Spoil Mum with these great gifts from Subiaco
While COVID-19 may change the way we celebrate Mother’s Day this year, let’s make sure it still continues to be a magical day for Mum and thank her for all the amazing things she does for us.
Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday 10 May and if we’ve caught you by surprise and you haven’t purchased a gift yet - don’t worry! We’ve rounded up a list of gift ideas you’ll find in Subiaco that Mum will love.
A page-turner
We think there’s nothing more relaxing than spending an afternoon with a great book and a soothing cup of tea. And that’s why they make such a great gift. So whether your Mum is into biographies, travel, thrillers, romance novels or cookbooks, the team at
Dymocks or the
Subiaco Bookshop will help pick the perfect page-turner for Mum.
A great hair day
We all know the power of a great hair day. That undeniable feeling that we can (and will) conquer anything that is thrown our way. Give Mum the gift of a great hair day by booking her into see her local hairdresser. While many beauty services are restricted, thankfully getting your hair done is not. Tie in a hair treatment with her cut and blow-dry - it will make her feel absolutely fabulous. Check what's open
here.
At home pampering
To continue the pampering theme, pop into
L'occitane or
Mecca on Rokeby Road and you’ll find some amazing products for pampering at home. Pick up a face mask, hair treatment, eye cream and so on – that’s an indulgent spa day in the making.
Something sparkly
There’s never an occasion where the gift of jewellery isn’t well received. A bracelet, ear rings, bangles, rings, watches and more. The options are endless and Subi has countless jewellery stores to shop from. There's
Linneys,
Ecali Fine Jewellery,
Smales Jewellers, and
Kul Kul, just to name a few. They all have their own unique range of jewellery that will have you spoilt for choice.
A local trip to Italy
While we can’t travel to Italy at the moment, you can still gift something Italian. There’s plenty to choose from in Subiaco - how about Italian shoes from
Dimario, Italian cuisine from
The Corner Italian or what about online Italian language classes from
Multicultural Language Centre? Or why not all three? It is guaranteed to make Mum feel like she’s living
la dolce vita while in isolation.
A gourmet gift
If Mum is a bit of a foodie, then you’ll want to head to Subiaco’s many gourmet delis such as
Simon Johnson Providore,
Urban Soul Foods and
Growers Lane to put together a special gift of all of her favourite treats in one very gourmet hamper or take the easy route and grab a
Grazing Box from Bloody French.
If you're Mum is a sweet tooth, head over to
Boulca! They've just re-opened and have a number of amazing and delicious cakes available for Mother's Day. We're drooling just thinking about it.
Something to adorn the home
Table Culture has an amazing range of unique homewares from around the globe and local suppliers, all of which make great gifts! They have an online store so you can browse online or call in and use their Face-Time option so to shop in-store (virtually) and have it delivered directly to Mum.
A handmade artisan gift
For a selection of handmade artisan gifts head to
Subi Farmers Market on Saturdays from 9am. They are still operating but are slightly smaller, having moved to Earthwise Community to ensure public safety. You’ll still find a range of amazing products there including some great gifts for Mum.
If you prefer to shop at home, no worries, visit
Marianne Annereau Handmade Ceramics or
Bespoke Candles for a unique locally handmade gift.
