If she’s too busy in the city, why not bring the beach to her?

Personal chef

Why not recreate her favorite dish served on top-of-the-line cookware for the special occasion?

It features a ceramic non-stick coating that is a great option for perfect frying and more in any kitchen.

Protection for loved ones

Because they have too much love to give, they also start adopting cats and dogs that become part of the household. Why not give them insurance too? BDO now offers pet dog and cat insurance for as low as P560/year, making sure that your mom’s extended family is also well taken care of. Click here to know more about BDO Insure.

Say a little prayer

Another excellent way to give gifts is by pairing them with prayers. Amen Jewelry has recently opened its first store in the Philippines, offering a perfect gift for fashion-forward individuals with a deep-rooted faith. Amen Jewelry, renowned for its prayer-engraved jewelry, crafts exquisite trinkets in Italy. In addition to their faith-based collections, the brand’s founder Giovanni Licastro, also designs non-faith-based jewelry, including charm rings, bracelets, and necklaces adorned with diamonds. If you’re looking for a great option, consider the Vita Christi et Marie: BRVIGE bracelet.
