Mother's Day Gift Guide 2023

How great are mums? Literally - the best!

This Mothers Day, we're honouring ALL the Mums out there. Whether they be new mums, mums-to-be, mums wishing to be mums, mums-in-law, grandmums or even mums that have left us (we here you, mum's are irreplacable) - they're all worth showering with love. 

Here at The Block Shop we are a team entirely made up of women, we would like to start by acknowledging Mother's Day isn't an easy day for many people. There are the people so desperately missing their mum's and the women deseperate to be mum's, we know because our team is made up of these women. But for those lucky enough to be a mum or have their mum this one's for you, because there is no greater role.

The ladies here at The Block Shop have curated a gift guide just for you!

Carolyn is our Customer Service Expert but also our resident 'Mum Inspo', her kids have grown up, and can you believe she is a grandparent now ... you can call her Gigi. She has succeeded at raising nice humans, mostly! Now it's about enjoying her adult children's company and having a glass of wine and a good cheese platter! We'll raise our glass to that!! Check out our glassware here.

Can we just take a moment to think about how spoilt Mum would feel with these gifts.... Wine Fridge, yes please! and don't forget about the cheese platter!

Holly, our Customer Service Hero, says "My Mum just lost a beautiful old gum tree in a recent storm outside her bedroom window, so this artwork would be great to hang in her bedroom to bring some gorgeous Australian nature into the room as a memory."

 Spoil Mum with some Artwork on Mothers Day, Holly's pick is this piece from I Heart Wall Art, "Bush Song" to remember the beautiful gum tree at her mum's place.

Since last year's gift guide I have lost my mum, incredibily quickly! I remember we were all at The Block  when I got the dreaded call that mum was taken to hosiptal, fast forward 6 weeks and she had passed away from chemo complications, right at our busiest time of the year... seven o'block! Motherless daughters I see you and I know the pain, it's a load we learn to carry but a club knowone wants to be apart of, and this time of the year is HARD! It's true when they say mum's are irreplacable. I have found some really great resources with Good Mourning Podcast and Motherless Daughters. I hope these can help others too.

Mum's smile was priceless and she did so much for me and my kids. This will be my first mother's day without her and no doubt a tough one. I will hold my own children close, be thankful for the happy memories and burn a candle for my best friend, my mum.

Mum and I at a cancer charity lunch in March 2022, before our world's were turned upside down. Mum burnt candles every night , and her unit smelt divine, so this year that's what I would like from my kids for mothers day, a  candle for mum and for me. I am really loving Bordeaux Candles at the moment.

Love you Mum!
