Planning the perfect Mother’s Day
Don’t leave planning Mother’s Day to the last minute. Have a look at our guide to planning a lovely day for the mum in your life – or pass it on to those in your household who might need a gentle reminder to get organised!
Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, falls on 12th May so you have two weeks to plan a special day for your mum. If you are that mum and find yourself planning your own Mother’s Day every year, forward or print out this guide and stick it on the fridge as a not-so-subtle hint for your loved ones to get organised!
Sunday 28th April – if you’re planning to go out for lunch, brunch or afternoon tea, book this today!
Monday 29th April – if your mum is interstate or elsewhere in Tassie, order her a lovely gift online today from Hill Street Home. You can choose from flowers, homewares and hampers – or a combination of all three, to let your mum know she’s loved. Don’t leave it too late as mainland delivery could take up to a week depending on location.
Weekend of 4th and 5th of May – if you’re not ordering online, visit a Hill Street Home near you (located at Hill Street stores in Devonport, Longford, Sandy Bay and West Hobart) and choose something special from our range of homewares, potted plants, chocolates, books and hampers, as well as cards. We can gift wrap too. While you’re there, order a bouquet for pick up or delivery on Mother’s Day or the day before.
Friday 10th May – if you’re planning to cook breakfast in bed, or afternoon tea at home, plan your menu and do a shop at Hill Street for all your ingredients. If you want to take the party to mum with minimal prep, order one of these ready-to-go Afternoon Tea Hampers and collect it on Mother’s Day.

Saturday 11th May – pick up the flowers you ordered from Hill Street and hide them at home somewhere nice and cool. Make sure your gifts are wrapped and cards are written. If you’re making a cake, get mum out of the house and bake it today.
Sunday 12th May – if it’s breakfast in bed you have planned, rouse your helpers and get cooking! Let mum sleep in and wake her with a lovely cuppa and your home-made offerings. If you’re heading out for lunch or afternoon tea, keep the kids occupied, then get them ready and make mum’s day as stress-free as possible.
Have a happy Mother’s Day, from all of us at Hill Street!
