Scout’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is Coming in Hot - Are You Ready?

Posted May, 2021

It’s time to show your love and admiration for the women who raised you into the awesome person you are (no pressure). Whether it’s your mother, grandmother, aunt or mother-in-law, they all deserved to be spoiled this Mother’s Day. Now, finding the perfect gift is no easy feat, let alone one that simultaneously supports Shire-based businesses. But we’ve done the hard yards to make the seemingly impossible, possible. From OTT desserts to monogrammed silk pillowcases, here’s our chic edit of beautiful gifts that every mum will love.

Aston & Belle - To satisfy your mum’s sweet tooth

For a dessert that will make a dramatic entrance, allow Aston & Belle to do the honours. Based in Cronulla, Aston & Belle is a custom cake design studio. Their boujee Mother’s Day gift - The Cake Trio and Cookies - includes 3 mini cakes and 4 cookies for just $90. Yes, you read that right. The flavours? Vanilla bean with mixed berries, lemon curd and buttercream; chocolate with caramel sauce and caramel buttercream; and finally an equally impressive carrot and coconut cake with cinnamon-spiced buttercream. Absolutely delicious. If however, you’re after something a little smaller, opt for the Mother’s Day Cookie Pack with 6 vanilla bean cookies.

All orders can be picked up from Cronulla on May 8th or cookies are available for express postage.

Pago & Co - For mums who need a moment to unwind

Boasting a huge range of premium gift boxes, there is a gift for every mum at Pago & Co in Caringbah. Their team understand that some mums love chocolate and tea in the evening (aka Time for Tea), whilst others love to unwind with a well-deserved drink (in this case Garden Party is for you). Either way, you're sorted here. 

Visit Pago & Co in-store or jump on their website to shop with free shipping on orders over $150.

Regina Della Pasta - For mums who love getting creative in the kitchen

If you want to do something a little different this Mother’s Day, a pasta class with Maddison from Regina Della Pasta is for you. Think pasta (of course), antipasto, delicious chocolates, flowers and most importantly, bottomless prosecco, because after all, mums deserve to let their hair down too. With classic, old school tunes playing in the background, you can expect a fun-filled afternoon whilst learning to make not just one, but four types of pasta.
