Capybara Bathing Singapore has just opened its 1st outlet in Singapore, offering hot lounges, a hot stone sauna, cold plunges, and communal baths. For just $55 for 90 minutes, your mum will get to enjoy a relaxing session at the bathhouse, where she’ll get full access to their facilities. With the minimalistic modern decor and cute capybara touches all around, the space is practically designed to help her switch off and unwind.
The bathhouse also regularly hosts immersive experiences like the Flow & Soak ($108), where your mum gets to experience a 45-minute vinyasa flow yoga session followed by a 75-minute bathing session, accompanied by a sound bath in the hot mineral pool. There’s also the Aufguss Sauna Ritual ($55), an uplifting ritual for the body and mind by combining Nordic traditions, heat, scent, music, and towel swinging.

Flower delivery can get pricey, and even if you are assembling bouquets yourself, you’ll still need to spend a bit on the blooms and materials. But Crystal Flower at Chinatown Complex lets you pick out your own flowers and decorations at affordable prices, with most bouquets priced under $45. If you’re unsure about which blooms go well together, don’t fret – the aunty manning the store will be more than happy to help you.
If you haven’t already spent them all, the store also accepts CDC vouchers, so you can reallocate your gift budget elsewhere to gain extra brownie points.
