Whether They're A Whisky Lover Or A Saree Stan, Our Mother's Day Gifting Guide Has It All

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and while classic gifts like flowers and generic chocolates have their charm, there is so much more to consider. We’re also shifting the focus from gifts related to domestic duties like cooking and homemaking to choose gifts that truly celebrate moms for their individuality. 

So whether it’s your mom, a friend who just became a mother, or the maternal figure who’s always had your back you’re giving a gift to, we’ve curated a list of thoughtful presents that reflect their unique tastes. From those who love to indulge in a little self-care with luxe skincare, the one who’s all about that statement jewellery, or even the mom who loves to savour a good whiskey after a long day, this guide has a little something for different moms with varied sensibilities. 

When it comes to gifting spirits, Father's Day often gets the spotlight, but let’s not forget about the moms who appreciate a good, stiff drink. Otherside Whiskey from Third Eye Distillery is crafted for those who love their whiskey rich, complex, and with a story to tell. This small-batch spirit is perfect for the mom who enjoys savouring a quality drink at the end of a long day or sharing a toast with friends. With its smooth finish and nuanced flavour profile, it's a great gift to appreciate the mom who knows her liquor as well as she knows her life, and to perhaps raise a toast with her!

Women’s bodies are full of wonder and magic, astonishing really in the way they create life. But behind the scenes it also looks like a constant negotiation with hormones that influence everything from sleep and stress to mood, memory, focus, energy levels, appetite, anxiety, and emotional regulation. They shift through different phases of life so often that sometimes exhaustion, brain fog, irritability, or burnout just start feeling “normal” when they really aren’t. And just when they begin to understand these rhythms, menopause sends everything haywire again. The new OURA 4 ring, which recently launched in India, is a great piece of tech to track these patterns. The smart ring offers insights into stress, recovery, body temperature, cycle patterns, and hormonal changes to help you understand and accomodate to your body better.
