MUM: THE UNSUNG HERO

There is one relationship on this earth which naturally tops all other known relationships. This person we are connected to makes endless sacrifices, gives up a carefree lifestyle to ensure you thrive and, always has your best interests at heart. You can always count on this person who gave you life and loves you unconditionally.

Yet, she remains the unsung hero. The person we sometimes forget to be grateful for her indisputable sacrifice.

Feeling muddled? Don’t scratch your head too much as that amazing connection we have is with none other than that of our mother.

Although she is and should be celebrated every day of your existence, it is only befitting that we shower her with love and affection on one special day set aside for mothers and motherly figures.

Mother’s Day is celebrated in more than 50 countries across the globe. We take this opportunity to celebrate her countless love, dedication and devotion towards her family.

Mother’s Day is truly a special day for the mothers who are mostly undervalued in this male-dominated society. It’s an occasion which is celebrated to express admiration, respect, and love towards mothers. The day is an event to honour the role of mothers, recognize the efforts of maternal bonds and the role of mothers in our society. A mother’s love is the glue that holds us together even when we crumble into smithereens.

Each year we are faced with the same question: What should I get my mum for Mother’s Day? How do I show my love?

If you’re stuck, here are a few things most mums would love for you to do:

Relieve her of her duties

This Mother’s Day, relieve mum of her usual to-do’s. Cook for her. Do her laundry. Clean and tidy the house. Nothing says “I love you mama” like a scrumptious meal, clean laundry and house. Honour your mum by serving her this Mother’s Day.

Much needed TLC for her

Mama needs some ‘tender loving care’ or better known as TLC. You could pay for a spa date for her where she gets to be pampered all day. If you can, pay for a staycation somewhere away from all the noise and distraction. Let her spend the day and/or night alone at a nice hotel or Airbnb where she can enjoy a bubble bath, order room service, watch whatever she wants on TV, and sleep the entire night without interruption.

Remember something she loves

A thoughtful gift reminds your mum of how well you know her and that you’re thinking of her. It could be that you care for your mum’s health and wellbeing and so, suitable gifts for her are the Vitabiotics Supplements range. Additionally, the baby could be in the teething stage, so you can opt for the Dentinox Teething Gel. Who knows? The baby could have colic so you can buy her the Philips Avent Anti-colic range. Whatever the case, surprise her with any of these thoughtful gifts for her by shopping for them here.

Take her out for a meal

If eating out is something that is saved for special occasions, then here is one. On this Mother’s Day, take her for a nice meal at her favourite restaurant. She deserves it!

May this day be special for ALL mothers and motherly figures. You are loved. You are cherished. You deserve nothing but the best!
