Mommy's day out!

Mother’s Day is around the corner. Get the best possible gift to charm your guardian angel this year.

The big day to pamper your mom and let her know how much you love and respect her is here. On the occasion of Mother’s Day, May 12th, restaurants, stores and all kinds of service providers have come out with special products and schemes to help you shock her pleasantly. Metrolife sifts through them and gets you the best ideas to woo her off her feet.

If you wish to do it traditionally, you can, of course, go in for the time-tested gift - clothing. Considering the hot summer, you can go in for free flowing cotton tops, pastel dresses, tunics for office and casual day-offs. Various clothing brands have come up with nice collections.

However, if your mom prefers suits and sarees, look for pieces in summer-friendly cotton, silk, georgette, chiffon and tissue. You can pick your choice of saree/suit from countless stores across the city. Make sure it is colourful and nicely embroidered to pep up your mom.

With clothes, one definitely needs to choose the right jewellery. While nice ethnic jewellery is also available online, you can also find some stylish, traditional and contemporary designs at Kucha Mahajani, Chandni Chowk. These include earrings, neck pieces, bracelets, brooches and rings.

Of course, mom has to have a nice bag when stepping out. So get her a head-turning handbag or clutch. Royal-looking jewellery boxes and drawers are other options for her when she has to store her pretty jewels.

Moms work all year-round and can certainly do with a little bit of hair and body care on Mother’s Day. Different spas and women’s salon’s have come up with signature facial, pedicure, a rose body polish and full-body massage at discounted rates.

Also, mom can get a respite from cooking with almost all restaurants coming up with innovative dishes and heavy discounts on Mother’s Day. Uber Lounge is holding a Mother’s Day special brunch and you can decide all that goes into the menu. The Pink Room at Hauz Khas has designed some special mocktails for mums and is also providing flat 20 per cent off on all cuisines.

Want to make the occasion further special for her? Get her a life-size greeting card and a singing quartet. Fisher-Price is hosting an event at Hamleys Store, DLF Place, Saket, where you can convert your Mother’s Day message into a special song with a live band adding magic to your wishes. For sure, mommy can’t ask for more!
