With Christmas just 1 week away, I’ve compiled a list for those of us who may not be as organised as we would like to be with having all Christmas gifts placed ready under the tree. Here are my top ten Mandurah outlets for finding that perfect gift for our loved ones.
Harley & Rose
Located in the Meadow Springs Shopping Centre is my go to shop for beautiful bouquets of flowers, of which, my children’s school teachers will be receiving as a thank you for all of their dedication this year. Also packed with lovely gift ideas, which my friends and family have benefited from for years, there are so many trinkets available that make excellent gifts for Christmas.
Aster & Ruby
Located in Dolphin Quay, Aster & Ruby stock a wide range of gorgeous handmade clothing and unique accessories. Leading up to Christmas they have 25% off their Christmas clothing so a great opportunity to purchase something from one of their funky collections. My favourite children’s outlet in Mandurah by far!
Meadow Springs Country Club
In the heart of Meadow Springs is the renowned golf and country club. Buy a membership or shout a round or two of golf to the ‘pro’ in the family. Their pro shop have available all your golfing needs including gift vouchers, which are also available for their restaurant. Either that or shout a loved one to a lovely lunch on the grounds in the restaurant.
Sportsfirst
On Pinjarra Road is this family run store who have everything from water sport fun and trampolines for the little kids (or big at heart kids) through to basketball rings and gym set ups and clothing for the gym nut in the family; everyone is taken care of here for summer fun!
Tuckeys Tackle
For the fishing fanatic, local tackle shop Tuckeys Tackle on Mandurah Terrace will take care of all of your needs. Whether you’re an amateur or just looking to throw in a line with the kids, to the more experienced, there are so many different present options at Tuckeys, of which I will be taking full advantage of for one of my own family members this Christmas.
Relish Kitchenwares
Again in Meadow Springs Shopping Centre, you will find Relish. As someone who has somewhat of an addiction to all things kitchen and baking, you’ll be in ‘kitchen heaven’. You will find tiered cake stands, tea pots, mugs and cups and cutlery sets perfect for gifts for the ultimate entertainer.
Rejuvenate Skin & Body
Being local to Meadow Springs, I’ve been going to Rejuvenate for years now. From tanning to nails to waxing as well as massages and treatments, Rejuvenate caters to everyone. They currently have their Christmas Packages available to purchase as gift vouchers which make a very relaxing gift and ones my Mum can vouch for that were very well received when I purchased one for her as a Christmas present previously.
Eco Spa
Also located in Dolphin Quay, Eco Spa are another of Mandurah’s lovely day spas. I adore having treatments there, including massages and facials. I love their organic products which are perfect for a Christmas gift and of course, gift vouchers.
Kayaks 4 U
Sitting right on the Western Foreshore, is Kayaks 4 U. They stock a large and varied range of kayaks, clothing and paddling accessories, ideal for the water sport enthusiast. With every day being demo day, so you can try before you buy, with guidance and expert advice from their experienced staff.
My last gift idea isn’t something that you can purchase per se. As cliché as it may sound, the gift of time, in my opinion, is the most important of all. Making the time to spend with your loved ones; whether that be ‘unplugging’ from our phones, tablets, laptops and gaming devices, taking time out by going on a long drive for a day trip somewhere or just, as simple as it sounds, taking the time to sit down with our kids to have a meaningful conversation, reading them a book or kicking the ball around the backyard. Being present, ultimately, is the best present of all.
Wishing all of my past, current and future clients a very safe and happy holiday season.
