Mother’s Day has come and gone, and chances are you spoilt mommy dearest with some chocolates or a bunch of roses.

Or both, because you’re just the best kid anyone could hope for.

Now to help you guys spoil your mom (or anyone of your choosing, really) we teamed up with Gather Online, the new social network making waves around the world, for a pretty fine competition.

We gave readers the chance to pick a gift worth up to R2 000 for someone special, tell us why the person is so deserving over at Gather Online, and then watched who ended with the most ‘thumbs up’ votes on their entry.

It looks like Talia Komal’s mother is going to be stoked, because that’s who has some super warm boots coming their way.

Talia, we hope we’re not spoiling the surprise but your message for mom is pretty special:

Bring on the winter chills – and rain, if we”re being demanding.

If you haven’t yet had a look at what Gather Online is all about, or downloaded the fantastic new app, you should check out why reports say it’s growing faster than Snapchat.

Happy belated Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, by the way, we salute you.
