Mother's Day is coming up fast in Hong Kong, and your fave mom figure in your life deserves a gift that's as amazing as she is. But finding that perfect present can be a real struggle.

2. Journals to Keep in Tune With Emotions
Being a mom is hard work and we often see mothers neglect their own well-being by putting others as a priority. A journal is a great way for your mom to do some well-deserved and meaningful self-care session by keeping track of her thoughts and feelings. She can use it as an outlet for her emotions, or as a guide for self-reflection, growth and self-love.. Expressive writing through journaling can be a powerful way to process stress, trauma, and different emotions.
- A guided journal that helps her find clarity by exploring different topics through writing prompts
- A gratitude journal (like this one) where she focuses on the positive aspects of life
(Research in 2021 suggests that making a conscious effort to practice gratitude can have a positive effect on mental health and can help counteract the negative thought patterns that depression creates.)
3. Hydration... But Make it Stylish
Stainless steel bottles are sturdy and durable, so it's perfect for taking on the go or even just carrying around in her bag. An insulated water bottle will keep her drinks cold or hot--perfect for those long hours on duty! If you want to get creative with it, consider getting one that has an inspirational quote printed on it (like this one). Or if your mom likes to keep things simple, get her something plain but stylish like these one from Corkcicle.
4. Art Books for Those Moms Who Find Refuge in Beauty
If your mom is a fan of art, then she'll love a book that features the work of her favorite artist. If she loves photography, get her a book with beautiful photos from around the world. If she loves illustration and graphic novels, look for books with beautiful illustrations by her favorite illustrators. Explore our range here.
5. Magazine Subscriptions
For the mom who loves to read, a magazine subscription is the perfect gift. She can look forward to receiving new issues every month and enjoy them in the comfort of her own home.
