We know our mums love us unconditionally, whether we give her an extravagant Mother’s Day gift or not. But even though she may nag, “aiya don’t need any present lah, just give me a grandchild,” it’s still nice to let the incredible woman in your life know how special she is by planning something equally unique.
Although the yearly ‘wine and dine’ plan is the safest option by default, it’s not often you’ll find these 8 unconventional events for mum, just for May 2017.
Bouquets are beautiful albeit expensive. But if you want something more unique, create your own personalised “painting” with preserved flowers and mixed media. Limzy, an artist known for her “unconventional yet relatable art direction”, will be there to guide you and your mum. Light refreshments will also be provided.
