Scout’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Don’t settle for a mediocre gift this Mother’s Day. Here are our fave local gift ideas to set you on your way!
St.Germain - For the mum who likes to be pampered
St. Germain is a luxe aesthetic clinic tucked away in Sylvania Waters. Offering a curated menu of efficacious face and body treatments, the St. Germain experience is premium from the get-go. The minimalist space is inspired by Paris and decked out in a serene palette of stone, beige and white. The perfect place to treat mum to a luxurious morning or afternoon. We recommend taking advantage of their Glow Together Package which includes hydrafacials, LED and hand massages for two, plus complimentary bubbles (meaning you can get in on the action too!) Select 'Mother's Day' here when booking to receive 20% off RRP.
The Flower Posse - For the flower-loving mumma
We’re sure you’ve gifted mum some Mother’s Day blooms before but nothing quite compares to a Flower Posse bouquet. Queens of unique blooms and bold colourways, at The Flower Posse you’re guaranteed to find the most striking bouquet to date. Select from their Signature Bouquet offering here (Peaches + Cream, Cherry Cosmo and Fairy Bread) or opt for their stunning Flowers En Masse options (a big bunch of one flower type - tulips, roses or orchids). If you fancy going all out, be sure to add the insta-worthy Pink Gin, a “Mother” Print from Oak + Ivory or delicious candle. Make sure you get in early and pre-order here because these guys sell out fast! If you rather browse in person, stop by their Caringbah shop front and curate the perfect gift box with the help of their team.
