If you didn’t already know, Mother’s Day will be taking place on 12 May, Sunday which is just around the corner. This is the perfect time to celebrate Mum and/or maternal figures in your life to show your appreciation. 

But, thinking about what type of gifts to get them on their special day can be difficult, especially since they deserve the best of the best (rightfully so). 

To help you from wracking your brain further, here are 10 personalised gifts for Mother’s Day including interactive workshops, personalised bouquets, and unique gifts so that you can become the favourite child (or so we hope).

1. Skin and Body Treatments

For Mums who wish to unwind and relish in well-deserved pampering specially made for you, consider Skinscape — an established aesthetic wellness clinic that integrates complementary treatments with conventional aesthetics medicine. 

This includes a Face Lift through HIFU (S$880) AKA high intensity focused ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten loose skin and reduce wrinkles. 

Alternatively, the Synergy Facial (S$120) which uses the Eve Synergy Radiofrequency device can lift, tighten, and brighten the skin. 

Those looking to rock that slim waistline and shed body weight fast without working out, do consider the ReduStim Trial (S$300 for 3 sessions). 

This Mother’s Day 2024, give the gift of healthy ageless skin and overall body wellness with these curated treatments that all mothers will appreciate.

2. Perfume Workshop

If your Mum is the type to enjoy unique scents or fragrances, Oo La Lab is the perfect gift as they offer DIY perfume making workshops and products. 

Treat your Mum to the Mother’s Day Fragrance Design & Mixology Session (S$118) for 90 mins where you can specially customise your own bespoke handcrafted Eau de Parfum with over 20 niche and timeless fragrances to choose from.

As this workshop is in collaboration with Luna Cafe, they will also be serving artisanal desserts like Citrus Tart and Luna 2.0 alongside your choice of tea.

The Rosaria bouquet (starts from S$129) comes with a vibrant mix of hot pink and orange roses to symbolise admiration and gratitude for a mother’s love. 

Besides that, the classic and sweet Sweet Charlotte bouquet (starts from S$129) with flowers like pink roses and peach eustoma flowers can do no wrong.

6. Health Supplements

Although health supplements may seem like a more practical gift compared to the others, it is commonly overlooked yet equally important. 

Moom Health has natural supplements that are halal-certified, free from gluten and sugar, and so much more. 

I can totally see the de/bloat (S$43.90) supplement being a favourite for those always facing bloating issues after a big meal — it contains a blend of herbs and fruit-based digestive enzymes to aid digestion.

The sleep/well (S$37.30) supplement can be a life-saver for restless nights as it uses a low-dose of melatonin and specific herbs so you can sleep longer and faster. Gift this to Mum who deserves quality rest after always being there for us. 

Show off your love for your Mum by getting her Moom Health — quote “MOOMXCG15” to get 15% off your first online purchase not including bundles or merchandise until Dec 2024.

But there are some brands that can never go wrong — like the beloved Magnum ice cream with its crackly chocolate outer coating and the smooth and creamy sweet treat underneath. 

Now, the brand is going to make you the sweet treat with their new limited-time only perfume mixology workshop in collaboration with Oo La Lab. Running from 14 November to 13 December 2022, this special workshop will allow you to concoct your own perfume inspired by various limited-edition Magnum ice cream-inspired scents and notes. 

Each 90-minute session will also include a tasting of their all-new limited edition ice cream flavours inspired by travel to these three countries — Amsterdam, Tahiti and Las Vegas. 

For instance, the Tahiti-inspired Passionfruit White Chocolate flavour will consist of indulgent vanilla ice cream coated in sweet white chocolate and just a touch of toasted coconut to replicate the vibrant tropical vibes of the island. The notes that you get in these flavours will also be available for use in the perfumes that you’ll be making. 

If you prefer something with more warm and spicy notes, check out Amsterdam — a Chocolate and Cookie Butter flavour with notes of cinnamon, tonka beans and vanilla. 

For those who like musky and sweet scents, there’s also Las Vegas with their Caramelised Chocolate and Cookie flavour comprising notes like musk, amber, freesia and caramel. 

The perfume-making workshop will cost S$88/pax and only limited slots are available, so make sure that you book your sessions now if you don’t want to miss out on this delicious experience!

The post Make your own customised perfume with Magnum ice cream-inspired scents at this special limited-time only workshop appeared first on Confirm Good.

Located directly across Siloso Beach Resort, this new perfume bar cum retail space celebrates our island’s floral heritage, bringing together the scents of Singapore’s past and present through the use of digital innovation.

Interactive AR exhibits

Upon entering the space, you’ll be greeted with over 250 AR exhibits containing free-to-use artwork in the metaverse. All you need is a smartphone and the Facebook app. Stand in front of the exhibit, hold up your device, and experience an altered version of reality.

Get up close and personal with the prehistoric creatures that once roamed the grounds, or animated characters depicting perfume ingredients like cumin, lavender, and marigold. My colleague and I were very amused by the puns — almost every exhibit was emblazoned with one.

There are seven AR exhibit tours (free with a minimum spend of S$15) available daily from 11.15am, ranging from topics like the science of perfumery to the floral heritage and history of Sentosa.

Digitised perfume making

I’d always wanted to create a bespoke fragrance, the essence of “me”. You bet I was eager to get my hands dirty at the perfume bar.

First up, we had to take a short perfume personality test that would classify us under one of the five scent families: citrus, fresh, floral, woody, and oriental. Despite my initial scepticism at the choice of questions, most of my answers put me as predominantly “woody”, and the defining personality traits — responsible, practical, functional introvert — were pretty accurate.

Test results in hand, we headed for the colour-coded displays of scent wands that were arranged according to “feminine” and “masculine” scents. It was all a matter of choosing 10 scent wands that corresponded to our dominant fragrance. I decided to create something a little more unisex — fragrance should be gender-free, anyway.

With punny names like “good things come to rose who wait” and “lotus go someplace quieter”, the scent selection will be a helluva fun experience. One thing to note: you might (and probably will) experience fragrance fatigue after a couple of sniffs. Take several time-outs if you need.

Once you’ve sniffed out the perfect combination of scents, take your scent wands to the touchless aroma release machines, where you’ll get to create a sample (or two) to try out.

Go outdoors and let it sit on your skin for a few minutes. How does the fragrance evolve? The way a fragrance’s oils react to paper may be completely different from that of skin.

I was pleasantly surprised at how my very own Eau de Christabel turned out. It smelled addictive, akin to that of a “perfume from Hermes”, with complementary woody and citrusy notes.
