We all have the most responsible friend in our group. Show the mom of your barkada appreciation this Mother’s Day with interesting gift ideas
Your barkada is more than just a group of friends— they’re a family. They’ve shared countless memories, inside jokes, and have been there for you through thick and thin. Having a core group is truly a gift, but having that one friend who acts like the mother of the group is indeed a blessing. She’s the one with the motherly touch and gives pieces of advice and calls you out when needed.
And as Mother’s Day approaches, it’s the perfect opportunity to show some love and appreciation to the mom of your barkada, who has undoubtedly played an important role in your life and the lives of your closest friends.

Whether it’s providing the best post break-up advice, a shoulder to cry on, or holding your hair up after a drunken night out, your group’s honorary mom has likely gone above and beyond to make sure that your barkada feels like a second home. And while you may not be able to repay her for everything she’s done, a thoughtful gift on Mother’s Day is a great way to show her that you appreciate and love her.
Framed Photo of Your Barkada
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a framed photo of your barkada is a great way to capture all the memories you’ve shared over the years. Choose a favorite photo of the group, and have it framed in a beautiful frame that your barkada mom can display in her home. Every time she sees it, she’ll be reminded of all the good times you’ve had together.
Merch from Her Favorite Band
If the mom of your barkada is a music lover, surprise her with some merch from her favorite band. Whether it’s a t-shirt, hoodie, or a vinyl record, she’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness and love that went into choosing a gift that showcases her favorite idols.
Basket of Sweet Treats
Who doesn’t love indulging in some sweet treats every once in a while? Put together a basket of her favorite chocolates, candies, and baked goods. She’ll love being able to snack on her favorite treats, and it’s a great way to show her that you know her tastes well.
T-Shirt That Says “I Told You So”
We all have those moments where we say “I told you so,” and the mom of your barkada is no exception. Gift her with a t-shirt that says just that. It’s a playful way to show her that you appreciate her wisdom and guidance, even if you don’t always listen to it.
Free Night Where She Can Be the Careless One
Being the mom of the barkada can be stressful, and sometimes all she needs is a night to let loose and have some fun. Give her the gift of a free night where she can be the careless one. Make sure she takes an extra shot before spending a night with the girlies! Don’t forget to drink responsibly though!
