Last Minute Mother’s Day Ideas

By now, I assume most of the Mother’s Day Dinners & Lunches in Cape Town are already fully booked and some might be lost on ideas how to celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday. There are a few alternatives to dining-out!

Eat-In sent us some lovely recipe (Chicken Pie, Roast Leg of Lamb, Ouma Corrie’s Malva Pudding) yesterday that you’ll be able to make at home. You can simply invite your mom over to dinner or lunch and show-off your cooking skills.  Please note: The rule that the chef never washes the dishes does not apply this Sunday.

Also, I found this great article on how to surprise your wife this Mother’s Day: 5 Tips for Mother’s Day Breakfast she’ll remember forever.

If cooking isn’t one of your strengths, don’t worry – there is still enough time to find the perfect present. I have put together these last-minute gift ideas for Mother’s Day that should help you out a little.

YuppieChef

YuppieChef is an e-commerce store providing premium kitchen tools for every occasion. Some items can even be delivered within 24 hours of purchase at no cost. There are free deliveries on all orders.

Woolworths LogoThe Woolworth online store has a wide variety of gift baskets, hampers, beauty and home-ware products on offer. These can probably also be purchased directly at the store depending on whether stock is still available. But if you are short on time, delivery will cost between R50 – R90.

I reviewed the Fraiche Food Cook Book last week and mentioned that the book would make an ideal Mother’s Day Gift. If you are looking for something different, Exclusive Books have dedicated an entire section for Mother’s Day ideas: 50 Great Reads for Mom.

Assuming that your mom likes chocolate, you can never go wrong with Lindt – it’s simply the best. Head over to the Cape Quarter Chocolate Studio to treat her to any of their irresistible gift hampers.
