Most families I know of, including mine, would usually gather together for a nice meal with the family for a get-together. But besides having a meal, there are tons of other things we can do, especially if you are looking to pamper your mothers this Mother's Day month. So how about doing something different this round without breaking the bank?

With Mother’s Day around the corner, here are some ideas on how to make this year’s celebration a memorable and unique one.
1. Breakfast In Bed
Pamper your mother this weekend with a breakfast in bed to thank her for always cooking for you and making sure that you get to enjoy all your favorite dishes. This time round, don on the apron and prepare something delightful for her. You do not need to be a master chef to come up with a delicious breakfast; you can always stick to the basics like coffee with French toast. If you are still afraid of burning down the kitchen then why not order through FoodPanda or Deliveroo and present the breakfast in a nice tray to surprise your mom?
2. Bring Mom Shopping
When was the last time you saw your mom splurge on herself instead of spending money on the household and her children? If you see your mother still using the same old handbag and shoes, which she has been using for the past 10 years then maybe it is time, you brought her out shopping together. Do not let her know that you are going to bring her on an all-expenses paid shopping spree because she might start nagging about wasting money. Just bring her out and if she shows interest in something, you can always buy it for her on the spot. Meanwhile, shopping together is also a great time for bonding too.
3. Pamper Mom With Spa
Why should couple spa rooms be for “lovey-dovey” couples only when you can bring mom to enjoy a pampering spa session together. If mom is not up for it then you could bring her for a nice manicure and pedicure session too. You could also consider even a foot reflexology session if she is more comfortable with that. The main thing is to treat mom like a superstar and let her have a day off to enjoy herself.
4. Attend Workshop With Mom
Make memories with mom by attending a workshop together of her favorite hobby. Does mom like to garden, make homemade beauty products or cook? There are many one day workshops and classes that you can find in Singapore and some are also payable with the government SkillsFuture credits so you could use the money saved to take mom out for a nice meal after the lesson.
5. Makeover For Mom
Book a makeover for mom and have glamour shoots taken together for keepsakes. The photos would make great memorable gifts themselves and enjoying a photo shoot session together creates opportunity to bond as well. If budget is an issue then you can make this a DIY project by helping mom with makeup while getting your budding photographer sibling to capture her beauty through the lens. There are also several beauty and camera apps available on the mobile photo to take pictures that can easily pass off as professionally taken too.
