Every 2nd week of May, Mother’s day is celebrated worldwide. If you are still thinking of what to give, my top 10 best gifts might help:
10. Text message or Call. As they say, “it’s the thought that counts”. This is the most common way (and the cheapest, hehe) of greeting our dear mom, especially if you’re miles away with her. A simple text message to your mom telling her how much you love her is deeply appreciated. But hearing your voice will make the day.
9. Flowers. A bouquet of flowers will make your Mom smiles and hugs you.
8. Cake. Red Ribbon offers two special cakes for this special occasion – Mother’s Delight and Sweet Surprise. You can order the cakes at any of its bakeshop nationwide.
7. Treat her to a Salon. Nowadays, a salon offers variety of services from head to toe. You can treat her to a haircut or hair color, facial spa, body massage or scrub, foot spa and many others.
6. Make her feel like a child again. Treat mom at Enchanted Kingdom. Her entrance is free if you join the “I Love Mom Promo.” She can also get 20% off on EK Day Passes on all weekends of May. Visit for details.
5. Let Mom learns new unique recipes. Mall of Asia offers “My Mama’s Kitchen” where expert chefs will cook unique recipes on May 11, 2008. Araneta Center also has “Cooking with Mom” at 3 pm.
4. Watch concert together. Indulge her with smooth music at Shangri-La Plaza. At 7 pm, a repertoire of hits and classics will be performed by The Company.
3. Buy her a new bag or wallet. Moms will love a Gucci wallet or a Coach bag (Damn, I also love to have a new one!). Just make sure it’s original. It will hurt your pocket though, but it’s worth to give! =) 
2. Have her a copy of Oprah’s book choice. Oprah Winfrey’s newest book choice, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, is authored by Eckhart Tolle. It has Tolle’s teachings on how to become your best self through present moment awareness and dismantling of the ego.
1. You. The best gift to mom is YOURSELF. Showing your love and appreciation to mom is way better than any other gift that one could think of. Hug and kiss her, it will definitely make her tear-eyed.
Happy Mother’s day to all moms out there! Especially to my Mama and my friends! :)
