MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS
August 12 is Her Majesty the Queen's birthday, and it also marks Thailand's National Mother's Day. And since August is almost upon us, now is the time to put your imagination to work to find the perfect gift for the one special woman in your life.
She is special every day of the year, that goes without saying, but this is one day when she'll be in no doubt that she's uppermost in our thoughts. So step outside the usual present for mum box and let her see that your imagination been at work on her behalf. Here are some gift ideas that are sure to make a mother's eyes light up with happiness on her special day.
If your mother's something of a fashionista and you're planning to take her out of the city for a nice weekend, there is no better present for her than some trendy yet casual clothes and the latest holiday accessories. Marni, with its peep-toe flats in a variety of colours decorated with ruffles, or Pierre Hardy's metallic flats adorned with colour glass on the front are perfect for laid-back strolling.
The canvas Marc bag by Marc Jacobs with loads of room, is another good alternative for the weekends. Printed with '80s-style patterns, the bag is reminiscence of the good old days. There are also a multi-task lightweight washable quilted bag from Moncler that's ideal for holidays, and a pair of Paul Smith shades to protect her eyes from the sun.
For a trend-setting mother whose outfit not only reflects her style, but also enhances her personality, good quality leather bags and accessories are great companions for a weekday in the city. Think, for instance, of a strategically sized, pink leather lipstick bag from Mulberry which will neatly hold enough necessities for her daily life, or a white calfskin bag from Marc Jacobs exclusively designed with extra space.
A lightweight Arena leather pouch bag from Balenciaga decorated with shiny silvery studs, or a de luxe snake skin printed DKNY bag are also suitable for any occasions during the day - whether it's a morning meeting with colleagues or afternoon tea with friends.
Shoes get a lot of wear on a weekday, so it's important that they're comfortable as well as stylish. A pair of Max & Co's alligator calfskin tassel shoes of the right height will be a choice she'll absolutely love.
If you plan to organise a small party for her, then accessories play a crucial part in completing a mother's look. These could includes a perfect size clutch from Yves Saint Laurent, luxuriously decorated with golden zipper ruffles; or a dark green rectangular crocodile skin printed clutch from DKNY that's perfectly at home day or night.
Other gorgeous choices include a leather Balenciaga bag with jewel-like stingray clasp, and a Dolce & Gabbana bag in light grey made of quality leather with fur print.
Apart from these stunning bags, there is an enchanting Lanvin collection of shiny accessories, necklaces and rings, in classic shapes that your mum will love to wear on a great night out to celebrate her own special day... Mother's Day. RT
