Mother's Day
Blogged by: Marrickville Metro 29 Feb 2024
If you know a mum of a tween, you’re definitely aware of the unique challenges and joys of parenting during the school years. Being a formative period of growth, sometimes, there’s nothing quite like sharing moments of growing pains with fellow mums.
Dad, Best Friend, Aunty – we’re looking at you to step up this Mother’s Day! Read on for your complete guide on spoiling her with unforgettable experiences – from long-lunches, to beauty trips, and even paint and sips at Marrickville Metro.
Mother’s Day Luncheon
Let Mum take some time out this Mother’s Day to unwind, destress, and catch up with friends! There’s nothing like sharing advice over a good meal and glass of wine, which we have an endless selection of here at Marrickville Metro.
From a casual meal to a luxurious feast, she’ll be sure to dive into insightful and supportive chats with friends at a Mother’s Day Lunch – a thoughtful gesture that she'll appreciate immensely.

Share a Moment of Mother/Daughter Bonding
If there’s one way to do Mother’s Day right this year – it’s with a well-deserved pampering. Chances are, her tween daughter loves all things beauty – so why not give them an opportunity to share an experience and create a core memory? Treat them to a complete makeover at Lux by Dezire, where herself and her tween can
learn all the tricks of the trade, while bonding over beauty tips and popular products.
If something more relaxing is on the wishlist, take her out to enjoy an indulgent shared mani-pedi, or even a massage to pamper Mum from her head to her toes.


There’s no feeling quite like escaping the hustle and bustle for a moment of peace! If you think she’s in the mood for a little extra ‘me’ time, you can always pick up a voucher for her to use when she’s ready.

Let Her Get Lost in a Good Book
With tween kids constantly on the go, it’s important for Mum to take time out to slow down! If you’ve noticed that she rarely takes time for herself, why not take this Mother’s Day as an opportunity to gift Mum with some brand new books to relax and get lost in a story?
At Marrickville Metro, we’re home to go-to bookstore Harry Hartog Bookseller – which are brimming with plenty of interesting reads from every genre and author that you can imagine. From Romance novels, to cook books, to classic coffee table gems to liven up her living space – our selection has something different for every type of mum.

Craft and Sip, Anyone?
Let Mum unleash her creativity this Mother’s Day! Swing by our retailers Nextra, Pop Avenue, or Kmart to stock up on crafting supplies to host an evening full of fun.
Whether it’s a scrapbooking session, a paint-by-numbers, or a candle-making workshop, we encourage you to invite a few of her friends over to share laughter, support, and creativity over a beverage or two!
