Mother's Day 2026 is 11 May. We've curated 7 genuinely thoughtful gifts under S$100 for Singapore mums — from local-flavoured ETTE tea blends to LEGO flower bouquets, candle-making workshops, and pyjama sets from local brands like SOJAO and RAPH & REMY.
Mother's Day 2026 falls on Sunday 11 May. By the time you're reading this, you've got about a week — enough to do something thoughtful, not enough to dawdle.
We've curated 7 genuinely good gift ideas under S$100, balanced across local-made products, experiences, comfort items, and the classic flower-and-cake combo. Each entry has a real source and a realistic price as of late April 2026, with order-by deadlines so you don't get caught buying flowers on 10 May at 200% markup.
Local micro-brand ETTE Tea Company makes tea blends inspired by Singapore flavours: Pandan Chiffon, Chicken Rice (yes, really, it's a savoury black tea), Ice Kacang, and Seri Kaya. The full collection comes in a beautifully designed gift box at S$82. Perfect for mums who love hosting and have an opinion about every cup of tea they drink. Order via ettetea.com — ships within 2 working days within Singapore.
The keepsake alternative to real flowers. LEGO's Flower Bouquet sets (multiple variants — botanicals, succulents, wildflowers) run S$60–80 and never wilt. Build it together over a weekend afternoon if mum is the assembly type, or pre-build and gift wrapped if she'd rather just receive it. Available at LEGO Certified Stores (VivoCity, ION) and most Toys R Us locations. Stocked online at lego.com/sg with delivery in 3–5 days.
Two-hour DIY workshops at venues like Candle Aficionado (Tanjong Pagar), Le Bonbon Candles (Holland Village), or Mama Wax (online + studio sessions). Mum walks out with a hand-poured candle, custom-blended perfume, or a glass terrarium. Best for the experiential gift — combines a Saturday afternoon with mum + a tangible product to take home. Book direct via the studio's website 5–7 days in advance.
Local sleepwear brands that have quietly become Singapore mum favourites. SOJAO does buttery-soft organic cotton sets in muted local-inspired prints (S$70–95). RAPH & REMY (mumpreneur-owned) leans modern minimalist with cooling fabrics for tropical sleep (S$60–85). Both ship within 2–3 days. Buy a size up if unsure — pyjamas should sleep loose. Available at sojao.com and raphandremy.com.
The classic choice — but only if you order in time. Floristique, Windflower, FNP, and BloomBack all do mid-tier bouquets at S$60–95 with same-day or next-day delivery. Carnations (traditional Mother's Day flower) symbolise familial love; pink roses mean appreciation; sunflowers for cheerful mums. Order by Tuesday 6 May for regular pricing — by Friday it'll be 30–80% more. Add a S$10–15 card for a personal touch.
InterContinental High Tea (S$78++/pax), Atlas Bar at Parkview Square (S$98++/pax), Carousel Mother's Day brunch buffet at Royal Plaza on Scotts (~S$98++/pax). Skip the Sunday-of crush — book mid-week for a quieter experience or 'Mum's Day' early at Saturday lunch. Pay direct via the venue website to avoid third-party fees and to lock in the seat. Some venues (Atlas) book out 6+ weeks ahead — book NOW if interested.
If mum has a sweet tooth: Cat & The Fiddle (Mao Shan Wang durian cheesecake S$78), Plain Vanilla (whole 8-inch carrot cake S$85), Tiong Bahru Bakery (gateau pistache S$75), or Awfully Chocolate (chocolate everything S$60–80). All deliver same-day if ordered before 11am. Personal favourite combo: cake + a single rose + a handwritten note — looks like more effort than buying a S$200 hamper.
Mother's Day 2026 falls on Sunday 11 May. Order gifts by Wednesday 7 May or Thursday 8 May at the latest to ensure delivery by Sunday — many local florists and bakeries cap their order books once Friday hits.
Flowers remain the most-given gift, but the price doubles in the week before. Ordering by Tuesday 6 May locks in regular pricing (S$60–95 for a mid-tier bouquet via Floristique, FNP, Windflower). Order on Saturday and you'll pay S$120+ for the same arrangement. Carnations symbolise familial love (traditional choice); pink roses mean appreciation.
An experience beats more 'stuff'. Candle-making, perfume-blending, or terrarium-building workshops at venues like Candle Aficionado or Just Mama run S$80–95 for a 2-hour session. Or a curated tea collection like ETTE's Singapore Tea Blends (S$82) — kaya, pandan chiffon, ice kacang flavours that double as conversation starters when guests visit.
If you're buying on 10 May or earlier same-day: FairPrice Finest stocks decent flower bouquets and chocolate boxes; ION/Takashimaya have late-day pickup for fragrance and skincare; Tangs and Mustafa stay open till late for last-resort options. Same-day delivery via FNP or Floristique still works on Saturday morning if booked before 11am, but expect a S$15-25 rush fee.
