    IT’S that time of year to honour all the incredible women in your life – your mother, your grandmother and/or the mother of your kids (and fur kids). Here are some gift ideas to show your profound love and appreciation for all that they’ve done for you.

    Beautiful blooms

    Surprise her with a particularly unique composition of flowers that’s a cut above the predictable, uninspired bouquets. This Humid House has been the go-to designer florist for the discerning. Its Mother’s Day collection includes the Poundcake, which tantalises the eyes and nose (and almost the lips) with lemony carnations, sunny marigolds and buttery orchids, calling to mind the pleasures of freshly baked pound cake. (Price: S$420.) There’s also the Wallpaper, a distinctive bouquet of spray carnations, wax flowers and glossy foliage to evoke vintage wallpaper and 1960s nostalgia. (Price: S$290.)

    Wonderland Botanicals also offers unusual floral arrangements for one-of-a-kind mums. There’s the tranquil Dove vase arrangement, a Mother’s Day special with white calla lilies and hyacinths to honour mum’s maternal love, wisdom and patience throughout the years. (Price: S$178.) If she has a penchant for bright things, opt for the Canary vase arrangement, a happy composition of yellow cymbidiums and orange pincushions. (Price: S$198.)
