Mum’s the word

Mothers Day is around the corner, and there’s no one out there more deserving (in many cases) of a thoughtful gift. They’re selfless, and request nothing, but we all know that means we have to dig a little deeper and make it a bit more meaningful.

So behold another gift guide, but this time I’m really trying to opt into clean ingredients for our matriarch.

This first one isn’t a physical item, but I know it’s one she’ll treasure if she’s into good food, great wine and classic movies.

Hubert (1 Bligh Street, Sydney) Magnums & Movies:

From the 19th of April all the way to the 2nd of August, spoil mum with an experience.

Dirty Dancing is playing on Mothers day and I don’t know about you, but that’s my Mothers all time favourite.. including canapes on arrival, French-buttered popcorn, a banquet dinner at intermission and free-flowing wine… do I need to say more? Really?

Mum’s Recipes:

Is she an avid cook? Does she create classics on the spot? Some of my highlights in childhood date back to our home cooked meals by mum. I need her to write down some of the greats to make them for my kids one day…

Perfume or Parfum:

Diamonds:

Give mum something bespoke, timeless and ready to wear. So she knows she’s always celebrated.

The KDJ Diamond Initial Necklace spelt MUM, or if she prefers something softer, opt for the KDJ Diamond Initial Necklace with her initials. Both impeccable options.

Dyson:

Any old Dyson would do… but I’m sure she’ll love the new Dyson Airstrait, a two in one duo that dries and straightens your hair at the same time. Mothers are on the run and constantly busy, so it only makes sense to make her life a little easier.

Robe:

When in doubt - PJ’s or a robe.

I found a 100% Australian cotton robe from Hommey that she’s sure to love.

My love to all the mums out there, you’re doing better than great sweetie.
