Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and if you’ve left present shopping to the last minute, we’re here to help! We’ve done the hard work for you and hit Prahran Market’s aisles to bring you a round-up of some of our favourite Mother’s Day gifts.
Botanical Body Oils & Pottery Cups – Shop Neutral
Shop Neutral has a great range of perfumes and bathing products in store, but we are especially loving the Botanical Body Oils by Essentials Lab. They also have the most beautiful pottery cups that are made locally by Lilly Pilly – not only are they reusable cups but they look like pieces of art.
Tableware – The Essential Ingredient
The Essential Ingredient has everything that any avid cook could need, but we suggest checking out the large range of beautiful serving bowls that they have in store right now. Whether used for entertaining or as a stunning table centrepiece, your mum is sure to love it.
Flower bouquet – Clara’s Flowers & Flawless Flowers
Every mum loves receiving a big bunch of flowers on Mother’s Day, so head to Clara’s Flowers or Flawless Flowers and speak to the teams about putting together the perfect bouquet for the special lady in your life. We couldn’t go past the local Dahlias in stock at the moment!
Box of Fruit – Pino’s Fine Produce
Head to Pino’s Fine Produce and let them sort your Mother’s Day out with a box of fresh seasonal produce. Choose from a huge stack of fruit and veg from the display or let John and the team help you decide – they can make it as big or small as you like. Go one step further and cook her dinner with all the beautiful produce.
Heat & Eat Dinner – Stir The Pot
Stir The Pot has a great range of ready to heat meals that you can take home to mum for a delicious, healthy, nutritious dinner (where someone else has done all the work!). Our suggestion would be the Teriyaki Baked Salmon that’s available by the piece or as a whole side of salmon. They also have plenty of seasonal sides and salads to choose from.
Cake – Sweet Greek
Make Mother’s Day sweet this year with a delectable cake from Sweet Greek. The gluten-free drizzle cakes are sure to impress, and if you want to have a go at making Sweet Greek’s dishes yourself (or your mum loves cooking), grab a copy of Kathy Tsaple’s books ‘Sweet Greek’ and ‘Sweet Greek Life’.
Snowballs and Turkish Delight – Naheda’s Choice
If your mum has a sweet tooth, a Turkish Delight gift box from Naheda’s Choice is sure to hit the spot. Our favourite for mum is the rose petal-covered Turkish Delight. We also love the snowballs – gooey, smooth marshmallow on a wafer base covered in chocolate. These tempting morsels are only stocked once a year, and come packaged beautifully in a gift box of five.
Bottle of Wine – Blackhearts & Sparrows
Let mum sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of vino on her special day. Not sure what to buy? The Blackhearts and Sparrows team recommend a Clare Valley blend from the Koerner brothers, featuring subtle violet aromatics leading into mulberry, cassis, grainy sandy tannins, crushed rock, a leafiness and underlying savoury character. Perfect for sharing at the dinner table on Mother’s Day, they say!
Mother’s Day Card – Donnally Variety Shop
Don’t forget mum’s card this year! Donnally Variety Shop has a lovely selection to choose from.
Prahran Market Gift Card
If your mum is a shopaholic or a regular Market-shopper, why not spoil her with a Prahran Market gift voucher? Available in denominations of $10 and $50, all vouchers can be used at participating Market Traders and are valid for three years!
