Mother's Day 2020

Prior to the announcement of the extended circuit breaker, most of us might have been looking forward to bringing our mums out for a good meal or pampering her with a well-deserved floral bouquet or spa retreat; still #stayathome doesn’t mean having to throw our Mother’s Day plans out of the window entirely. With some creativity and effort, you can definitely still make Mother’s Day 2020 a special and memorable day for mum whether you are near or far!

Cook a Mother’s Day meal

Our mums put in their heart, sweat and time preparing wholesome meals for us most every day to keep our tummies full and our hearts warm. On Mother’s Day, why not take over the chef’s hat for a day to whip up some yummy and delicious dishes for mum and your family? Even if you are someone who seldom cooks or steps into the kitchen, there are plenty of online resources from recipes to cooking videos that can provide you with culinary inspirations for your Mother’s Day Stay Home Gourmet menu.

After you have whipped up a great meal, consider bringing the restaurant experience to her by setting up the table nicely, and everyone can dress up for the occasion too!
Some sites that offer great recipe ideas include:

• Allrecipes.com
• themeatmen.sg
• YouTube cooking channels: Apron, Kathrine Kwa, 美食foodvideo

Start experimenting a few days before so you’ll be well prepared when Mother’s Day comes!

How about #spafacialathome or #massageathome?

- Facial cleanser

Here's a home spa video we found on YouTube which provide helpful tips on how to DIY your home spa for Mother’s Day.

Help around the house

Put on your cleaning cap and take on the household chores for the day so Mum gets to put her feet up and just relax for the day. While it might not seem the most fun or glamorous thing to do on Mother’s Day, such acts of service goes a long way to show mum your devotion, love and care!

DIY a Heartfelt Gift for Mum

Be honest. When was the last time, you’ve DIY-ed a gift for mum? Whether in the form of a handmade card, handmade self-assembled bouquet or a bar of homemade soap?

With all the time we are spending at home during #circuitbreaker, this may just be the best time to exercise our creativity and sincerity by putting our hands to work to make mum a gift from your heart!

Some DIY gift ideas:
A handmade card,
- Home Baked Treats e.g. cookies, scones, brownies, any treats your mum fancies
- DIY a floral bouquet,
- Cross-stitch

If you don’t know how, you could even try asking the superwoman in your life for some help – we’re pretty sure Mum wouldn’t mind chipping in to help make her gift and you can spend some quality time bonding with each other through this little project as well.

Order from her favourite restaurant

Many restaurants offer takeaway and delivery options, so be sure to please mum’s taste buds by ordering from her favourite restaurant with just a few taps on your phone; so even though you aren’t there with your mum physically, you can still warm her heart and tummy with your thoughtful gesture!

How about sending her a surprise gift?

We all feel loved and special when we receive surprise deliveries. If you are planning to send mum a bouquet for Mother’s Day, do be sure to place your order with florists who are able to fulfil deliveries during this circuit breaker period.

Do a video call with Mum on Mother’s Day
