Here’s our top funky gifts to buy for your mum (or yourself):
The linen tea towels to are so cool, you might even want to frame them. Look out for the bestselling ‘Advantages of being a Woman Artist’ tea towel by feminist activist artists Guerrilla Girls. It is part of a very pink and very popular collection bringing to light sexism involved in the art industry and celebrating women artists. The colourful yeah tea towel was designed by Melbourne artist Jon Campbell.
These stools are made of molded resin and hand-painted. These fun statement pieces can be used for kids’ bedrooms, or loungerooms as a stool, side table, plant stand or sculpture. The huge hamburger and the watermelon stools would be great for summer BBQ parties. Or you might like the corn cob with a bitemark. If you want to sit on piles of banknotes or a giant pineapple these two stools just arrived.
If your mum loves anything florals, then look out for the Margaret Preston range. The corkboard coasters, bridge set of playing cards and the pink waratah tea towel would make a gorgeous gift together.
Reg Mombassa fans might enjoy the puzzle, highly collectible enamel pins or the beachside lunchbox. There’s even a highly patriotic Australian themed 100% linen tea towel.
I’m lusting after the giant ice-cream cone planters, please go away clutch, and the motel key tag.
