Discover the perfect venues to tailor the celebrations according to your mum’s unique personality.

A tradition celebrated in over 40 countries around the globe, Mother’s Day is dedicated to honouring the phenomenal women in our lives. While customs and dates may vary — with Eastern Europe marking the occasion on 8 March, France on the last Sunday of May and Singapore on the second Sunday of May — the essence of the occasion remains the same. It’s about showing appreciation for the endless love and sacrifices our mothers have made.

To express our gratitude and love, we often treat our mothers to a day of celebration with meals and gifts. This year, why not make 12 May extra special by choosing activities that align with her unique interests?

THE ARTISTIC MUM

She likes: Expressing herself through creative outlets
Take her to: An art jamming session or bespoke perfume workshop

Imagine a day where “no rules, no boundaries, no stress” is the mantra. This is exactly the promise of Splat Paint House, an art jamming studio where your mum can unleash her creativity — and possibly create a spontaneous masterpiece worthy of adorning your home’s walls.

Or, if she has a refined sense of smell, whisk her away to Sentosa’s Scentopia for a perfume workshop. There, she can blend her signature fragrance, starting with a perfume personality test and culminating in a bespoke scent that embodies her essence.

THE FOODIE MUM

She likes: Trying diverse cuisines
Take her on: An immersive gastronomic journey or to an indulgent seafood feast

Treat Mum to a dining experience where storytelling and food intertwine. Absurdities offers a multiverse adventure, where each dish is part of a larger narrative. Participants move between rooms set in a variety of surreal environments — think: dining in a jet plane, a mysterious apothecary and a desert caravan tent.

Alternatively, splurge on a feast of fresh seafood delights at Orchid Live Seafood at HomeTeamNS Khatib. Renowned for its signature lobster porridge made from succulent Southern Australian lobsters and South African abalone braised over two days in a premium broth. The restaurant also offers 10% off for HomeTeamNS members.

THE EXPLORER MUM

She likes: Embarking on new adventures and experiences
Take her to: Rediscover her inner child or on a unique walking tour

For the mum with a zest for discovery, Jewel Changi Airport Canopy Park makes for an enchanting playground — yes, even for adults. Go on the giant slides, explore a mirror maze, or clamber onto giant nets amid the lush greenery. Mix and match your preferred attractions with up to 25% off for HomeTeamNS members. 

If she prefers a blend of history and art, the audio-guided walking trail at Jalan Besar by New World’s End merges storytelling with immersive art installations, offering a multi-sensory experience that’ll transport her back to the vibrant 1960s.

THE SPORTY MUM

She likes: Staying active and challenging herself physically
Take her to: Unleash her competitive side

HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir’s Action Motion is an adrenaline-fuelled haven for sporty mums. With multiple gamified zones that include climbing walls and agility nets to test her mettle, it’s the ideal spot for the whole family to get in on the competition.

There are also family-friendly thrills to be found at Laser Quest at HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok, an exhilarating arena for laser tag battles. A set of three games will last 30 minutes, allowing your mum to temporarily set aside her maternal role for some playful strategising.

THE NATURE-LOVING MUM

She likes: Getting up close to nature
Take her to: Breakfast in the wild or a tranquil staycation

For mums who find peace in the embrace of nature, a day at Mandai Wildlife Reserve promises to be a relaxing retreat. Begin the day with breakfast at the Singapore Zoo, followed by explorations at River Wonders and the Night Safari. HomeTeamNS members get 40% off tickets on weekdays and 10% off from Fridays to Sundays.

Equally relaxing is a staycation at East Villa at HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir, surrounded by a serene, forested park and its waters. Enjoy a dip in the clubhouse’s infinity pool and a delicious meal at Sum Dim Sum or Sri Bistari after. Between the scenic views and soothing sounds of nature, Mum will feel rejuvenated in no time.

THE MULTIFACETED MUM

She likes: Excelling in her career while balancing motherhood
Take her to: Craft a personalised card holder or give her a hair makeover

Mums juggling career and family deserve recognition, so show your appreciation by treating her to a workshop by Bynd Artisan, the makers of beautiful leather items. A soft leather card holder is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to her professional life.

Perhaps to help her stay stylish and confident at work, gift her a hair glow-up session with Black Hair Salon. HomeTeamNS members are entitled to discounts of up to 15% as well as a complimentary membership for receipts over $200. It’s thoughtful gestures like these that will leave your mum feeling refreshed and ready to tackle her dual roles with renewed vigour.
