In Hong Kong, Mother’s Day is celebrated in May, this year on 12th May. British expat mums are lucky, they get to double-down on the spoils of Mother’s Day. They deserve it! We are all probably guilty of taking Mum for granted from time to time, so Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to remind her that we really do know how fabulous she is. Here are some Mother’s Day gift ideas that might help mum know how much you love her.
For bookworm mums
Is your mum a bookworm? We’ve found a beautiful gift for mums that are avid readers. TREE has just released a series of petrified wood bookends and they’re gorgeous. Each set has undergone a process where the wood’s cellular composition is slowly replaced with inorganic materials, transforming it into a hardened fossil with a beautifully petrified effect. Mum will love them.

Take her for brunch
This city is teeming with amazing brunches and Mother’s Day is no different. After you’ve made her breakfast in bed, treat her to a brunch she’ll remember. DiVino Group (Spasso, DiVino Patio, Carpaccio) are saluting the most special women in the world with food, drink, gifts and love aplenty. Mums will be gifted with a Toni & Guy complimentary hair or scalp treatment voucher valued at HK$680 and they’ll be a Toni & Guy lucky draw prize too. You could really make mum’s day! Read our full list of great brunches here.
Really comfy and super stylish chinos
Tove & Libra’s two-way stretch Pull-on Slim Chinos (HK$550) have become quite the must-have among Hong Kong women. These pants are great for day-to-night wear, the fabric is forgiving and supportive in all the right places. Plus, this minimalist brand has a worthy sustainability approach – they’re a home-grown Hong Kong fashion story we should all get behind.

A bag made from recycled plastic bottles

The APAC-Exclusive TUMI Recycled Capsule collection is available in selected TUMI retail stores and online at TUMI-HK.com. They’re priced from HK$2,390 to HK$4,390.
Beauty treatments she’ll love
Does your mum deserve some pampering? She might enjoy a massage with a difference at The Mandarin Spa. From now until the end of July guest therapists, Khun Serm and Khun Chalisa, from the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok will be in town performing two culturally unique Thai treatments – Muay Thai Massage and Thai Warrior Massage. They are both priced at HK$1,800 on weekdays and HK$2,040 on weekends (subject to a 10% service charge).
Mum + Me fashion
If your mum loves to match her little mini-me, then she might love the elegant Bonpoint Paris collection. Some of the range is designed so sophisticated urban women and their little ones can match outfits. Cutest!
