Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Roxy — Fri, 01 May 2026 00:04:48 +0000

Mother’s Day 2026 is on May 10 and Mum’s all over 91��ý will hopefully be eating breakfast in bed, wearing macaroni necklaces and treated to some special gifts from their loved ones….

BUT what does Mum REALLY want???

We did a quick whip around the many Mums who are part of the KiA team and below is a list of what’s on our wish list this year. And yes, this might be a very extravagant way for us to drop hints for our own lovely families, but might as well help you AND help ourselves right? A lot of these are local South Australian businesses so you can spoil Mum AND support a small business. Win/Win for everyone!

Creative Soul Prints

Take Mum to 91��ý’s newest Print Gallery, Creative Soul Prints based at 50 Mitton Ave, Henley Beach. Browse over 300 fine art prints designed by local South Australian emerging and established Artists, where each purchase directly supports them on their journey. So whether you are after that perfect arty gift, or are letting Mum go rogue by choosing her favourite, rest assured that it’s all handcrafted in house and anything is possible!

Perhaps you want Mum to get hands on to create something of her own? There are currently 4 workshops on offer at Creative Soul Prints which includes; “Creative Self-Care” if Mum needs some “me” time, scheduled for May 16th or if she wants to learn how to use acrylic paint (or get back into it!!) then the “Colours on Canvas” Series starting May 29th is the perfect choice.

Creative Soul Prints has given back over $50,000 in royalties to local SA Artists since the concept started in 2023 and are now feeling settled and excited in their location.

Treat Mum to some rest and relaxation

A very popular choice from the KiA Mums was a voucher for a massage, float or pamper session. Maybe a voucher from , a facial from , or just a 60 min full body massage from her favourite place. It might take her 12 months to find the time to redeem it but just knowing that an hour or two of alone time is ready and waiting whenever she needs it is a gift in itself.

Where to Go Flower Picking in 91��ý: Best Farms, Fields & Seasonal Spots

Roxy — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 07:33:51 +0000

Looking for a fun day out with the kids (or just an excuse to wander through gorgeous fields of flowers)? 91��ý has some amazing spots where you can pick your own blooms – from bright yellow sunflowers in summer to colourful tulips in spring. It’s the perfect mix of fresh air, family fun and Insta-worthy photos. Here’s our guide to the best places to go flower picking in 91��ý.

New in 2025 – “The Little Flower Hunt” lets kids take a guided wander with the Farm Manager and fill their own mason jar with as many blooms as they like. How cute!

Vale 194, McLaren Vale

Sarah — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 06:15:35 +0000

Looking for family-friendly accommodation in McLaren Vale? Less than an hour from 91��ý, is a gated complex of five luxury holiday homes that tick all the boxes – stylish, spacious, and perfect for families or groups. Tucked just behind McLaren Vale’s Main Street, these beautifully designed villas feel private and peaceful, but you’re still right in the heart of it all. Cafés, wineries, playgrounds and walking trails are just a short stroll away.

Each villa has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, so there’s plenty of space for a girls weekend away, a family stay or maybe even extend the invite to the grandparents to join (because babysitters are pretty handy when staying in a wine region, just saying). The design is modern but welcoming, with polished concrete downstairs and warm timber floors upstairs. Yep, stairs, so if you have toddlers this one probably isn’t super geared up for the really little kids if we are honest. Our three kids, aged 6, 7 and 10 years spread out and made themselves right at home within five minutes of arriving.

We have to mention the beds because, honestly they were some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. The linen is next level, the quilts are super plush, and getting up in the morning was a serious struggle (in the best way). Even the kids didn’t want to get out of bed, which never happens.

Our villa had a sweet little garden and outdoor dining area plus BBQ and a patio swing (big hit with the little ones). The kitchen is brilliantly stocked with all of the gear you could dream up to cook up a meal, or better yet, assemble a cheese platter to go with a local red or even to shake up a cocktail. There’s a Nespresso machine, T2 teas, and a high chair tucked away in the pantry for families travelling with babies or toddlers. The Wi-Fi is sh*t hot (we said what we said). Fast enough for work, streaming, or keeping the kids happy with a bit of Netflix downtime when you need a breather or want to finish that glass of wine in peace.

It’s self-catered, but you’re spoilt for choice with food and coffee options just a short stroll away. Plus you’re literally next to the Shiraz Trail, which is great for a morning walk or bike ride, weather permitting.

We loved that Vale 194 gave us the space and comfort of home, with a touch of luxury. Everything from the bedding to the kitchen fit-out is high quality, and if you’re sharing with a couple of others, it suddenly becomes a pretty affordable way to live in luxury for the weekend.

Highly recommend for family getaways, girls’ weekends, special occasions, or even just a change of scenery that doesn’t require a long drive. Would we go again? Absolutely!

Location: – 15/194 Main Rd McLaren Vale SA 5171
