Need a Mother’s Day gift for the amazing women in your life? Why not purchase your gift from a local business? We have listed the businesses we know of in the Macedon Ranges and surrounds. Feel free to message or comment if we’ve missed your favourite and we’ll add them in. We want to support as many local businesses as we can.
(All underlined businesses are in our Shop Local Initiative – click on them to find out more details and if you buy a Macedon Ranges Mumma keyring, you can receive the discount or deal they provide to our keyring holders).
Flowers: A stereotypical gift, I know, but often a winner. I know I love a bunch of fresh flowers any time for any reason or no reason. (This is a hint if my other half is reading this!). Check out: Gisborne Cottage Flowers, Gisborne Flower Shoppe, Macedon Ranges Florist, About Flowers, State of Nature and the Hidden Florist.
Pamper sessions: Give the gift of rest and relaxation with a voucher for the beautiful Ritual Sauna, products or a Jiwamu facial or massage from Gisborne Health Essentials, the blissful AromaTouch session from The Aroma Room, treatment from The Spa – Skin & Body, or a mumma makeover by Anaste Hair & Beauty.
Bags and purses: Are you even a mum if you don’t have a purse, handbag or travel bag to hold those essentials like bandaids, toy cars, snacks and water bottles? Check out local businesses Cool Clutch and Three Little Rams.
Drinks: Stop Mum’s whine with a wine or whatever tickles her fancy, whether that is great quality coffee, beautiful tea, hot chocolate, kombucha, cider, champagne or beer. Check out: Gisborne Peak Winery, Tea of Earth, Daylesford Cider Co and DV Cider.
Clothes: Treat Mum to a voucher or a shopping trip if she would like to add to her wardrobe. Try: Style 25, Loujo, Intimo lingerie and clothing via Sarah if you’re in Gisborne, Intimo with Natalie Barbour if you’re in Riddells Creek.
Homewares: It’s the perfect time to reorganise, declutter and decorate the home. Check out: Gisborne Village Homewares, Mort and Pestle, Riddell’s Creek Convenience Store, Woodend General Store and enlist The Lifestyle Managers to assist with the decluttering part.
Food: Does Mum love a good meal? Organise a beautiful brunch, lunch or dinner out, or package up some of her favourites. We know many who love: Kuzu Izakaya, Gisborne Peak Winery, Baringo Food and Wine Co’s Provedore, OMG Decadent Donuts, 3 Little Pigs, and don’t forget our fantastic local markets, where you can find amazing honey, jams, olives, wines, cider, just to name a few delish edible items.
Classes: Invest in a class or two for Mum. There are many amazing fitness studios, gyms and wellness centres in the Ranges. Give your mum the gift of health and vitality. Check out: Ranges Personal Training, BodyFit by Holly May, Pilates Plus, Macedon Ranges Aqua Aerobics, Yogaflow with Jo, Change It Up Training.
Books: Is your mum a reader? Give a great read and then allow Mum some uninterrupted time to fully enjoy it. Check out: Aesop’s Attic in Kyneton and Red Door Books and Lancefield.
Photos: We are yet to find a mum who doesn’t melt at a cute photo of her brood. Whether you get prints, make a calendar, frame a super special pic or have a photo printed on coasters or a t-shirt, Mum will love the effort you have gone to. Check out: Maddisons Gisborne, Autocopy or Magnum Signs. To organise a photo shoot, try one of our favourites, Wild Little Swallows Photography, Maple Gallery Photography, Lisa Saddington Photography, Aurora Joy Photography and Leigh Ball Photography.
Something different: Every Mum is different. You know your mum best. She might like; crafty items from The Craft Table; some health related gifts from Gisborne Health Essentials; gorgeous gift packs from Sensory Wellness; a beautiful plant or gardening gear from Riddells Creek Nursery; a personalised items by Laser Blanks; a game to play with the family from Boardgame Goblin; coaching from Stress Free Super Mum or Midlife Rebel, an appointment with or crystals from The Spiritual Closet, or love unique pendants by Serendipity Creations. If you are not sure what to get Mum, a hamper might do the trick. Check out: Macedon Ranges Hampers and The Picnic Sisters.
Give the gift that keeps on giving! Another great idea is getting Mum a Macedon Ranges Mumma keyring. With the keyring, Mum can access a whole range of discounts and deals. You can buy one at Laser Blanks in Romsey, Maddison’s in Gisborne or online.
We hope we’ve given you a few ideas. Don’t leave it too late to order your pressies, especially if you want them delivered. As a mum, I can honestly say yours will appreciate the effort, whatever you give her and some kind words in a card never goes astray either.
Happy Mother’s Day, mums! I hope you are spoiled on your special day!
