How to celebrate a quarantined Mother’s Day

FLOWER POWER

Flowers might not seem like the most original idea but the roses delivered by Champs Fleur are naturally preserved to last for a year and need no watering or maintenance to keep blooming. They also come arranged in a minimal, elegant style. Orders (Hyderabad only) can be placed at ChampsFleur.com.

HAPPINESS YOU CAN EAT

Mumbai’s Ether Atelier Chocolat, run by chef Prateek Bakhtiani, is delivering chocolates inspired by exotic flavours, from musky wood to sweet juniper. It also has seasonal special bake-along kits, in case you want to use some special ingredients. Orders (Mumbai only) can be placed at EtherChocolate.com.

JUST KEEP READING
