As the weekend approaches, malls are likely to be bustling with crowds. If you prefer to steer clear of them, consider shopping online with your mum. It's a convenient way to browse and select gifts together from the comfort of your own home. Plus, if you have a more generous budget, why not indulge her with a few extra special gifts during your online shopping spree?

Whip out the old-school board games you have tucked away in your storage room and relive those nostalgic memories with your mum. Get the whole family involved too—it’s a sure-fire way to have fun and bond together.

And if your mum prefers to try something new, you could always introduce her to multiplayer online games and play together—who knows? She may end up using the PS5 at home more than you.

Doing this will make the house extra-clean and make your mum extra-happy. Win-win.

Whether it’s following a short 15-minute yoga session or going full-out with a 30-minute HIIT session, there’s bound to be a tutorial on YouTube that will tickle your (and her) fancy.

And since you’re doing it together, it will definitely be more fun, with someone by your side to encourage you whilst you work out.

Sing your hearts out at home by holding your very own karaoke session—personalised to your mum’s musical preferences, of course. Even if you don’t own your own karaoke machine, you could always search for karaoke songs on YouTube, and sing to your, or rather, your mum’s heart’s content.

Just be sure not to be too loud—wouldn’t want neighbours complaining about the wonderful singing.
