As mums and women, we almost always put everyone else before ourselves.
We often redirect our ambitions to care for those around us, sometimes sacrificing them indefinitely. We give everything we have, and then give some more. Mother’s Day is an opportunity for us to put aside the guilt of putting what we want first and say, ‘yes actually, I deserve it’.
If you’re giving the gift or looking for something you’d like to receive, here are some joyful gift ideas for mums:
Joy DVD
Starring Oscar Winner Jennifer Lawrence, the seriously fine gent, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. Joy, is a lighthearted comedy following a woman’s very unconventional family situation, her rise and battle to get a business of the ground to become the founder of a successful family business. Out Now on DVD at JB HiFi, farm the kids off to the grandparents and crack out the popcorn!
Chocolate Making Workshop
This chocolate-making workshop is all about chocolate-making in a dream setting. You’ll make gorgeous hand-made chocolates in a fully equipped commercial Melbourne kitchen. Under the guidance of a professional chocolatier, you’ll be preparing ganache filling, chocolate curls, and more!
Picnic At The Park
A picnic is a great way to reconnect with one another and spend time as a family. You can go to as much effort as you like or keep it casual. Packing all your food, drinks, utensils, cups, crockery and napkins in a basket, can be made even more special with some family games and activities. You could plan a simple scavenger hunt or bring coights or bocce.
A Milliners Course with High Tea
Combine the delights of a high tea with an introduction to the art and traditional techniques of millinery and make a unique fun, frivolous, or simply elegant headpiece.
Seeds To Her Favourite Flowers
Many of us are on the lookout for a gift that will last longer than a bunch of flowers. You could give her a selection of flower seeds that have special meanings, or make it pot luck with a mixture of native wild flowers.
A Monthly Beauty Box Subscription
The gift that keeps on gifting! Every month a box full of luxe goodies will be delivered for mum to sample. They include everything from skincare, to makeup and colour products, hair care, and body care.
Yoga Classes
Or whatever health and wellbeing classes she might like to try, session passes are an ideal gift to look good, feel great and have a little break.
The Day Off
We all know being a mum can be all consuming, all the time. And if that’s what you or you mum truly wishes – to avoid and domestic duties and boogy noses, then so be it.
Give the gift of joy this Mother’s Day, whatever makes her happy.
