What better way to brighten her day other than with the beauty of blossoming flowers; the fragrance alone is capable of soothing one’s weary soul. Of course, you could up your game with a gorgeous glass vase to hold on to for years to come.

Here’s a guide to Cairo’s best flower shops. 

Custom Made Mugs

Imagine waking up every day to your mom sipping her coffee from your Mother’s Day mug. It’s like a daily reminder of your love for her. Then make it even more special by taking her to Il Pennello Ceramic Cafe & Restaurant in Maadi or Heliopolis and painting the mug together. There’s no better bonding experience than that!

Bath Sets & Candles

With a variety of options, pick your mom’s favourite aroma and gift her a set of body lotions and self-care products. We all know how all mothers are deeply in need of some at-home relaxation, so grant her that by ordering from Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Giftopiia, or Amazon.

Mother-Daughter Spa Day

You could also make her feel even more special by giving her the full spa experience. Clear her tension through a relaxing massage and facials, or pamper her with a mani or pedi.

A luxurious spa such as the Fairmont Spa or Grand Nile Tower’s Royal Spa is the perfect place, or you can check out our favourite spots for a facial here.

Sparkling Jewellery

Jewellery shopping for moms is not as complicated as it sounds. You’ll always find a piece that best fits their style. When in doubt, make it sentimental. Buy her a World’s Best Mom Pandora charm, or use your initials or birthstones to dangle from a gold chain. If you’re up for it, get matching mother-daughter bracelets.

Kitchenware

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, cookware is definitely a mother’s. When it comes to kitchen gadgets, finding the perfect gift is a piece of cake. All you need to know is what she already has stashed away in the kitchen.

Home Decor

Mother’s Day mostly coincides with spring, and that’s when many mothers break out of their winter hibernation and start hosting get-togethers. With that said, it’s the perfect time for picking out new home decorations to amplify the ambience and spoil the one who deserves it most.
