Mother's Day is upon us, and there's a host of ways to pamper mothers this year, whether through gifting options or products designed for the occasion.

Oriflame has launched a range of body care products called Milk and Honey Gold, which includes a Nourishing Hand and Body Cream (Rs. 329 for 250 ml), Moisturising Body Lotion (Rs. 298 for 250 ml), Bath and Shower Gel (Rs. 279 for 200 ml) and a Cleansing Bar (Rs. 49 for 100 gm). All of the products are said to be made from milk and honey to nourish, soften and moisturise the skin. For the occasion of Mother's Day, the entire range is being made available at special prices during the month of May.

Swarovski has created an original collection for Mother's Day. The collection consists of the Abby and Alana pendants. The Abby pendants, made to evoke memories of the '70s come in the form of daisies on silver-plated chains. One could choose between a daisy pendant decorated completely with pavé crystal or one with a central daisy cutout. In the two Alana pendants, flowers have made way for hearts, with cut outs and slender lines and curves. The collection also has new home decor options for the discriminating mother — a faceted crystal ladybird resting on a delicate bed of flowers, a crystal rose open to reveal petals on a stem and leaves in elegant green crystal and lilies in Tanzanite crystal blooming in full splendour. Visit www.swarovski.com for details.

For those looking to gift their mothers special memories, Magppie has launched a new range of photo frames, flower vases and personal care items for Mother's Day. The products come in matte-finish stainless steel. They are priced between Rs. 200 and Rs. 5,000 and are available at the showroom at 5, Vittal Mallya Road or at Ebony, Shoppers' Stop, Westside, Lifestyle, Vama, and Jagdish Stores.

For other gifting options, Fabmall.com has a range of offers for customers. For the traditional touch, one can choose jewellery sets in gold, silver, diamond and other precious stones. For the mom on the move, a range of gadgets and gizmos are on offer. Shawls, interesting reads, music and religious teachings are up for grabs for grandmothers. Mother's Day Flowers, handicrafts, watches, sweets, cakes and so on are also on the shelves.

Fabmall.com is also offering up to 35 per cent off on select items such as beautifully designed cotton saris and up to 46 per cent discount on articles like cotton kurtas. Log onto www.fabmall.com for details.

One could also try out the Mother's Day lunch at Mynt at The Taj West End. This 3-course meal offers up delicious treats like crab ravioli with tomato basil emulsion, vegetarian Caesar salad on pine carpaccio, home-made roasted pepper lasagne served with a mixed salad and garlic bread and trio of choc mousse with Prune Brunnoise. While the meal is priced at Rs. 1,000 per head, your mother's meal would be on the house.
