5. KEY HOLDER

Just how many times has your mother misplaced the keys and asked if you took them? If you mom fits into this category, a nice keyholder might be the best gift!
Buy it, and remind her to hang the keys every time she gets in the house. Well, it might be a little annoying to remind her every now and then but we’re sure she’s going to be used to it in no time.
They had the patience to bring us up, guys. This is the least we could do.
4. NEEDLE BOX

A proper needle box, which is meant for keeping needles and threads!
No, we’re NOT kidding! How many times has your mother used cookie boxes to keep pins and needles?
If you have fallen prey to that situation before, you should know how much it hurts to find pins instead of cookies in a COOKIE BOX!
Just get her a nice box already!
3. SAFETY PINS / BOBBY PINS

Well, well… no matter how many of these we buy, at the end of the day we’d be left with only like, two of them?
Since it’s relatively very cheap compared to other gifts, just get a whole lot of them to last your mother until the next Mother’s Day perhaps?
2. ‘MINYAK ANGIN / GAMAT’

If you’re Asian and if you don’t know what it means, you’re lying!
This ointment is every Asian mother’s best friend to stay away from headaches, odour, our nonsense and basically, everything.
You probably have never seen your mother buying the biggest bottle there is in the market because they always think it’s ‘too much’ but trust us, it’s NEVER too much.
Get them the biggest bottle. Thank us later.
1. TUPPERWARES!
THE ULTIMATE GIFT!

There’s a special bond between Asian mothers and tupperwares that even we don’t share with our mothers.
If you have lost your mother’s tupperwares and made her upset in the past, this is the best time to pay her back!
Get her some high-quality tupperwares and we assure you you’re going to be the favourite child (for the coming month at least!)
