Mother's Day is around the corner and if you're still racking your brain trying to figure out what gift perfectly suits this amazing woman in your life, then you are one step away from putting a smile on her face with any of these fantastic ideas.
Spa treatment: Moms work extra hard to take care of those around them. For this one day, let her sit back and be the one catered for. What better way to unwind, relax and enjoy some quality me-time than a good old massage? Many spas in Nairobi also offer access to hot tubs, steam rooms and gyms, giving mom some quality me-time. Check out the Devarana Spa at Dusit D2, Kaya Spa at Tribe Hotel, Angana Spa at Sankara Hotel, Olakira by Rio Spa at Four Points by Sheraton, JKIA. Or visit
www.spadreaming.com to book early and beat the inevitable last minute dash.

Customised gift package: There is nothing better than a personalised gift - it's a way of saying to mom, "I gave it as much care and thought as you gave me". Think along the lines of what mommy dearest cherishes, or something she frequently uses and engrave it with her name or initials; it could be cutlery, mugs, water bottle, stationery, towels, spectacles. That way she'll always remember your sweet gesture. Check out

A custom chopping board inscribed with a hearty quote, a mini-chopper to make cooking easier, or even some bakeware if she likes baking. You can check out
www.vituzote.com which specialises in home appliances.

With audio books, she won't have to worry about stealing moments from her busy routine to flip through pages of her favourite book. She can listen in and be read to while she's driving, sprucing up, working out, or preparing dinner. Consider getting her a subscription to
www.audible.com by Amazon or Barnes & Noble, both of which have exhaustive selections across genres.

Depending on your budget, you can either get a hand-crafted artistic piece from local accessory designers like Kipato Unbranded, or you can go to stores like Mr. P or Woolworths for ready-made pieces. If you really want to splurge, consider a statement piece from Swarovski who specialise in crystal jewellery.
