Scratching your head trying to come up with last-minute ideas for Mother’s Day?
Here’s a few things you can do to show Mom you care:
- Buy beautiful Mother’s Day cupcakes from Lollipop Bakery. Orders must be placed by noon, Sat 7 for delivery Sun 8. RMB 320 per dozen. Order online or e-mail cupcakes@lollipopbakery.cn.
- Book Mom in for a cake making session at the Fig Tree. RMB 450/person.
- Forgot to reserve a table for brunch? Why not serve Mom breakfast in bed instead? Try making simple ricotta hotcakes, assemble-and-serve scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, or sinfully sweet French toast with bananas (this recipe calls for Verjuice, simply replace it with lemon juice).
- Book an indulgent spa session for Mom at Ritz-Carlton Financial Street, Hilton Beijing Wangfujing, Bodhi or Dragonfly.
- Looking for something a little more funky? Take Mom to this cool hutong flea market to scour for bargains and uncover vintage treasures. When you’re done, head over to Cafe Zarah for a cup of what is arguably the best coffee in town.
- Dads: Get the kids together and make some DIY gifts. Try making a kitchen sink pot, chore card, tea card, or a memory book.
