Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and let’s be honest — your mom deserves more than just the usual flowers and cards. This year, skip that and whisk up some memories that are equal parts memorable and fun!

It’s time to stir things up with our list of unique activities to do on Mother’s Day for a day she’ll truly remember.

Rage Room

Who says Mother’s Day has to be just high tea and brunches? After years of (lovingly) nagging our ears off, our moms deserve a break… or a bat.

Which is why this is the opportune day to give your mom her well-deserved outlet to release a year’s worth of frustration in a rage room.

At The Fragment Room, nothing says “thanks for everything” like letting your mom smash her stress away with a weapon of her choice.

You’ll probably leave with shivers down your spine or newfound respect for your mom’s strength (I know I’ll immediately get the chores done, no questions asked). But either way, a Mother’s Day spent at a rage room will be one for the books.

Nyonya photoshoot

If mom doesn’t want to go all She-Hulk on this day, perhaps she’d enjoy some good old dress up. And if you and your mom are hooked on the Nyonya drama Emerald Hill, this one’s for you!

Get your mom to ditch the mom jeans and step into a different kind of royalty. Dreaming Studio has everything she needs to channel her inner Nyonya with a Nyonya-inspired photoshoot. 

You can let her have the spotlight to herself or turn it into a family photoshoot. Both ways would still get her a portrait she’d definitely want displayed at home.

You or your mom need not do the legwork as curated Nyonya kebayas and accessories for ages, traditional-inspired makeup, and hair styling will be provided. 

Best of all, the photoshoot will actually be held at Emerald Hill, so let her live out her fangirl (or fanmom) dreams all in one magical day.

Singapore Symphony Orchestra Mother’s Day Concert 2025

On Mother’s Day, the queen bee of the house should rightfully belong among the blossoms.

And there’s no better place for her grace to slow down, relax, and (quite literally and metaphorically) smell the roses than the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Where exactly in Singapore Botanic Gardens? Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where the Singapore Symphony Orchestra will serenade your mom with their free, open-air Mother’s Day Concert 2025.

This year’s concert features talented young musicians and composers, who’ll be playing tunes to celebrate the spirit of motherhood. Kids and pets are welcome too, meaning your mom can spend the day with people (and furry pals) who matter most to her.

Limited freebies will be given away from 5pm, so do come early! On top of that, there’ll be a pre-show performance from 5.30pm.

After all, why rush later, when you can relax early with these extra perks to ease into the evening?

Do note that the concert may be delayed or cancelled in the event of inclement weather. For the latest updates, stay tuned to SSO’s Instagram or Facebook for updates.

So let the Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s Mother’s Day Concert be the soundtrack to your mom’s day, right in the heart of Singapore’s most stunning garden.

Glassblowing

Turn the heat up this Mother’s Day with a glassblowing workshop at Tombalek Workshop!

Forget the predictable gifts and instead, get her a unique experience to make something one-of-a-kind. You can opt for a suitable workshop for her based on her level of skill. 

For example, the Clear Glassblowing Experience welcomes you and your mom into the glassblowing experience for 90 minutes. You’ll be guided on how to blow a simple bubble and make a cup in about 20 to 30 minutes. 

The result? A handmade piece unlike anything else your mom has which she can add to her prized possession of kitchen tools.

When was the last time your mom cooked or baked for herself? With ABC Cooking Studio Singapore’s cooking and baking workshops, your mom can hop on a gastronomic journey learning to create various dishes.

Not to worry if this is her first time attending a workshop by ABC Cooking Studio Singapore. Opt for their trial lessons which can be her taster of what to expect.

From 3 May 2025 to 1 June 2025, ABC Cooking Studio Singapore will have a Seasonal Trial Lesson where you and your mom can learn how to make Tart Uji Enchanté.

If your mom falls in love with the classes, you can even sign up for long-term courses like the Cake Course or the Wagashi Course.

Soon enough, you and your mom can turn it into a new tradition and build a recipe book of shared experiences and new favourite dishes.

Skip pre-packaged sweets and gift her the experience of making them from scratch. Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie’s chocolate-making workshops are for the moms who never says no to desserts.

There are a couple of workshops to choose from, but to truly dip into the sweet life, try either the Signature Chocolate Snaps Making Class or the Parent + Child: Design a Bar workshops.

Now I know I said to ditch the flowers, but the LEGO Group’s Mother’s Day Pop-up is an exception.

From 9 May 2025 to 12 May 2025, you and your mom will be in a floral wonderland with the floral-themed building activities and promotions happening at the LEGO® Certified Store at Suntec City!

You can also delight your mom with a complimentary 40460 LEGO Rose Stalk available for redemption at 3pm on 10 May 2025 and 11 May 2025 to add to the bouquet.

Or for fully customised blooms, spend a minimum of S$69 on any LEGO Botanical sets to personalise your own LEGO floral arrangement from 9 May 2025 to 12 May 2025. 

Through the Petal to Vase Redemption, you can style a bouquet with a mix of six LEGO flowers, three LEGO leaves, and three artificial blooms before being presented in a specially designed paper vase.
