We may be in level 4 of lockdown, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate mom. Luckily we have a range of gift ideas that will have mom beaming and will earn you that gold star.

Let’s dive in:

Wheeler’s Pharmacy have the best kept secret in the Bay – their range of Clarins is vast and will have your mom’s skin looking radiant faster than you can say “when is lockdown over?” Wheelers also stocks other fabulous ranges of skincare including high-end suncare brands. Pop next door to Wheeler’s Health shop for a fabulous organic range of DIY hair dye kits that are tried and tested offering amazing results. She (and her greys) will thank you!

Minki & Co are open for business, selling their well-known candles and diffusers and a range of absolutely beautiful winter clothing for mom. Think cardigans, jackets, and thick, luxurious knitted jerseys. Our top pick is definitely their pom-pom scarves in black and camel

Nap never disappoint. Aside from their well-known soaps, lotions and potions, they have extended their range of clothing – you can now get gorgeous sweaters and tops and the most decadent soft loungewear for lockdown luxury. Mom will have her feet up in no time. Just don’t forget to get her that cup of hot chocolate she asked for…

We are thrilled that The Bay Book Shop is open and selling a few awesome best sellers. If novels aren’t her thing, they have a fabulous range of gardening books, perfect for some green lockdown fingers.

For the stationery-lover, CNA has it all. Choose from a selection of pretty notebooks, and get ALL your giftware and cards in one go!

When all else fails, we have our trusty Clicks to the rescue. Even in level 4 of lockdown, they have the best Mother’s Day gifts. Choose from some cute Mother’s Day travel mugs, all the make up mum could ever need (just no testers unfortunately…), and Body Shop products. Mom would also LOVE anything from the hair care aisle whilst we wait for hair salons to open and of course anything from the DIY nail care section would go down a treat.

Everyone in Hout Bay knows that Colours Gifts and Curios is THE place to get a great scarf and they do not disappoint. Take your pick from soft summery scarves to silk pashmina’s to kikois to winter chunky scarves. Plus they sell face masks and buffs. Hurry!

We wish all the moms out there in our Bay and beyond a fabulous Mother’s Day.
