GIFT GUIDE: Mother's Day presents you can give to mom based on love languages
Moms have all sorts of ways to show their love for you, whether it be planting kisses on your face, cooking your favorite meals whenever you're craving them, or even scolding you when you need to learn a lesson.
Which is why this Mother's Day, it's only right to return the favor by giving them gifts that are based on the love language that they show most to you. According to Baptist pastor Gary Chapman in his book, there are five different ways of expressing and receiving love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
Read on for ideas on what to give your mom:
If mom likes words of affection
Let's start the list with the first love language: Words of affirmation. From the word itself (no pun intended), this is when a person shows their love through spoken words, compliments, encouraging text messages, and more.
Ben and Bart has a perfect gift for you with their so-called "Personalized Figguri Frame." The display features a handcrafted miniature figurine inside a small glass frame with a personalized text background, making it a great keepsake for any occasion.
You can purchase the display through their website, where you will be asked to upload your reference photo for the personalized figurine as well as your desired text. This heartfelt keepsake costs P1,800.
If mom likes quality time
If you feel like you haven't been spending much quality time with mom lately due to school or work, then Mother's Day is ideal to make up for lost time.
Hotel Rosemarie is offering a promo where you can treat mom to a staycation and give her a well-earned break at a 15% discount. All you have to do is book a 24-hour stay from May 6 to 11, valid for walk-ins and direct reservations only.

If mom likes receiving gifts
For moms who feel most loved through tangible tokens of appreciation, gifts aren’t just things—they’re heartfelt symbols of thoughtfulness and care. Whether the item is something luxurious or personalized matters not as long as it comes from the heart.
Let's make things a bit traditional by getting mom a flower gift set from Flower Chimp Philippines. The store is offering a variety of special bouquets in celebration of Mother's Day.
One item you can get her is the "Best Mom Gift Set," which features a heartfelt bouquet of carnations, disbuds, statice, and eucalyptus alongside 16 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a star-shaped balloon, and a heartfelt “Best Mom Ever” greeting card.
It's a thoughtful bundle made to honor her love, strength, and endless support. You can get it for P2,899.
If mom likes thoughtful gestures
The title "Ilaw ng Tahanan" isn't given to moms for no reason, you know, as they naturally bring warmth and comfort to their family by prioritizing their well-being and doing all sorts of things to make life easier.
This Mother's Day, it's time to direct all acts of service towards her. What's good about this is you don't have to spend any money.
You can simply repay her kindness through simple things like cooking her favorite meals, surprising her with a clean house, setting up a DIY home spa, and more.
If mom likes physical affection
Nothing feels better than being hugged by your mom, especially on a bad day. Apart from giving her a tight and loving embrace to mark Mother's Day, you can also gift her some items that revolve around comfort, warmth, and closeness.
For instance, Comfort Living PH offers premium pillows that can give your mom comfort for all sleep positions. It also promotes proper neck and back alignment to reduce tossing and turning for back, stomach, and side sleepers.
It's also made with Memory Foam technology that can relieve several sleeping issues such as snoring, insomnia, migraines, neck and back pain, and allergies. You can get this for P3,999.
