Mother’s Day is coming up soon and we thought we’d share some apps to help you make your mom feel like she really is the best mom in the world. We also encourage Dads to lend a hand in making the day even more special.
If you want to treat mom for breakfast or brunch on Sunday morning, we highly recommend downloading the Zomato app. It has an impressive directory of restaurants in South Africa which includes, contact details, full menu, operating hours, directions, and most importantly, user-generated reviews. Check out Zomato Collections to find the ideal, indulgent spot for mom. Cities covered are Cape Town, Durban, Garden Route, Hartbeespoort, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Richards Bay.
If you want to go a step further and pull out all the stops, try making a meal from scratch. One of the best resources online, with over 50 000 options is Allrecipes. It has a community of more than 40 million cooks. Sift for ideas by cuisine, ingredient, dish type, etc; recipes include photos, nutritional information, or step-by-step video instructions.
Spoil mom with her favourite perfume, beauty products or even clothes by browsing first on the Edgars app. Use the app to see if the product or correct size item is available at your nearest store. Once you order it, you can have the product delivered to your closest branch.
If you live away from mom, one of the best personalised messages you can send are photos of you together. Download the PhotoCollage app, which is free, and start putting your special moments together in one picture. There are a variety of layouts to choose from, including wallpapers and photo walls.
