Us mums need caffeine (A LOT of caffeine), so a fully loaded Starbucks (or whatever coffee house she prefers) card is an present that will not only be much appreciated, but actually also used. Win/win.
3. A Lomi Lomi Massage at The Marker Spa & Wellness
There is just something about being pampered to within an inch of your life, isn’t there…? Which she will be if you treat mum to voucher from The Marker Spa and Wellness. Let her book herself in for a Loni Lomi massage, one of the spa’s latest offerings.

4. Bring Mum for Brunch at San Lorenzo’s
There is brunch and then there is BRUNCH, and nobody does brunch quite like this little South George’s Street gem. If you really want to go to town, get the Panettone french toast, which is laden with blueberry compote, mascarpone and vanilla whipped cream. Y-UM.
Oh, and did we mention you can wash it down with a vast collection of “Brunch Cocktails”? You’re welcome.
