10 Tamar Valley Region Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Does your Mum live near Launceston or in the surrounding Tamar Valley or perhaps she's planning a trip there soon?

Here's 10 Tamar Valley region Mothers Day gift ideas she might enjoy.

1. Turner Stillhouse Three Cuts Gin Pack
Surprise your G&T-loving Mum to a gift pack of 2, 3 or 4 bottles of 50ml or 350ml bespoke gin. Made in small batches, carefully distilled from a premium grape base, using pure Tasmanian water and a unique blend of Tasmanian grown and internationally sourced botanicals, the name Three Cuts derives from the three cuts of rose distilled into the gin including fresh locally grown roses from the Tamar Valley near the distillery. Options include Founder’s, Distiller’s Release, Cherry Gin, Pinot or Chardonnay Barrel Rested. $65-$199.99.

 

2. Lentara Grove Mature Olive Trees Set of 2
If you're a cashed-up and very generous offspring, treat your mother to a pair of mature olive trees for her garden from Lentara Grove. The 20-year-old+ olive trees are hard pruned, bare-rooted and dug out. The branches will be pruned above the stump between waist and chest high and will need to be transplanted immediately as soon as they are dug out and you'll need to arrange your own transport. $2,400.

3. The Grain Grocer Gift Card
If your mum follows a vegan, paleo, organic and/or gluten-free diet, she'll find an incredible range of hard-to-find ingredients for modern and old-style recipes as well as specialty foods ranging from paleo bread to vegan chocolate at Launceston's bulk ingredients specialist. Give her an online gift card from $5-$1,000 so she can choose her own items.

4. The Spotted Quoll Tightology Deco Merino Wool Tights
Tasmanian winters - and sometimes other seasons! - can be cold so keep your Mum warm and comfortable with a luxurious pair of patterned merino wool tights she might never think to treat herself. She'll use these for years! Available in brown, lead grey (pictured), mustard and navy blue. $48.

5. Bridestowe Lavender Farm Eye Pillow
If your mother has a lot on her plate, she'll be able to relax with this soothing lavender eye pillow, handmade in Australia from Liberty fine cotton fabric and filled with Australian linseed, lavender flower and lavender oil from Bridestowe Estate. Tip: Put your eye pillow in the fridge or freezer for about an hour before use. Place cooled pillow over your eyes and relax. $27.

 

6. Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery DevilKnits Baby Seal Beanie

Knitted using Australian wool and wool blends, 80% wool/20% nylon and is machine washable. She'll wish it was adult-size! $55.

7. Taste of Tam O'Shanter Gourmet Preserves and Pickles
