Last Minute Mothers Day Gift Ideas 2016

This post is really last minute, but hopefully my Mothers Day gift ideas will help you out if you haven’t been able to pick anything up yet or if you want to add something a little extra.
Pamper your mum
mothers day Mothers day is a chance for your mum to put her feet up and relax. You could have a DVD day or a ‘spa’ day. Two movies I highly recommend are Big Eyes and (if she likes comedy movies) Get Hard. I think that scented candles always create a great ambiance for relaxing, if you can’t afford the full-size glasshouse candles the minis are great too (their scent throw is amazing), they’re available at Peter Alexander and David Jones. also pictured- *Ulta3 Mothers Day gift card with nail polish attached and Care and Repair Nail nurture kit, available at selected Pharmacies.

For Creative mums
mothers dayAbove is a selection of items that would be great for the creative mums. The Fujifilm instax mini 8 is great for capturing candid wallet sized photos, I’ve seen at target they now also have a new range of frames and accessories specifically for the instax prints. Also pictured- A great little inspirational book of mantras, quotes and words of wisdom, A note book for her thoughts and ideas and ‘The Urban Canvas’ book of colour-in postcards, both from Typo.

Happy Mother’s day for tomorrow to all the mum’s (including my mum) & grandmothers. I hope you all have a lovely day. Also thoughts to all whose mums are no longer with them.

Round Beach Towels – Summer Trend

One of the big trends for Summer this year is Round beach towels, more and more stores have been releasing their own designs over the past couple of months.

There are many designs to choose from, with prices to suit different budgets. They would make a great Christmas gift also!

Here are a few of my favourite designs

Fruit Print

Two of the hottest fruit prints/objects this summer are watermelons and pineapples, there are many different homewares and beach accessories around at the moment that are in the shape of these fruit or have the fruit print.

Saying

If you are fan of quirky or cheeky sayings, you’ll love the two designs below. I really love the ‘Beach Please’ one from BEACH BELLA…who doesn’t love a good pun? (or a bad one)

Round beach towels1. Spin Me Round Towel- Urban Red To The Beach, $34.95 from Rubi Shoes, 2. Round Towel- Beach Please, $84.95 from BEACH BELLA

Monochrome

 You can’t go wrong with monochrome, it’s understated, but goes with everything! I absolutely love Peter Morrissey’s designs, especially the palm trees! He will always be one of my favourite Aussie designers.

Round beach towels1. Peter Morrissey 150cm Round Beach Towel with fringe- two designs, $39 each from Big W, 2. Arrow Round Beach Towel, $59 from Target

 Single colour

The towels below are a great option if you want one that is a single coloured pattern on white rather than the black & while monochromatic ones. The Kmart round towel is a vibrant yellow and is the most affordable round beach towel, that I’ve come across.

 What do you think of the Round Beach Towels trend? would you buy one?

PS. Happy 1st day of Summer Australia!
