Mother’s Day falls on the 8th of May this year. But if you haven’t planned anything for that day, don’t need to panic just yet. Here are seven ideas to tide you over.
1. Gift her the RWS Invites Attractions (S.E.A. Aquarium) membership
Get your mum the RWS Invites Attractions (S.E.A. Aquarium) membership for unlimited admission to the aquarium for a year. She’ll get to enjoy the calming environment, see over 100,000 marine animals all year round, plus enjoy dining privileges, complimentary parking and more.
And because it’s Mother’s Day, the aquarium has a SEAA Super-Mum programme to celebrate superheroine marine mothers from 7 May to 12 June. Perfect time to join your mum to learn about the lengths some of these fishes go to, to protect their young.
In addition, until 5 June, those who sign-up or renewal their membership can receive more than S$100 worth of gifts. Great timing, right?
2. Join her at a spa session
Here’s a chance for mother-family bonding time. For groups of three to six, ESPA’s Family Rejuvenation packages give your family access to its world-class spa service, facilities and a nutritious meal at the adjoining Tangerine restaurant.
Spend together time at the Onsen-style pool, kick back and chat within the relaxation lounge and even have treatments together in our suites that can accommodate all of you together.
For those who need a pick me up, get The Garden Suite Delight (S$230++ per pax) package for:
- 60-minute Personalised Massage or 60-min Facial
- Afternoon tea at Tangerine (closed on Monday, except on public holiday)
- Usage of Garden Suite including private steam
- ESPA Facilities Access (Full Day)
Call 6577 8880 or email ESPA@rwsentosa.com to reserve your space.

3. Upgrade her skincare routine
Give your mum’s skincare routine a boost with Missha’s premium oriental herbal Misa series targeted at mature skin. This anti-aging series contains more than 80 selected medicinal herbs from Dongeuibogam, a classic book on Korean traditional medicine.
You’ll find a Missha store at the RWS Waterfront, next to the Malaysian Food Street.

4. Get her a cake, or two
If your mum likes sweets, get her the Strawberry Angel Cake (S$67) from Cedele. The angel cake is a sponge cake made without butter and layered with strawberry balsamic puree and topped with strawberries.
Good thing about getting a cake is that you can have a slice too. Unless your mum plans to finish the whole thing on her own, which, in that case we suggest getting two cakes.

5. Buy her flowers
Flowers might be a tad cliché, but you can’t deny that people love them. And if you want something safe, flowers are great.
Carnations might be the flowers for Mother’s Day but why not surprise her with her favourite flowers, regardless of convention. Plus, it says you noticed what she likes.

6. Celebrate with a meal
Nothing says thank you like a good meal in great company. This Mother’s Day, you have a pick from five RWS restaurants, each with a unique menu for the occasion: FOREST 森, Tangerine, Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora, Feng Shui Inn and Starz Restaurant.
If you are planning an indulgent Sunday lunch, consider Forest 森’s 8-course set with 13 dishes by celebrity chef Sam Leong that’s sure to leave everyone satiated.
Call +65 6577 6688 or email dining@RWSentosa.com for more info and to reserve your seat.

Or if your mother loves fish and spicy food, head to Shu Jiang Grilled Fish at the RWS Waterfront.
The restaurant’s signature dish is grilled fish served on a special griller, with six sauces to choose from. Go for the Special Chef Spicy Sauce Served with Dried Chilli, Soya Bean & Peanut if your mum likes her food hot and spicy.

7. Accessories for mum
According to our unscientific ground survey, there is always space for new accessories, jewelleries and bags in a woman’s wardrobe. So why not get mum something elegant and classy?
There’s nothing that captures that more than pearls, essential additions in every woman’s jewellery box. Hence, we think mum would like the Swarovski’s unique Nude Necklace & Earring set (S$285), which combines high quality Crystal Pearls with clear crystal pavé, adding a subtle beauty to an elegant and feminine outfit. It’s quiet elegance makes it a nice fit for many occasions, whether for work or play.
Or gift her a new handbag. The Kate Spade New York Maise Bag in Lemonade Champagne (S$550) is a great gift for mum as it matches everything from jeans and a tee, to her favourite sundress. It’s an easy, breezy handbag that she can carry all year long in sunny Singapore.
Swarovski and Kate Spade New York are part of the retail stores found at Galleria Level 2, on a stretch between Festive Hotel and Hotel Michael. They include top international brands such as Vertu, Versace, Coach, Victoria’s Secret and more.
