Amazing things to do for Mother’s Day

1. Try a jewellery-making class

For a personal and memorable experience, sign up for a jewellery-making class with Mum. Places such as Floral Knots and Hands On Klay offer a range of classes where participants can design and craft their own pieces, from elegant necklaces to bold rings, under the guidance of skilled artisans. It’s a great way to spend quality time together while learning a new craft, and you’ll both leave with a one-of-a-kind piece to cherish.

2. Take a stroll through rows of beautiful blooms

For a special one-on-one time with mummy dearest, take her out to one of the city’s prettiest spots for a stroll. Gardens by the Bay is home to a myriad of beautiful floral exhibitions, including the current Tulipmania that’s blooming from now till May 17, 2025. This year’s edition of the annual display features rows of vibrant tulips and life-sized replicas of Türkiye’s iconic landmarks, including the Trojan Horse. Take this opportunity to capture beautiful photos with Mum.

3. Book a staycation

If Mum’s in need of a break, a staycation might just do the trick. T treat her to a night or two at one of Singapore’s standout hotels – including QT Singapore which was recently named one of the world’s greatest places, Artyzen Singapore, The Barracks Hotel and The Standard. It’s a quick escape from the daily grind, with all the perks of a getaway minus the airfare.

4. Attend a floral arrangement class

Getting Mum a bouquet of blooms is a great idea – and there are plenty of reliable flower delivery services in Singapore to sort that out. But if she’s the hands-on type, a floral arrangement workshop might be a better option. She’ll get to let her creative juices flow as she crafts her own bouquet, plus bring home a fresh centrepiece for the dining table. For a bouquet that lasts forever, take her to the Lego Mother’s Day Pop-up at the Lego Store in Suntec City. From May 10 to 12, visitors can build and take home a rose and daisy set, and there’s a chance to receive a free LEGO rose stalk at 3pm on May 10 and 11.

5. Indulge in a scrumptious Mother’s Day feast

If cooking isn’t your forte, then take Mum out for a scrumptious meal at one of the city’s best restaurants. Some of these restaurants offer special Mother’s Day set menus for a limited time only, where promotions include freebies for Mum.

6. Hike with the fam

If your mum is the outdoorsy sort, plan a simple hike with the whole fam on Mother’s Day. Singapore’s got nothing short of gorgeous hiking trails, including the popular Rail Corridor and newly opened Mandai Boardwalk. There’s nothing like scenic views, fresh air and a spot of nature to perk up everyone’s mood.

7. Have a pampering session at the spa

Mummy dearest deserves to be treated like royalty for all the hard work she has done. Pamper her with a full day at the spa, complete with long massages, aromatherapy, wraps, facials, and more to put her mind and body in rest and relaxation mode. Top it all off and check mum into a hair salon for a new do, scalp treatment, and blowouts to keep her spirits up.

8. Have heartfelt chats over afternoon tea

There are plenty of afternoon tea experiences in Singapore, including an adorable Peter Rabbit-themed one at Skai and a special Mother’s Day one-day-only Bottomless Afternoon Tea at the Marmalade Pantry from just $98 for two pax. Enjoy pots of fresh hot tea, and savoury and sweet snacks over long, meaningful conversations with mum this weekend. Think plenty of scones, tarts, clotted cream, sandwiches, pies, macarons and more.

9. Go on a shopping spree

The struggle to find the right gift for Mum can be solved with a simple solution – take her on a shopping spree and let her choose what she wants. It’s a great option for mums who love browsing the racks, and you can also pick out matching pieces for a coordinated look. For those looking to treat Mum to something luxurious without breaking the bank, head to 2nd Street – a popular Japanese thrift store offering pre-loved luxury items in excellent condition at accessible prices.
