Nothing expresses better the way you feel about your mom than a card. Archies Gallery has a line-up of special Mother’s Day cards for the day. From mushy lines to cards that bring a laugh, it’s your pick.

Flowers too are a hot favourite with roses and lilies leading the way. Tulips (9349395126) offers its customers pink roses or lilies decorated in a basket (starting Rs. 250) or a bouquet of roses (starting Rs. 100).

If mom’s wardrobe needs a change or an addition, how about stopping by Czarina’s or Ashmia. Czarina has a special ‘Mother’s Day’ collection that has saris ranging from Rs. 600 to Rs. 1,200.

“We have fancy saris with light embroidery, cotton and kota saris with mirror work and block prints. Georgettes and chiffons with sequined works and beads are also available. The collection has mostly pastel shades,” says Sheila James of Czarina.

With mothers often working over a hot stove, what better gift than to treat her to a lavish lunch or dinner buffet. Muthoot Plaza offers a special Mother’s Day treat.
