Designer gifts and experiences for Mother's Day

With Mothers' Day just around the corner, our team at Hamilton's Property Portfolio decided to come up with a list of exceptional products and experiences we know mum will love. From essentials such as beauty sets to memorable experiences with you and the family, we're pretty sure we've covered all the bases!

Experiences

While personalised gifts offer a tangible demonstration of how much mom means to you, generally the most cherished moments shared with mom are found within the experiences we have with her. From a weekend away with her kids to a personalised family portrait, we know exactly where to look to make it memorable.

• Family photoshoot

A professional photographer captured an incredible 2021 Mother's Day that was celebrated on the manicured polo fields of Val de Vie Estate in the supple Winelands of the Western Cape. This incredible mother's day lunch was held with the entire family which gave us a little inspiration. What better way for capturing candid recollections of a memorable lunch than with a professional photographer?

• A cooking experience

There is, of course, the option to break out of the mould and try something new in 2022. Mom might be an exceptional cook, but even the most talented chefs among us can benefit from a family cooking experience.

Surprise your mom and take part in a cooking class you can all enjoy together. Discover the joys of cooking with an experience provided by Stir Crazy Cooking, one of South Africa's best cooking schools. They offer one-on-one cooking classes for a truly personalised experience. - Visit Stir Crazy.

• A weekend away

We live in a truly breathtaking country with a sprawling diversity of environments, cultures, and experiences. Share that diversity with mum and the family this Mother's Day and book a relaxing weekend getaway. Airbnb has some interesting offers of experiences in different areas anywhere in the country. 

Some of the most quaint places can be found in personalised settings. Airbnb gives a platform to homeowners living in some of the country's most attractive locations the opportunity to rent out their homes, flats, and cottages granting interested visitors an opportunity to enjoy an authentic experience.

Essentials

Celebrating Mother's Day just once a year never quite feels as though it's enough. Mom deserves to feel special every day of the year. Fortunately, our selection of timeless essential gifts might be just what you're looking for.

• Gown & Slippers

Whether your mum is rushing to get the kids ready in the morning or simply getting coffee and lunch ready for the family, a gown and a pair of comfortable slippers always makes a great gift! Take a look at this season's selection from Woolies - Slippers for mum.

• Essential Oils 

Even though much of her life is dedicated to her family, mom like everyone else definitely enjoys looking and feeling good. From some of our local sites, we were able to source a comprehensive collection of essential oils perfect for just about any skin type and requirement. ECO MOM is well known for their locally produced and sustainable products, why not take a look at their store? - Essential Oils for mum.

When it comes to finding the right place to find these items, Edgars never seems to disappoint - Beauty sets for mum.

• Fragrances

Perfumes and fragrances evoke a sense of emotion. They serve as a personal scent memory and thus choosing the right fragrance for your mom this Mother's Day takes a bit of consideration.

• Jewellery 

Personalised charms, bracelets, rings and pendants are memorable baubles that carry a weight of sentimental value.
