As promised, here are a few great gift ideas for Mom this Mother’s Day 🙂
I consider my mom as my “rock”, especially after my Dad passed away 8 years ago. I am so lucky to have someone like her because really, when all else in my life fails, I have her to turn to, and she is always there to provide sensible insights into life in general, and my life in particular. She is really a gem. And if you feel the same way about your mom, make sure she gets the best this Mother’s Day 🙂 This is the one day we can show her our appreciation, and the one day that she can be gifted with something really special 🙂 So don’t scrimp on mom, she deserves only the best 🙂 After all, without her, there won’t be you!
Here’s my top pick. A beautiful necklace from Daphne Oseña Paez

The 14k gold pendant you see there is very intricately- made piece. The enamel pendant is hand- painted with Our Lady Queen of Angels. It’s a very unusual enamel pendant, the first time actually that I’ve seen Daphne come up with this one. (Carnelian bead necklace is sold separately). For more information about this exquisite piece, call (632) 890-9011. Also check out www.daphneosena.com for more of Daphne’s designs.
If not a necklace, go for a healing bracelet! Made by Rodina Chua- Velasco, these healing bracelets are wired in 10k gold, and made of semi- precious stones. Check out what stone is good for your mom (you can choose the stone according to her zodiac sign/ animal sign)
And they are available at Accessory Lab (www.accessorylab.com) 😀
One of the easiest “no- brainer” gifts to give Mom is a bottle of perfume– but make sure it’s a good one! Eternity (my all time fave scent for men) just came out with Eternity Summer for Women!
With opening notes of grapefruit, ginger, passionflower, this fragrance then dives into a heavenly bouquet of pink peony, freesia, and muguet before closing off with creamy musks, white amber, and driftwood. This scent perfectly captures the essence of a beach at day break and is bottled into a watery floral fragrance. Sounds like a mouthful eh? But just take a whiff of it, close your eyes. It’s really lovely, and your mom will love it, guaranteed! SRP is about Php 4,598.
And if mommy wants to feel young again, this is the fragrance I recommend– CKin2U Heat. Another wonderful summery scent which has notes of guava, apricot fizz, and raspberry (I loove!). It’s amazingly refreshing and really makes for that perfect summer fragrance!
Priced at just Php 3,698.
Both CK fragrances are distributed by Lux Asia and are available at leading department stores and boutiques nationwide now. (They just got released this May!!)
Now, if your mom is like my mom, then I’m very sure she will enjoy luxurious duvets and sheets from Dwell Studio. I’ve considered myself a fan of this brand after I had bought my first set, and had slept on it 🙂
Here’s a personal favorite called Chinoiserie.
It’s almost zen- like, clean- looking, and simple without being bland. After all, you do need a little color in your room, right? 🙂 Love those Audubon birds! Your mom will undoubtedly appreciate this style the best!
Another style I’d easily pick out for mom– Hedge Row. Love the foliage design on white. It’s striking, but at the same time, it does not overpower. This design would perfectly go with her other white sheets. 🙂
But if your Mommy wants bed sheets, I suggest something from the Spring Summer collection of Dwell Studio which has just been made available recently at Rustan’s. My top pick is called “Pin Dot” 🙂
Reminds me of the luxe sheets of a modern 5 star hotel, only much better 🙂 Your mom will definitely have a good night’s sleep in these sheets every night 🙂 Imagine, 320- 400 thread count of 100% pure Egyptian cotton. Luxurious!! 🙂
And here’s something for the new mommies/ mommies-to-be out there– because after all, it’s Mommy who gets to enjoy these (if only babies could talk, they would too :D). New daddies/ daddies-to-be, pay attention, please 🙂
