IKEA
Nothing can go wrong when visiting the colossal IKEA store in Pasay, especially if your mom is super into home improvement and decoration. They have over 9,000 furniture and home products on display plus some showrooms you can go through for some design inspiration. Everything that you may need at home—from the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom, among others—can be found here, but we have to warn you that it can get pretty tiring having to try and explore everything in one go so make sure mom’s prepared (not that she would mind getting lost in such a store). And hey, if you do get out unscathed, you and your mom can unwind over their famous Swedish meatballs.
IKEA is located at MOA Square, Mall of Asia Complex Zone 10 CBP-IA, Marina Way, Pasay City, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Automatic Centre
Are there some appliances at home that need replacing or upgrading? You and mom can go look for home and kitchen appliances and essentials at affordable prices at the Automatic Centre outlet store in Mandaluyong City. You can find televisions, refrigerators, air fryers, heck, and even aircon units from major brands left and right. There are gadgets and accessories up for grabs here, too.
The Automatic Centre outlet store is at 11 Benito Building, Sheridan St., Mandaluyong City.

Charles & Keith
There's no such thing as too many bags and shoes, at least in Mom's vocabulary. If that rings true for your own mom, bring them to a Charles & Keith store to window shop or spoil her with the latest in bags, shoes, wallets, and even accessories like sunglasses and jewelry if you can.
Muradito Home
Need a new set of kitchen and tableware? The special and fancy, guests-are-coming kind, we mean. Mom will have a field day going through the wide range of products for the dining area and kitchen at Muradito Home, aka the "secret go-to home decor place." Whatever aesthetic or look you're going for, you can find all of them here. There are plates, glasses, cutlery, even placemats, serving trays, and containers in various colors, forms, designs, and sizes.
Muradito Home is located at 7 Sulu Street, Barangay Nayong Kanluran, Quezon City, and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Uniqlo
It’s a win-win situation for both you and mom when you drop by a Uniqlo store. The popular Japanese lifewear brand has several branches in the Metro so you won’t have any trouble finding one, and if you’re game for a trip, you can even drive up to one of their roadside stores. There you can stock up on some of the high-quality yet affordable lifewear pieces and get your mom’s wardrobe the refresh it needs.
