Mother’s Day on the Central Coast
Take a look back over the last 365 days and we’re guessing there’s been one superhero making your life that little bit easier. Yep, your mum! Mother’s Day is fast approaching, coming up on Sunday, May 12.
That means one thing, you need to start planning for how you can celebrate, mum and/or the mother figure in your life. Because, let’s be real, that one-woman powerhouse deserves more than flowers from the servo and a candle from the newsagent.
As always here at Coasties we’re here to help. We’ve found the most unique ways to make the most important woman in your life feel extra special this Mother’s Day on the Central Coast.
Mother’s Day Ideas on the Central Coast
Make a Memory with Mum at Pinot and Picasso, Erina
Our top pick for a unique Mother’s Day Gift idea on the Central Coast this year has to be a paint-and-sip class at Pinot and Picasso in Erina.
Does anyone remember the days before phones could take photos, our lives were uploaded to the internet and our happy snaps and memories were housed in photo albums? Pinot and Picasso do and they’re on a mission to help you create lasting memories with mum. When you book a Mother’s Day session it’s the chance to pause, enjoy, laugh, paint, sip, dance, spend quality time together and create memories through creativity. After all, there are so many people who would do anything to be with their mothers; even for just a moment.
Sessions available to book include Mother Nature, a combined canvas session, Banksia Bloom, a pastel floral painted porcelain jug, and Rays and Bows, a gorgeous way to get the kids involved as this is a collaboration artwork. Or why not book the Garden of Gratitude which is a flower-inspired painted vase?
Prices start from $59 per person and all Mother’s Day sessions include games of musical bingo with prizes to be won.
There are classes running over the entire weekend May 11th and 12th. Don’t miss out, book your session here.
Pinot and Picasso can be found at 4/185 The Entrance Rd, Erina
