While it's nowhere as stressful as Christmastime, gift-giving on Mother's Day requires careful thought and lots of research.
We've put together a list of picks to ease the pressure — from beautiful arrangements to useful household additions, these presents are sure to give pleasure to the lady in your home.
OVO Garden
After Valentine's Day, Mother's Day might be the busiest time of the year for floral deliveries — and rightfully so, because the women in our lives deserve them. Hong Kong has no shortage of quality florists, and our pick this time is OVO Garden, which will make those deliveries easier with freshly made bouquets and arrangements especially for Mother's Day 2019.
Kapok
One of Hong Kong's coolest lifestyle stores, Kapok contains a wealth of unique finds and design discoveries. Case in point: Maison Kitsuné's collaboration with Paris label Cahu is available in the boutique (above), along with a curated selection of other potential gifts: fragrances from Bon Parfumeur, hand-poured candles from local brand BeCandle, and special prints for the wall.
Diptyque
Always a delight to give and to receive, Diptyque's range of home fragrances just became more attractive: a collaboration with Pierre Frey results in a limited line of gift boxes that use patterns from the maison's archives. Available at Diptyque.
Nespresso
Perhaps it's time for an upgrade at home that mom will appreciate. Consider Nespresso's new Essenza Plus, the ideal machine for preparing four coffee sizes. Available in two designs, it's sleek, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly.
Tumi
Unlike most of Tumi's past collections, its Voyageur line presents luggage pieces, bags, and travel organizers in lightweight yet hard-working nylon, and in bold prints and vivid colourways that will surprise the most important woman in your life in more ways than one.
K11 Design Store
This versatile Creativando piece, which features the work of celebrated artist Keith Haring, can be used as a seat, stool, or low table. In Hong Kong, it's available exclusively at K11 Design Store.
