GIFTS FOR MOM

The world's most important woman deserves the best. So forget about electric frying pans and fruit blenders. This Mother's Day, we need to take every hardworking mom away from the kitchen and lavish her with gifts that remind her of her queenly place in the home. From scents that celebrate every woman's sensuality to Swarovski-festooned jewelry purses and elegant pearl drops set in white gold chains, there can never be a dearth of lust-worthy finds to wrap for mom. But of course, those who want to delight the mother of his kids with something that sparkles always turn to every woman's bestfriend — diamonds.

Sure these gifts are quite expensive but hey, you don't scrimp on mom. After all, there's no price tag to a mother's love.

Delight comes in an elegant pair of Creolla-design 11.2 mm South Sea pearl set in a 14 carat gold with .60 carat diamond, P24,800.

Pamper mommy's arm with a sophisticated 12 mm South Sea pearl on 14-carat white gold link, P44,800.

You can never go wrong with diamonds. Wrap mom a stunning .20 carat diamond pendant in 18 carat white gold setting, P8,480.

What's a woman without her bag? Give mom a fully-beaded handbag that she can delightfully carry around during family parties, P919.75.

Juggling paperwork, home chores and hyper-active kids needs a refreshing break. Surprise mom with an invigorating Carolina Herrera's 212 On Ice, P3,251 (60 ml).
