5 Ideas for Mother’s Day

Mother's Day will be celebrated on May 12th, which falls on this weekend. The weather is shaping up nicely, with no rain forecasted and temperatures in the low 20s Celsius. This means you can enjoy outdoor activities without worrying about rain or extreme heat, and it's also perfect for a leisurely meal outdoors.

Head To The Beach

The beach is accessible to all, even catching a tram or a train to either Semaphore, Largs Bay, Grange beach, Glenelg, Brigton, or further south to Noarlunga. This can be a fun adventure for younger children, who might enjoy the train ride too. Most beaches offer fish and chip shops and nothing beats the classic fish and chips at the beach in Australia.

Go To A Movie

Going out to see a movie is simple enough. Find a cinema you would like to attend and purchase tickets online. To round out the occasion, give a special box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers.

Go Out For A Meal

IIt is hard to find a bad cafe or restaurant in the Adelaide metro area or CBD. Pick an area you would like to go to and reserve a table, as this weekend is one of the busiest in Adelaide.

A Picnic

Pick up some salads, drinks, and sides, along with some chocolates, from your local supermarket and make a day of it at a park of your choice. Most parks offer BBQ areas and free parking. If you are all the outdoorsy types, the Adelaide Botanical Gardens or Morialta Falls offer some excellent outdoor areas. These places will be busy and close at 5 p.m.

Afternoon Tea

Shopping Malls, Burnside Shops, Hyde Park, and the CBD will be open and offering relaxing afternoon tea. High tea is available at many hotels; if you would prefer something like that, bookings are a must. Make afternoon tea a little bit more posh by dressing in semi-casual attire. 

A Special Gift

A special gift, such as flowers or chocolates, is considered politeness. If you are unsure when you want to attend a meal, reservations will help the day go smoothly.
