Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
We have a lot to be thankful for in our lives. Our mothers are one of those things. From the time we were born to the time we graduated from uni to getting our first new home, our moms have always been there for us as our well-wishers and cheerleaders.
Mother’s Day (countries like Australia, Canada and the United States etc) is coming up soon! Choosing the absolute perfect gift for mom can sometimes be a challenge because the gift must be perfect! What do you buy for someone who already has it all? Another set of jammies? Lotion or perfume? Mother’s tend to have a great deal of lotions, perfumes, pajama sets, and slippers. Chances are that your mom doesn’t need any more of that stuff. This article will provide five gift ideas that would be perfect to give to mom on Mother’s Day, her birthday, or any holiday for that matter.
Need to send flowers to your family or friends overseas? Not sure which website to use? For over 10 years, FloraQueen has overseen delivery of gorgeous flowers to people in over 90 countries around the world with their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Having looked through their website, their flowers are very affordable and elegant. Besides ordering flowers for your loved ones, you could also add a box of chocolates , a card, vase, teddy bear, ribbon, flower food and even wine on top of that! I love the convenience of having one site to be able to send flowers internationally, especially as my family and friends are all over the world!
This coming Mother’s Day, I decided to bake and make this mini Cake Bouquet. I have a sweet tooth and I can eat cake all day long. This is perfect as a Mother’s Day gift or even breakfast with tea!
Since becoming a mother, I feel thrilled to celebrate this day together with my mother too. The cynics will say it is too commercialised but I do think that we, as mothers, should have a proper day to appreciate what we do for our children!
I came across MoonPig’s website and selected this beautiful bath set to pamper myself. Inside this bath set, it comes with Beau Jardin bathing flowers, Beau Jardin body lotion, Beau Jardin bath essence and a Lily Flame ‘Bathing Beauty’ large scented candle. This fabulous bath set contains everything you need to relax and drift away. The delicate, rose-perfumed bathing flowers transform the bath into a thing of beauty. What a fabulous indulgent treat!
This coming Mother’s day (15th March 2015), why not try to make a home-made card with your children. It is fun and also a lovely personal touch. Last week, while I was tidying my drawer I found an old magazine (Practical Parenting & Pregnancy) from March 2013. Flipping through the magazine, I found this Let’s Make section where they show how to make a tulip card. This craft idea is from Little Children’s Book of Things to Do from Usborne.
