QV GUIDE: THE MOTHER'S DAY EDIT

Mother’s Day is dedicated to the mums and motherly figures who give everything, often without expecting anything in return. What do you give to someone who deserves it all? At QV Melbourne, you’ll find something for every kind of mum. Consider this your definitive guide to Mother’s Day.

Appeal to her senses with skincare, fragrance, and flowers. For hands in need of hydration and a little pampering, Aesop’s ‘Reverence Aromatique’ Hand Balm is an ideal choice, designed to be used daily and not relegated to the back of the drawer.

Masterflora & Co is the precinct’s florist and is worth a visit for those drawn to giving something fresh, and pairs naturally with a fragrance or skincare gift. If it’s a fragrant shift in atmosphere, Trudon’s Altair candle from Marais infuses the home with an elegant woody-floral scent, elevating, not overwhelming. And then there’s Paire’s limited edition ‘The Lovely Bouquet’ sock set, a lovely curation of floral socks.

As cold days deepen, QV Melbourne has a range of clothing brands to keep your mum warm, as well as effortlessly chic. Wander down Albert Coates Lane to find Bassike and Assembly Label for trans-seasonal pieces, or for something more sumptuous, Loewe’s Belted Dress at Marais.

Few places in Melbourne curate quite like Incu. Their considered selection of homewares and accessories combine superb craftsmanship, humour and a point of view. Look no further than Maison Balzac’s Volute Wine Glasses and Jai Soif Carafe: equal parts design object and delightful drinking vessel.

QV Melbourne’s restaurant options promise that a meal shared together might be the most memorable part of the day. If Italian is what you’re looking for, Mondo di Pasta offers a relaxed, genuinely delicious menu, equally suited to a family gathering or a quieter celebration. There’s also Old Beijing, rewarding those who order generously and share everything. Finally, end the evening at Homm Dessert, where dessert makes a very convincing case for staying just a little longer.

But what about a gift that can’t be wrapped? Therapure Spa offers indulgence and relaxation for someone who rarely takes time for themself, and for the finishing touches, head to Goddess of Nails and Beauty.

On the way out, a bottle of Joseph Perrier Champagne from Dan Murphy's means there is something worth opening at home, because a day like this deserves a proper celebration.
