It is that time of the year again. The time of the year dedicated to honouring one’s mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. 15th March, 2015 is Mother’s Day and it is only right that you get your mother a special gift so she knows she is appreciated and cherished. No idea what to get your mother this Mother’s Day? Don’t worry, ConnectNigeria’s got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of affordable gift suggestions to make Lady Number 1 feel extra special on her special day: 1. A 4-Layered Bead Necklace: This accessory is a must-have this season; one your mum can wear to a wedding event, family dinner or church service. 2. Perfume: Every woman loves perfume, so you know you can’t go wrong with this choice. Find out her favourite scent (ranging from fruity to flowery or spicy) and purchase a lovely shaped bottle from your nearest fragrance store. 3. Smartphone wallet: Her handbag’s too big to leave the house with just her necessities – her phone, money, keys and lip balm – and her wallet’s too small. A nice smartphone wallet is perfect for these sort of situations; the best holdall for a trip to the salon or market. 4. An inspirational tablet cover: If your mum’s a techie like we’re sure she is in this digital age, this is a thoughtful gift option. Not only would it help to keep her tablet safe but it’ll inspire her too – with words from the Serenity Prayer, for example, keeping her calm and collected. 5. Ankara sandals/shoes: This list won’t be complete without including every woman’s essential accessory –shoes. Whether your mum’s a fan of heels or flat shoes, we’re sure she’ll appreciate a good-looking pair in Ankara fabric to jazz up a simple outfit. 6. An audio book: Getting a hard covered book is expected, but an “audio” book? Not so much. Get her the audio version of her favourite book so she can hear its words while on-the-go. A wide range of audio books is currently available on Supermart.ng 7. A night at the movies: There’s nothing trendier than spending one on one time with your mum. Take her out to see her favourite movie at the cinema. Include dinner at a nice restaurant afterwards and make her day! Go ahead and celebrate the mothers in your life this weekend. They deserve it!
