Mother's Day is on its way!

There's only 3 weeks until it's Mother's Day here in Australia so it's time to get your orders in, no pressure! Always allow time for the couriers to do their thing and remember that no deliveries are made on the weekend.

Gourmet Picnic - $125 delivered with gift card

Sunday May 14 is Mother's Day (the second Sunday in May) and is often a day spent at the park with a yummy picnic or in a special restaurant with the bubbles flowing. It's also the day you maybe lucky enough to get breakfast in bed!

Coffee and Cookies - $85 delivered with gift card

We've got lots of wonderful gifts to help you spoil your mum with, especially if you can't be with her. If she's a bit of a sweet tooth you could send her a yummy lolly box for just $29 or maybe she's a bit of a whizz in the kitchen and loves trying something new, our Maggie Beer, Simon Johnson or Perfect Spanish Paella hampers will make her day. If she's a bit of a bubbles type of gal how about our Something Very Special hamper or our Afternoon Tea gift - a real favourite and will show her how much you appreciate and love her.

Sweet Tooth gifts from $29 delivered with gift card

However you choose to celebrate your mum or special person on Mother's Day make sure it's done with love and smiles. A hug can go a long way but, like many of us, when we can't be there in person a lovely gift hamper with a thoughtful message attached will make their day and give them that warm fuzzy feeling just like a big squishy hug does.

Afternoon Tea - $100 delivered with gift card

Rainbow Bear Sweet Tooth Gift

Have you seen our Rainbow Bears?  Cute and cuddly, they measure 18cm and are available with the purchase of our Rainbow Bear Sweet Tooth Gift.

Our bears come in a myriad of rainbow colours and they are always a popular choice (especially pink and white as we are currently sold out of those two colours) - and we think mum will love them (and your best friend, sister, aunt, cousin and granny).

As sweet as our stuffed bears are, the gift is only made sweeter by a delicious half kilo mix of lollies.

Here is the drool-worthy list:

• Mars M&M's
• peanut M&M's
• freckles
• clinkers
• caramel choc buds
• milk choc buds
• Allens jellybabies
• snakes
• raspberries
• F1 race cars
• pineapples
• milk bottles
• strawberry & creams
• cobbers
• white chocolate freckles
• milk chocolate bullets
• dark chocolate bullets
• Allens jaffas
• white chocolate raspberry bullets,
• honey bears
• chocolate pineapple chunks
• red frogs
• green frogs
• Trolli gummi bears
• Allens fantales

We have heard many an interesting tale of recipients who go to great lengths NOT to share their delicious noodle box of goodies.  No surprise there, right?

So whether you are buying for Mother's Day or for another occasion (or just for yourself), you can order with peace of mind knowing that all of our gifts are securely packed in a cardboard box with tissue paper and gift wrapped in colourful Australian made wrapping paper.

We love our bears - every one of them and it is so hard to pick a favourite.  What colour will you order?

A Poem For Mum

Mother's Day is coming up soon - for those who celebrate the Australian version of the day, this year it falls on Sunday 11 May.

Our mums do so much for us and more often than not we only realise just how much they sacrifice for us as we grow older or even become mums ourselves.

Here is a poem that I found online which I thought was very apt:

Thank You Mum

I know how often I took you for granted
when I was growing up.
I always assumed you'd be there
when I needed you...
and you always were.
But I never really thought about what that meant
till I got older and began to realize
how often your time and energy were devoted to me.
so now, for all the times I didn't say it before,
thank you, Mom...I love you so very much!

If you are feeling creative this Mother's Day why not write your mum a poem of your own.  If you find your words somehow are not a reflection of your feelings, then maybe one of our gifts will suffice.

We have an interesting selection of Mother's Day gifts including our Afternoon Tea Hamper and Cravings - Pick Your Mix which I am sure your mum will love.  Don't forget to order a special little something for yourself if you are a mum too (or even if you aren't) - after all you deserve it too!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there.
