Mums are amazing aren’t they? Who else would do your washing, cook you delicious Sunday dinners, pick you up every time you fall, be a constant shoulder to cry on and still fuss and worry about you long after you’ve grown up and left home?

I have no doubt your wonderful Mum has made your laugh in droves, cry and have shared their hard earned wisdom and tremendous knowledge.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner (Sunday May 7 a little reminder for you!), we thought we’d celebrate by sharing all the Plaza has to offer you and your Mum this May.

It started with the pasta necklace. Then, the construction-paper coupon book. And who can forget the burnt toast? We know the best gifts are still the ones you create. And this Mother’s Day, that doesn’t change just because you’ve grown up. Let us help you continue the tradition of the perfect Mother’s Day gift with a glass tumbler for your Mum and personalized by you.

Simply spend a minimum of $15 at any specialty retailer and bring your receipt to Centre Management to redeem your free gift and then head to Tazmyrtle Designs and get personalized.

It’s that time of the year again, Orchid Society members will be in the centre from Friday May 6 to Sunday May 8 able and willing to answer any questions, provide you with information, advice and to offer assistance possibly with your own orchids)

The show consists of several displays by societies and growers as they prepare their orchids for judging and to give consumers the best quality plants to purchase.

This is an event that has grown in popularity amongst members. Novice member’s appreciate having the opportunity to see first-hand how some of their long serving members grow their orchids.

In addition to the educational value, it turns it to quite fun days had by all.

This premier event attracts orchid vendors and orchid lovers from interstate as well as from within Queensland.

Last year the Orchid Society SOLD OUT of Orchids so don’t miss out.

Join us for the Mother’s Day market, more than 30 stalls full to the brim and ready for those last minute Mother’s Day Gifts. There will be entertainment and random acts of kindness in the form of gifts throughout the mall!

Whether you’re dropping hints to your kids or helping your youngster create a Mother’s Day craft for grandma, practical yet personalized gifts make the perfect present. Enjoy our set up and make Mum a photo frame and decorate a cupcake in Centre Court Saturday May 7 from 9:30am to 12:30pm.

When it comes to crafts for kids perfection isn’t always the goal. With a handful of glitter and glue and your youngster’s creativity, a freehand drawing on a frame becomes a work of art to be cherished for years to come.

Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours. x
