A Very Bayside Mother’s Day
It takes both strength and dedication to raise another human being, and she’s probably been prioritising your wellbeing over hers since the day you were born. Sunday, May 8th is the day to thank mum for everything she’s done for you, so make her feel special with C&G’s best ideas for the best Mother’s Day in Bayside.
Dinner at the Middle Brighton Baths
Sprawled along the esplanade, the restaurant at the Middle Brighton Baths offers a sparkling seascape, award-winning menu and an extensive wine list – which you can view here. Cap off the evening by ordering a bottle of the Billecart Salmon Rosé – because there’s nothing like real French bubbles to make mum feel spoiled. Book online here.
Drinks at Riva Bar
If mum’s not working on Monday, you’d do well to take her out for a drink at Riva Bar. It’s one of Bayside’s best known-secrets – stylish, tasteful and located on the beautiful St Kilda foreshore. They feature live acoustic entertainment every Sunday, so the vibe will be super relaxing.
Gifting
Yes, we know. Finding the perfect gift can be difficult – but with Bayside’s great retail hubs, you’re sure to find something mum will love. C&G likes Mozi in Hampton for bath/body and treasures for the home, but other ideas include skincare from L’Occitane, a book voucher from Readings (buy online here and print out immediately) or comfy pyjamas from Peter Alexander’s special Mother’s Day range. You can also get Spotify gift subscriptions here.
If you’re still stuck, head to Bayside Shopping Centre in Frankston, Elwood Village, Westfield Southland or Acland Street Village in St Kilda for a last-minute bargain.
The Comics Lounge
The Comics Lounge has an excellent gift pack available for your mother, grandmother or special lady in your life. Their Mother's Day Gift Pack contains 6 entry tickets to shows of your choice (valid for 6 months,) and a personalized Mother's Day Card with poem & Envelope. Valued at over $100, you can pick this pack up for only $20 plus postage. What better way to spoil mum than giving her the gift of laughter?
Flowers
Lastly, don’t forget the flowers! They’re a Mother’s Day tradition, and a symbol of how much you love her. Pash Flowers and Homewares in Brighton has been operational for over 15 years, providing beautiful bouquets as well as gifts, plus they offer next-day delivery, so get your order in early to avoid disappointment.
