Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and we’re just about certain that you’re racking your brain for amazing gift ideas. We’ve done the leg-work and rounded up the best Mother’s Day presents — that aren’t candles or slippers — to show your appreciation and snag that favourite child title.
Paint & Sip Class
An evening of alcohol-inspired arts and crafts at one of Perth’s many paint and sip classes is a ticket to a fun night out. So, why not buy your Mum a double voucher, so you can hone your inner artistic genius together, with a glass in hand. Whether you’re there for a boozy night or to show off your creative flair, it’s the perfect way to while away the hours in the name of Mother’s Day.
Gin School at Republic of Fremantle
Gift your Mum the unique experience of being a distiller for a day. Kicking off with a gin and tonic on arrival, she’ll distil her very own 500ml bottle of gin with a lesson from Republic of Fremantle’s spirit experts. She’ll also learn about distilling history and processes, before choosing between floral, spiced, zesty, and savoury botanical combinations.
Facial at Fleur Skin and Wellness Studio
Perth is home to a collection of world-class skin experts and clinics certain to have you glowing and radiant. Our favourite is Fleur Skin and Wellness Studio — a bespoke wellness spa blending advanced modern technology with ancient, holistic practices. Founded by dermal therapist and skin expert, Naomi Henderson, the tranquil, light-filled clinic oozes all things Byron Bay. It’s also the perfect place to unwind with a bounty of treatments to rejuvenate your mind and restore your soul.
A thrilling, adrenaline-filled experience
For a Mother’s Day gift that’s absolutely guaranteed to knock her socks off, Red Balloon has a range of exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping experiences that she will never forget. Think flying adventures like a tandem skydive over Rottnest Island or a scenic helicopter flight. A hot air balloon ride over the Avon Valley is also sure to impress.
Flowers
It’s a cliche because it’s true. We can all agree that opening the front door to a bunch of unexpected flowers is one of the best warm fuzzies going around. And it’s no exaggeration that Perth is home to a plethora of incredible florists. Some of our favourites include The Flower Run, The Flower Hound, and The Little Posy Co. You’re sure to make your Mum’s day.
Bottomless Brunch
Some mornings call for sleep-ins and others call for free-flowing mimosas and food aplenty. For a breakfast feast complete with all the trimmings, how about a voucher to spend on one of Perth’s best bottomless brunches. We love the Saturday brunch at The Beaufort, Turquoise Café, The Garden, and Tiisch.
Massage at BODHI Spa
You can’t go wrong with a massage voucher, so why not grab a BODHI Spa voucher. This all-inclusive retreat feels like a home away from home with locations including Cottesloe, Highgate, Wembley, and Yallingup. The opportunities are endless with everything from all-day spa options to massages, wellness therapies, and quick 30-minute facials.
Pottery Class
For something a little arty, how about a voucher to get your hands dirty at one of Perth’s best pottery classes. House of Hobby runs all sorts of wonderful workshops but one of our favourites is their pottery class. Depending on the session you choose, you’ll get free-flowing bubbles or wine, so you’ll be sure to have the creative juices in overdrive.
Cooking Class
If food is her thing, a cooking class might just be the perfect Mother’s Day gift. There are so many great Perth cooking classes to discover new culinary tips and tricks, but our favourite is the West Perth-based, Salt & Company. Here, they believe cooking is art, but you can eat it too. The classes are hands-on, interactive, and enjoyable, with experienced instructors guiding you through recipes ranging from Greek and Italian to Sri Lankan and French. You’ll learn techniques to take your cooking to the next level, as well as the fundamentals of each cuisine, and the purpose of key ingredients. Delizioso!
Stylist session with Courtney Mills Style
For something a little different, how about a stylist session with a personal stylist? Courtney Mills offers a range of styling packages including personal shopping and wardrobe refresh options. Courtney also hosts a Style School where you discover your authentic style instead of blindly following trends, learn how to dress to enhance your body, and how to curate a fun and joyful wardrobe.
