Mother’s day is just around the corner and if you haven’t got it all sorted yet, don’t worry, there are a heap of ideas you can source right here in the Inner West.

We really are spoilt for choice and surrounded by creativity. Here are 10 locally sourced ideas from some of our favourite Inner West businesses that I’m sure your Inner West mum will love.

1. A limited edition Mother’s Day plant pack by Marrickville based Leaf Supply. These guys know exactly how to please mum and have created some awesome limited edition Mother’s Day packs. Whether it’s pancakes in bed, a relaxing bath with The Seeke’s salt pack or a rejuvenating tea from a handmade mug by Open Objects, all with “a side of green” they will even deliver straight to your doorstep on Friday 7th May. What’s easier than that?

2. A day of Clay and Cocktails with Clay Sydney and Poor Tom’s in Marrickville – Here’s a pairing of two fabulous locals who want you to spend some quality time with mum. Their Gin and Clay gift package includes two tickets to a pottery wheel throwing class and 4 cocktails from the neighbouring Gin Hall. They’re also hosting a Pottery Market this Sunday, 2nd May at their Enmore studio if you want to pick something up for mum.

3. A Mother’s Day gift box from Artisans Nest in Newtown. A fairly new kid on the Inner West circuit is this fabulous hub for artists and creators on King Street (northern end). They have some ready to go pre-curated boxes in store or you can pick and choose a few pieces to really personalise it for mum.

4. A gorgeous Midas Wall vase from local ceramist Milly Dent’s Marrickville studio. One of my favourite Milly Dent pieces would have to be this porcelain wall vase, but really she hand crafts the most beautiful treasures so have a peak at her online store.

5. A one of a kind bag by Designed by Kate. Local Stanmore mum, Kate has a background in theatre design and now uses her creativity to hand craft gorgeous bags and purses out of rescued materials and former art pieces. This Mother’s Day Kate has a special offer: buy any Designed by Kate bag and purse and get 50% off the price of the purse.

6. Up the anti with a very special arrangement of flowers and a hand crafted vase from Mud Australia. This Mother’s Day, Mud, who’s studio is right in the heart of our very own Marrickville, has partnered with botanical stylist, Sophia Kaplan, also the founder of Leaf Supply, to send mum the most striking arrangements in one of their stunning vases. They’ll even hand deliver the arrangement on the day but you need to be quick and order before Monday 3rd May.

7. A custom, handmade piece of jewellery by Red Sky at Night. I love these pieces local Georgia Howard of Newtown’s Red Sky at Night creates. Her jewellery is handcrafted, edgy and incredibly expressive and perfect to spoil mum with.

8. A special treat from The Corner Booth Store in Annandale. Whether mum needs a new robe, a mixer for a stiff drink or a little book all about her, the Corner Booth Store has an entire window display dedicated to mum so check them out for a range of ideas that will no doubt please mum.

9. A unique piece for the home from Homeworks Design in Newtown.  This place would have to be one of my favourite finds of the year. On the South end of King St, Homeworks Design has a range of truly unique home-wares, from crazy beautiful lamps to cushions and some quirky pieces in between, all bespoke, custom and made from the most interesting fabrics. If mum’s into bold colour and creativity this is your place to go!

10. A hamper of tinned goods from Continental Deli in Newtown. Because which mum doesn’t need a range of Continental’s Mar-tinny’s, Can-hattan’s, or a Neapoli-tin stashed away and ready to crack open at a moment’s notice, once the kids have gone to bed of course? Their stuff is simply awesome and easy to pick up from their Australia Street store.

Now to narrow the choice down??? Let us know, how will you be spoiling mum in the hood this Mother’s Day?
