Mother’s Day 2026 is on May 10 and Mum’s all over 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ 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 91¹û¶³´«Ã½’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.

The Lonley Mum...a depressing title but sometimes SO true! If you're new to an area, moved to 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ from interstate or overseas, have no friends that have children or just out of sync with friends that do - coffee dates with just the company of your newborn can be mind numbing and just bloody lonely. I was so lucky with my first baby that a couple of my friends also had babies around the same time. Every Monday we went for a huge pram walk and then had brunch at a café and chatted till were given dirty looks to order more coffee or lunch or leave. It was, and still is, one of the best memories I have of maternity leave.
