6 ways to treat your mum like a queen this Mother's Day
Show your mama some lovin’

Kristina Cassar Dowling

Mothers across the globe (except the UK) are rightfully celebrated this Sunday. It is finally their day to sit back, relax and take in all the worthy compliments that come their way. It’s a day when every mum is given some recognition, some love and lots of TLC - attention which is often missed in the hectic pace we’ve adopted today.

So, give your mama a little lovin’ and treat her right this Mother’s Day. Here are our top suggestions.

Why not go for a cooking class together?

Mama might know best when it comes to stirring up your favourite meals but wouldn’t it be nice to learn some techniques together? Diar il-Bniet focus on traditional Maltese flavours and revives some of our top local dishes, but they also offer authentic cooking classes with farm-to-table recipes. This is a great option for those mums who love to feed, the caregiver of the family and the number one homecook.

Make it personal

Personalised gifts are sometimes the best since they let your loved ones know how much you really know them. Now, we know your mum knows everything about you, but how close can you get? The Tink Shop is there to help with its customised mugs, goodie boxes and other household items which will show your mum how you really feel. Great for those emotional mothers who absolutely wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Head to the spa!

Sanya is the ideal spot for the stressed out mummies out there. Wash away the strains of the week with a dip in the pool or a soothing massage to rid yourselves of all stress and tension. There’s always a great excuse to get some quality time and what better day than Mother’s Day?

Treat her to a weekend in Gozo

Gozo calling, and oh what a cry! Gozo’s the ultimate ‘relax and get away from reality’ destination. The greener pastures, the blue seas and the great restaurant and cafe scene - these are all great for the mum who’s always out to have a good time. Grab a cocktail by the beach and snap a few Insta shots to mark the day.

Go for something bespoke

Mama thinks she’s still got it, doesn't she? Well, why not hit her up with a stunning necklace from Yana’s Jewellery. Get your mum all dolled up and plan a great evening together - she’ll want to flaunt her new jewels. She’s going to love this!

Flowers are a must...

They may be cliche, they may be overdone but no celebratory day is complete without a fragrant bunch of fresh flowers! Get some extra brownie points by choosing her favourite blooms and just watch the smile beam across your mum’s face as she relives her hippie days.

Whatever you do, do it with love, and do it because you know your mum is the best one out there!
