We all have superheroes and, for most of, mum is the biggest one of all. Treat your original super-heroine to something special this Mother’s Day with our made-for-mum deals!
Awesome gifts
She taught you how to stop and smell the roses. Say I love you back to mum with a bouquet of perfect, sweet blooms from Cattie Florist, Sydney. And this is one mouth-off to mum that won’t earn you a time out. Gift her the ultimate storytelling marathon with audiobooks from Audible.com.au.
In the age of Susan Sarandon, why should your mum be hiding herself in dad’s old jeans? Gift mum a month-long pass for yoga classes at Bonfire Health so she can keep her heart healthy and looking good!
In mum’s hands, time stretches like taffy, which is why she was there to play with you even after that gruelling day at work. Preserve her a slice of time with a one-hour photo shoot with the family at Viva Photography, Melbourne. Or gift her a delightful candle-making class at Early Settler Aromatherapy — she will so engrossed making scented candles she won’t notice your new tattoo!
Unforgettable Experiences
Put a whole new spin on the phrase ‘Helicopter Mum’ when you gift your Mum a chopper ride with V2 helicopters. The only place mum will be hovering over is the gorgeous cityscape of Brisbane.
Now that you’re a bona fide adult, mum may actually comply with your request to go out drinking. Treat her to a sophisticated Hunter Valley wine-tasting tour with Three Coaches.
And even super-heroines need to take off their capes sometimes. Give mum a break with the two and a half hours long Mother’s Day pamper package at Lotus Spa.
Dining out and a Movie
When Mama Bears go to high tea, they clean up the table without leaving a smidge of cream on their claws. All mums, tame and wild, love sophistication, so spoil yours with a high tea buffet featuring scones, canapes and champagne at the Sir Stamford Circular Quay.
Mums love butter-fried prawns, especially when they don’t have to devein those themselves. Spoil mum with a cruise including drinks, buffet lunch and 360-degree views of the Sydney Harbour. Or indulge her with a chocolate tasting plate featuring raspberry sorbet and Belgian chocolates!
What Sup is a way to ask for the menu and not a social media app. Keep it classic and treat your mother to fine dining at chef- hatted Katers Restaurant, redolent with veal cheeks and duck breast.
Finally, now that you’re not four (we hope) and kicking the seats in front of you, mum will actually like to accompany you to the theatre. Put a spin on an old childhood memory and treat her to the movies and a bucket of popcorn at Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, Cremorne.
Spoil mum with us and you’ll be clearing a shelf to keep your Daughter/Son of the Year Trophy. Not to mention, mum will be beaming and will forget about you being still single/not a doctor for some time!
