Mother’s Day gift ideas 2019
Blow the budget
Aside from gin itself, glassware is weakness of mine! A beautiful set of glasses can make your drink seem more elegant, even if you are sitting in your jammies watching Netflix.
These two sets from Waterford crystal are absolutely stunning.
Elysian Champagne Coupe Pair $349 David Jones
Waterford Diamond Line Martini Pair $199 David Jones
Whether it’s rings or pins, I’m like a magpie when it comes to gin jewellery. I am IN LOVE with this martini necklace (earrings also available) from Sydney designer Sarah Crowley.
One of Three Jewellery Martini Necklace Silver $120 and Gold (not pictured) $150.
A little bit of cash
Martini Poster by Nick Barclay Designs
I’ve been a fan of Nick Barclay’s for some time. In fact, GQHQ’s walls are adorned with Nick’s gin cocktail posters.
I think the martini poster would make an elegant addition to any wall.
