GIFT GUIDE: Practical customized pieces to give your mom this Mother's Day
Mother’s Day is the perfect month to spoil our beloved super mommas. With their unconditional love and care, they deserve only the best gift that will stay with them for a long time.
Moms' daily routines mostly revolve around their children. From preparing lunch boxes to fetching kids from school, cooking their loved ones' favorite dishes whenever they need a pick-me-up, and consoling them in the dark days, their care and love have always pushed us to move forward.
Want to give your mom something more than flowers and/or chocolates this time? Express your gratitude through these thoughtful and practical gifts she can enjoy regardless of the occasion.
Jewelry
From necklaces, bracelets, to rings, customized jewelry never goes out of style. These dainty pieces can hold a special part of you that you can bring wherever you go.
Nowadays, several stores on shopping apps are offering personalization services at more affordable prices, even as low as P156 for a non-tarnish bracelet to P790 for a double-sided engraved necklace. You can get custom jewelry with her name or engravings of her initials, a heartfelt phrase for her, or even a stencil of your favorite photo with your mom.
Bags
Other than jewelry, bags are the preferred gifts by moms. Add a little special detail on the bags with her stamped or painted name.
Straightforward offers stamping services as low as P50 per letter. You can get six free letters if you spend P3,000 and above. The service is available in stores at SM San Lazaro, Vertis North, Glorietta 1, and Ayala Central Bloc Cebu, and online.
If you opt for something different, The Leather Studio offers hand-painted monograms for only P200 for one inch. They also offer hand-painted pet portraits. Learn more about it here.
Wine labels
For your Mother’s Day dinner celebration, set up the mood with a nice bottle of wine with heartfelt or funny labels on it. You Label Whore offers wines for as low as P599 with customized wine with prices ranging from P150 to P300. For liquor like soju, scotch, and beers, customized text is free using their template.
Dinnerware, kitchenware
For moms who love to cook, gifting them a nice dinnerware or kitchenware is one of the best choices to make them feel loved and appreciated for every hearty meal they serve.
You may get them dinner plates with an engraving of their name or name initials, or a nice wooden chopping board.
Care package
If you want to pamper your mom but, on a budget, give her a special care box to add to her self-care essentials. Grazias Gift PH offers a special gift box for only P650 that comes with a wooden hairbrush and perfume, which you can customize with her name engravings, aroma massage balm, pure essential oil roller, with a gift tag and gift card.
