1. For the Moms Who Are Heroes
If your mother is a hero to you be it with her selflessness or spunk, Chanel’s Mother’s Day 2023 activities will be one of the best beauty gifts for her. Match your mother’s character to a fragrance—Gabrielle ($280) for the unconventional or Cristalle ($225) for the classic—and if you’re a mother, pick something nice for yourself while your kids can participate in activities like Spot the Difference or Colouring and Connecting the Dots.

3. For the Moms With a Classic Style

4. For the Moms With a Healthy Appetite
Mothers with an appetite that is as healthy as the one they have for beauty will appreciate the Sign Skin seafood afternoon collaboration with The Westin Singapore’s Lobby Lounge, a 12-course with delectable treats like lobster Thermidor, slipper lobster with mayonnaise, and sweet treats like chocolate cookies and chia seed pudding. As for the skincare portion of your party, the first 100 bookings will receive a skincare kit worth $43.
5. For the Low Maintenance Moms
For moms who have a low-maintenance skincare routine, you might want to help them stock up on Paula’s Choice products which are efficacious as they are efficient in use. This time around, the American brand has a 20% off their best formulas with a complimentary Youthful Radiance Pack worth $94 with every $120 minimum spend. With a set containing sunscreen, mask, and eye cream: that’s basically mom’s half of her morning routine.
6. For Moms Who Already Have Everything
If your mom already has everything and purchasing her a gift is proving perplexing, consider the Aesop Mimamori (Japanese for someone who tends to watch over and protect others) gift set ($135) that contains a body cleanser, body balm, and hand balm. The reason? Firstly, nobody will reject one of the most aesthetically pleasing brands when gifted it and secondly, if your mom truly has everything, there’s a high chance she’ll need a refill of these most-wanted products.
