Mums are a treasure, they are always there when you need them and a big hug and an "I love you" mean so much.

It is always hard to find that perfect gift for Mum. I am a big believer in gifts made with love, my favourite, homemade passionfruit curd over meringues or strawberry jam and scones.

I do though love shopping for gifts. Here are some ideas:

  • A gift that will give your Mum years of enjoyment and colour - a vibrant rose bush or flowering shrub to plant in the back yard. Bunnings have a wonderful selection of plants.


  • Peter Alexander , the original pyjama king, has some fantastic and beautiful sleep wear and gifts for Mum. Phone (07) 5534 7898 or visit their website.

  • The Iconic is always full of great items and offer quick delivery on clothes, shoes and handbags.

  • [ADVERT]* Create a pendant from Pandora . Purchase a long leather strand at Pandora , choose one or two beautiful charms, thread through both ends of strand and knot below charms. The result - a beautifully inspired pendant for Mum.

  • I popped into KMart the other day and was pleasantly surprised with snuggly gowns and sleepwear, gorgeous sweaters, and books and DVD's all at very reasonable prices.

  • A great cause and one close to my heart - donate and provide support to the Breast Cancer Fund Mother's Day Classic , or better still, it is not too late to register online to gather family and friends, kids included, and participate in this event at Broadbeach.

  • An absolute treasure, Coolabah Charms creates personalised hand stamped gold or silver pendants. A truly unique and special family gift.

  • Red Balloon have some wonderful gifts, ideas and experiences for Mother's Day. Whether you want something invigorating or relaxing, you will find it at Red Balloon .

  • For something totally left field and for the mums who love the tropics and creativity, book a trip to Fiji. Paradise Courses have yoga, art/painting, snorkelling, and writing getaways at Daku Resort in Vanua Levi, Fiji.

  • But Mother's Day is also just perfect to be spontaneous and create wonderful memories. Whisk your Mum away to a concert, show or the gold class movies, or organise quick family getaway - Jetstar has flights going at great prices.

    Lastly, create a special breakfast in bed at home for mum. Dress a breakfast tray with flowers, homemade pancakes topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit and a welcoming cuppa and book.

    My Mother's Day Pancakes

    2 cups self raising flour
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 cups milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla essence

    Mix all ingredients in bowl. Drop big spoonful of mixture onto a hot, lightly greased (use butter), non-stick fry pan. Turn pancake over when bubbles start to burst onto top surface. Cook second side until golden. Place in oven to keep warm and cook rest of mixture.

    To serve place two or three pancakes on a plate and top with strawberries and maple syrup. Serves four.


    Happy Mother's Day with love xx
