Mention Delifrance and one would conjure up images of its delectable tarts and pastries, which are perennial office party favourites; crusty baguettes, perfect companion for homey chicken curries or just with a dollop of quality butter. Also not forgetting its popular buttery croissants stuffed end-to-end with tuna\/egg or chicken mayo (whatever fillings you fancy) oozing out from the leaves of crisp salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Last weekend, Delifrance, Singapore\u2019s pioneer and most iconic French-style caf\u00e9 hosted some Daddy Bloggers and our kids to a fun-filled Mothers\u2019 Day Handicraft Session where we made (yes we did!) 3D Memo Holders <\/b>using air-clay as an early Mother\u2019s Day gift. This being our first time handling and modelling with air-clay, I would say we did a fairly decent job (thanks to the help of the patient instructor!). When it comes to gifts, it\u2019s always the thought that counts right? All three clay memo holders now sit proudly on our study table at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Kudos to Delifrance for coming up with a wonderful session for Daddies and our children to bond over a simple yet meaningful craft-making session. Rather than just going into a shop and pick something off the shelf, we made and personalized a gift that’s one-of-a-kind in the world….just like Mommy herself!  Viva la’ Mommy!<\/div>\n
