We know all Mums just want love from their children and perhaps a cup of tea in bed on Mother’s Day. That’s just how Mums roll; they are a selfless lot. However, just in case your Mum maybe, possibly wants a little more in the way of being spoiled on her special day, here are a few gift ideas you can find in Toowoomba.
A flower and candle package including delivery, from Dawn Osborne Florist and Harolds Finishing Touches
Google says to celebrate Mother’s Day in the early 1900s people wore white carnations when their mother had passed away, and coloured carnations if they were still living.
We might not do the carnation thing anymore but flowers are still a perfect Mother’s Day gift, and Toowoomba’s Dawn Osborne Florist prepares posies that are modern, creative and eye-catching. They’ve teamed up with the interior design experts at Harolds Finishing Touches to offer a Mother’s Day special. A bunch of posies and limited edition Posy candle can be delivered Mother’s Day weekend for $85.
They’ll also be running a giveaway for Mother’s Day, so keep an eye on the Dawn Osborne Florist Facebook and Harolds Finishing Touches Facebook for that!
Jewellery from Lannah Dunn
If you need to make Mother’s Day super special, then head to Toowoomba institution Lannah Dunn for fine jewellery that’s memorable and totally unique.
Homewares from The Bungalow and Basket 
You don’t have to be a Mum to appreciate the treats at Bungalow. This Toowoomba gift and coffee shop is packed with beautiful items like art, books, candles and jewellery. At the moment you’ll find some cute little ceramic bowls and clay gift tags emblazoned with messages of love for mum. These are just $20 each, while their paper gift swing tags are $3.50.
Cooking lesson from The Sauce Kitchen
Yeahhh so maybe don’t get this for the Mum who would take it as an insult. But if your Mum is pretty chill about her lack of cooking skills, or just simply loves to get in the kitchen like it’s MKR every night, she might love a class at The Sauce Kitchen. Classes coming up include Barista Training, Asian Dinner Party and Cupcakes and Buttercream.
