Special Mother’s Day moments, gifts to thank mom

Every year mothers all over the world are celebrated in May and many fathers and children end up with their hands in their hair over which gift would be the best way to show the most important woman in their lives how much they care.
Although there are plenty of gifts and chocolates in shops all over the city, a few enterprises came up with exciting ways to celebrate Mother’s Day this year and to ensure that there is a treat for every type of mother in Polokwane.

Mall of the North
For the sentimental mother, there will be an opportunity to create lasting memories at Mall of the North’s High Tea with Mom photo booth.
Here children can have beautiful professional photographs taken at the specially placed photo booth in Game Court from 10:00 to 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday.
At only R90 for an A4-sized or R60 for an A5-sized photograph, this is a memory that will last forever and that any mother would cherish.
Many of Mall of the North’s tenants are also running Mother’s Day promotions with gifts and pampering sessions galore that will suit everybody’s taste and preference.
Shop, play and dine at Mall of the North this Mother’s Day and give the woman who cares a day that she will never forget.

The Macaw Nest Family Restaurant
What started out as a bird breeding programme turned into a haven for city dwellers when the team of The Macaw Nest Family Restaurant developed the property into a venue where children could have safe adventures while adults soak up the relaxing atmosphere.
Children are very welcome at The Macaw Nest Family Restaurant where they can enjoy the swimming pool and visit the koi fish ponds while their parents take a breather in the comfortable and rustic outdoor pub seating areas. This makes it the ideal place for mothers to relax and enjoy their families.
A chalkboard walled tree house, sandpit and colouring pictures add to the fun. Kids can also go on bicycle rides to explore the grounds, renting bikes at R10 for 30 minutes.
On Sunday the restaurant will offer a special lunch at only R150 per person. This includes a starter of spinach and feta quiche or bacon and cheese quiche, a main course of rice, lamb roast in garlic butter, baby potatoes, roasted vegetables and caramelised sweet potatoes.
Dessert is white chocolate spring rolls, salted caramel spring rolls and chocolate banana spring rolls. Lunch starts at 12:00 and will end at 15:00.
