SASKO Smoked beef croque monsiuer [Win R1000 Voucher]

With a little bit of planning, there’s no reason why Mother’s Day in lockdown can’t be a super fun and memorable day. Think about it: snuggling in bed, nowhere to rush to, quality time with the kids. What more can you ask for? If you answered ‘spa day’, all you need is some out-of-the-box thinking, stocking the pantry and dropping a few hints!

How about brunch at Mom’s Café?

Think hand-drawn menus, your best crockery, some fresh flowers from the garden and head chef dad to pull it all together? Who doesn’t love freshly flipped flapjacks and a pot of tea?

Brunch is a great idea as it keeps everyone full till dinner, which means mom can put her feet up or even enjoy a sneaky afternoon nap. It’s a great time to surprise her with an at-home spa day. Put some tranquil music on, brush her hair and massage her feet while feeding her some decadent cake. Now that’s how you say spa-a-a-a-h. Or invite her outside for a sunny autumn picnic while she browses a craft market of homemade gifts. Guess what? Everything on sale costs just one kiss!

If you feel like an afternoon treat, put on a special high tea for mom, complete with mini sandwiches, scones and cream and her favourite cake. If you’re lucky, she just might save you a slice…Whatever you decide, SASKO has just the recipe to make you the Mother’s Day hero.
