Forget naff gift ideas this Mother’s Day. Treat mum to the mother of all weekends in the Capital:

1. Share in the glamour of the 1930s, the golden age of cinema, with an afternoon of decadence at The Roxy. Enjoy high tea treats and bubbles before a screening of The Sound of Music. Ph +64 4 388 5555 to book.

2. Enjoy a delectable and deliciously relaxed brunch with Ruth Pretty at her lovely home and garden in Te Horo. Start the day with a special Mother’s Ruin cocktail and finish with a fabulous cake. Book now.

3. Indulge in the taste of autumn with Chameleon Restaurant’s Mother’s Day Menu. From goat cheese custard baked with truffle and thyme to roasted lamb rump with grilled vine tomato and feta salad, this three course meal for just $49 has something for every mum. Ph +64 4 495 7841 to reserve your spot.

4. Treat mum to some shopping hot off the heels of Wellington Fashion Week. With designers like Ashley Fogel, Starfish, Alexandra Owen and Robyn Mathieson, she’ll be spoiled for choice.

5. Stay at the InterContinental Wellington and spoil mum with a VIP experience. For $269 she’ll enjoy one night's accommodation for two with a room upgrade, a bottle of New Zealand sparkling wine, chocolates and a fruit bowl on arrival. Yum! Book now.

6. Earn brownie points with the Museum Art Hotel’s two luxurious hotel packages or gift voucher deal. With all this to choose from, pleasing mum has never been so easy. Visit the hotel website for more details.

7. Stay three nights and only pay for two at selected hotels in Wellington. Someone once said two out of three ain’t bad… but even mum would agree that three nights for two is better! Book before 11 May 2012, for stays between 3 May 2012 – 2 July 2012. Find out more at WellingtonNZ.com.
