Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Hi people :)

So mothers day is only a week and two days away and i have a nice list of gift ideas for all those people out there that haven't gotten around to getting/doing something nice for their mother.

Lush:
Lush have once again bought out some beautiful mothers day specific gifts such as the Happy Mothers Day gift pack and the The Mum bubble bar. Although i'm sure if your mum's into bath stuff you could get away with giving her anything from the Lush line (i know i love all lush stuff!). They have stores in all major australian cities otherwise you have until may 8th to order online for mothers day delivery.

PJs and Slippers:
Not very original but always a winner with my mum. Its great that mothers day falls so close to winter in australia, a good excuse to buy mum some warm pjs and slippers for mothers day. Peter Alexander have a great range of good quality pjs on offer this season (see here) as well as some cute accessories (here). If your not keen on spending that much for Pjs, target has some really affordable nice looking sets in their catalogue at the moment (see here). One particular pair of slippers i bought mum last year where from www.blumoose.com.au and they are the most soft and warm slippers i had ever gifted and as i write this mum is wearing them (good gift when she still wears them a year later :D ).



Fragrance:
Whether you want to spend a lot or a little on your mum this mothers day there are many nice options available fragrance wise. Chemist warehouse always has discounted prices on over 200 well known fragrances which is always heaps cheaper than buying from large department stores such as Myer and David jones (here's the link to their perfume selection). Priceline also offer some nice gift packs for under $100 such as the Chloe and Marc Jacobs Lola packs. If your looking to purchase something a little more pricey, my pick would be the new Roberto Cavalli EDP which i smelt last week. This is now on my birthday wish list!
Adventure/Experience:
Depending on your mother you might want to give the gift of adventure/experience.
Redballoon.com.au offers over 2000 experiences ranging from $15 to $15000. My picks would be A massage at home, Champagne Breakfast for 2, or for the adventure mum maybe some paintball? Another good gift option is the 'Mummy: Secrets of the tomb' exhibition on at the Queensland Museum Southbank. Tickets are only $22 for adults and available from www.foxtix.com.au. The exhibition runs until August 19th but if your going to book do it soon because lots of sessions are already sold out.


Flowers and Dinner:
It's always a nice gesture to give mum a break for one night and cook her a nice home made dinner. I like to find all my recipes from www.taste.com.au. A good trick is to type in what your thinking of making and then clicking 'highest rated', that what it weeds out all the recipes that may not be so nice once cooked. If your not keen on cooking/good a cooking why not find a decent restaurant and book a table. Www.eatability.com.au is a good site full of reviews and star rating which makes it easy to pick a nice restaurant in your town. An always nice addition to dinner are the bunch of flowers. I like to buy mine from a local florist or Woolworths (they are really well priced!) otherwise having a nice bunch delivered from an australia wide flower service will be just as good (eg. www.easyflowers.com.au, www.rosesonly.com.au, www.fastflowers.com.au or www.1300flowers.com.au).


What have you decided to do for your mum this mothers day?
Have a good weekend!
