Distance doesn't matter with these thoughtful, deliverable gifts

The extension of the circuit breaker until June 1 has no doubt disrupted many plans for the coming month, including Mother’s Day celebrations. But why not make the most of it at home and pamper Mum with some thoughtful presents? And if you happen to be living separately, don’t let it put a damper on your spirits. You can still bridge the distance and show her you care because these gift selections can be delivered straight to her.

1. LG Pra.L Derma LED Mask

With spas closed until June 1, keep Mum up with her self-care routine at home with LG Pra.L’s Derma LED Mask. The futuristic device uses LED light therapy, specifically 160 LEDs of red and infrared light to stimulate collagen production and improve blood circulation. The best part? She doesn’t have to do anything. Simply put on the mask, sit back, and relax for nine minutes.

2. Hermès L’Art Du Sarasa

A silk scarf from Hermès is an emblem of the French house’s artistry, and this scarf in silk twill with hand-rolled edges is no different. Featuring the silhouette of a kimono that is created from contrasting pieces of patterns, we can’t help but be reminded of the patchwork blankets our grandmothers or mothers used to make. Gifting service is available, and your present will be wrapped in an orange box with a Bolduc ribbon. You can also include a personalised message.
