Mother’s Day is the perfect moment to honour the incredible mothers in our lives who inspire us with their love, kindness, and unique sense of style. This year, we’re celebrating by highlighting ways to make the day special, from thoughtful gifts to shared experiences, all available at Colonnades.

Whether you’re looking to pamper her with beauty and skincare, refresh her wardrobe with timeless fashion, or surprise her with something indulgent for the home, our retailers have everything you need to show your appreciation.

Thoughtful gifts she’ll treasure

We had the privilege of sitting down with three generations of remarkable women: Brooke Jowett (@brookejowett), her mother Sue, and Brooke’s daughter Parker. Their story beautifully captures how love, laughter, and shared style create lasting bonds across generations.

A shared love of fashion
For Brooke and Sue, fashion has always been a way to connect. From borrowing a piece from her mother’s wardrobe to playful disagreements over who gets the outfit first, their shared style highlights the joy of passing down tastes, traditions, and personal flair. Sue believes in authenticity over trends, championing timeless pieces and accessories that allow each woman to shine in her own way.

Lessons in life and love
Brooke reflects on two lessons from her mother that guide her every day:

  •  Kindness matters. Sue’s simple teaching, “it’s nice to be nice,” has been passed down, radiating warmth across their family and beyond.
  • Presentation is key. From plating a meal to dressing for an occasion, Sue encourages Brooke to honour each moment and the people she shares it with—a sentiment easily reflected in a thoughtfully chosen gift this Mother’s Day.

Celebrating across generations
Brooke attributes her strength, resilience, and spirited side to her mother, while Sue delights in watching her daughter grow into an amazing mother herself. The joy extends to the youngest generation: Parker feels safe and playful with her grandmother, strengthening bonds that will last a lifetime.

This Mother’s Day, celebrate the women who inspire you with thoughtful gifts, shared experiences, and heartfelt gestures. From beauty and fashion to home luxuries and gourmet treats, Colonnades is your destination to find the perfect way to say “thank you” and show your love.
