Flowers and Gifts
While nothing beats spending time with mom on Mother’s Day, a gorgeous bouquet of her favourite flowers is always a sure-fire win. A hamper of her favourite chocolates or luxurious bath products offers a great alternative.
For the Tech Savvy Mom
If your Mom loves gadgets, a tablet or laptop paired with a lesson or two from you could be a very special gift. Help her set-up suitable Apps to support her interests and treasure the quality time you get to spend with her.
For Moms that Love to Cook
Spoil your chef extraordinaire with A Le Creuset Pot, new baking tins, a non-stick pan, pressure cooker or waffle maker. Yum.
Shopping Spree & Make-over
If your Mom is more likely to spend her money on you than herself, this would be an incredible treat! Take her shopping for a new outfit and throw in a spa treatment and lunch to top off the day.
Hot Air Balloon Flight
This gift is a little pricey at around R 2000 – R 2400 per person, but it’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience if you can afford it. The spectacular views and peaceful serenity of the balloon ride will usually be topped off with a breakfast, lunch or a picnic. Some great hot air balloon spots in South Africa are the Pilansberg Game Reserve, Rhino & Lion Nature reserve near Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the Drakensberg and Midlands near Durban.
Recipe Book Make-over
A thoughtful idea is to collect all the loose, scrap papers your Mom has collected over the years and bind them together in a special family recipe book.
Moms with Green Fingers
If your mom loves gardening, spend the day with her in the garden. Buy her new flowering plants and gardening tools, and help her plant the flowers to remind her of you.
A Game Drive
With Game Reserves all over South Africa, many of which include the Big Five, what better way to spoil your Mom than with a spectacular morning game drive followed by lunch or a picnic?
Lunch or Dinner Cruise
For those fortunate enough to live at the coast, this is a winning combo! Check out your local listings for tour operators and make sure you book early!
