In case you missed the memo, Mother’s Day is this weekend – Sunday 10th May, which means you only have a few more sleeps to get something organised for the number one lady in your life; your Mumma!
I’ve had lots of fun teaming up with Eastland Shopping Centre to bring you my gift guides on the @melbournegirl instagram feed. Here’s a preview in case you missed them – you can click through to the instagram photos to discover the great pieces from each of their wonderful retailers.
If you’re still stuck for a present idea for your Mum, surprise her with a Mystery Escape voucher!
We know she deserves the best, so jet set Mum off to an unknown destination within Australia, with an itinerary specially designed just for her. Simply choose how long she stays, be it one, two or three nights, and the team from Escape Travel will take it from there to create a fantastic package featuring flights and minimum 4-star accommodation. Mum’s mystery destination will then be revealed a couple of days before departure, so she knows whether to pack bikinis or boots.

My Mom lost her Mother this year, this is her first Mother’s Day as an orphan – a terrible milestone we will all sadly face one day. Its hard to find the words to comfort somebody at such a time – a Mothers Day love heart necklace might say all of what our family are trying to say in one small special memorable gift.

The older I grow, the more I realise than my mother is the best friend I ever had, and the heart necklace will show and represent my LOVE for her 🙂
Nastasja Papanicolou
I recently turned 29 years old which means that (whilst we are not quite at the 30 year ‘pearl’ anniversary) the wonderful Sophie has been my mother through some crazy, incredible, and absolutely loving years.
She has grown from being my best friend to my soul mate, wherein there lies a connection superior to anything that can be described literally. I liken it to the energy the sun feels alongside the moon, and vice versa. It’s complex, interesting, yet unspokenly simple. We are like two hearts and one connecting energy. And this piece of silver would be symbolic of our maternal connection.
Trish Leonard
I would love to give this beautiful necklace to my mum to say thank you for being a wonderful mum and grandma.

My Mother passed away late last year, sadly, so I nominate my lovely Daughter inlaw. Mother to my two Grandchildren and a wonderful wife to my oldest Son.

Rachel K
My Mum’s my best friend who has helped guide me through life’s web. Sometimes I don’t even realize I need her but she is always there. This Mother’s Day I’m giving her a diary and entitling it “MUMS – the word!”
I also inscribed it “To my Mum – the person that gave and guides me through life! You have stood by me, watched and corrected me where you could. You motivated me to dream, to believe in myself. And when I was in trouble, you were my superhero! – I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU!”
Kelly Rivett
My mum has my heart forever and always,
But this year I need to show how it’s real.
She recently had her full knee replaced,
As you can imagine it was quite a deal.
Me and my sister all pulled together to take care,
For you can only imagine how it would feel.
But all of a sudden it was my twisted fate,
Surgery of my own causing me to truely reel.
But my mum put her pain and issues aside,
To nurse me, tend to me and listen to my every squeal.
Despite my issues trying to eat,
She got up to cook us all a meal.
So this year I need to give my mum my heart,
For this relationship is the will not peal
ROSEMARY HARRIS
After making sure her own children received an education, my mum anonymously sponsored teens from families in need, enabling them to stay at school and even on into university. She believes education is the key to being independent. She instilled in us good moral values, generosity, manners, kindness, empathy and a sense of humour to enable us to be the best people we could be. She deserves to wear this silver heart as a symbol for her great heart.
Sophie Hamilton
My mum is the most beautiful women I have met and really deserves this necklace. I really appreciate it when she makes me breakfast before I go to uni even though she starts work early.
Love you Mum!!
Saraskye

tracy baker
Mums been through the high and lows with me. She one in a million xx
Michelle V
I’d love to give it to my sister who is a single mum of two young girls aged 4 and 2, after fleeing an abusive relationship. She now works full time, 6 days a week to provide for them. She never treats herself so this would be ideal for her.
Mary
My Mum works overtime everyday, volunteers on weekends, a housewife and busy mum every minute of every day, she deserves little treasures to keep her smiling!

Mum is just there for me all the time!
Since moving out of home last year, their are pretty much daily calls to her to work through the smallest or biggest of problems and just to have some that listens to you! She is well deserving xx

Chelsie Henderson
why your Mum deserves a silver heart this Mother’s Day-
To compliment her golden heart, her beautiful nature and wonderful smile are what I love most about my mum. Her heart of gold could be never be expressed. But this little heart of silver could represent her in a tiny way.
Jess Hall
Selfless beyond belief, I’d love to make my mum’s day by presenting her with this gift! On Mother’s Day this year we ended up in the emergency room, as she slipped over whilst shopping for lunch for the family and sprained her wrist!
belinda Burns

Kim
Every mother deserves a heart in return for their motherhood.
To me my mum deserves the best for nurturing me into the person that I am today. Teaching me the rights and wrong, words of knowledge and the ability to believe in myself. My reflection that I can see in the mirror is of my mum.
Rochelle Firth
My mum needs a silver heart to wear, to remind her that I am always with her, regardless of distance! Living on opposite sides of the country can make it difficult, but something so precious would keep her close to me when I cannot be there !
Sophie Stafford
A silver heart for mum to wear would be like a hug from me everyday!!
