luxury houses will begin to host their destination cruise shows in exciting locales across the globe. But first, a crucial occasion is well within sight—Mother’s Day is on the horizon.
Cue some seemingly tedious tasks that might involve making a reservation at the most buzzy dining spots in town or the prep work that goes into those grand plans to dole out a homemade feast for the evening. Surely, the matter of ensuring that mummy dearest is pampered to no end on that day is a pertinent one and a multitude of options are at your mercy. Some might intend to have the matriarchs of your household treated to a timely execution of some breakfast-in-bed, or a luxurious spa treatment that will soothe her soul. Whilst others understand that the true comfort lies in letting her go about her day exactly as she pleases—her ‘responsibilities’ become yours for the day, so she can frolic her own hours away.
Yet there’s no rebutting that the final touch—and potentially the most important one—lies in your chosen gift; a considered package that goes to show how much you appreciate her. Sincerity is of course most deeply conveyed when such gifts are teamed with a handwritten note, but it is the process of choosing an appropriate gift that truly tests your understanding of what she needs in her life. Whilst homeware-centric options might certainly come in handy if you know what she needs, there is no better time than the time-honoured occasion to actually give your mum the gift of luxury. That might mean spoiling her sweet with aesthetic and stylish additions to her wardrobe—ones you might have otherwise found her simply pining for, but never purchasing for herself.
Considering the sometimes-daunting task of choosing a gift is a tall order in itself, Vogue Singapore is here to help you out. Below, a certified curation of the most style-forward and luxurious gifts to consider for the various matriarchs in your lives ahead of Mother’s Day this year.
