Don't forget it's Mother's Day next Sunday May 13. IMAGE: Supplied

MOTHER'S Day is the one day of the year to really express how much you love and appreciate your mum. As much as this is a great opportunity, we know that this also comes with some stress.

Finding your mum the best present in the world is not an easy task, but we are happy to help you! Local businesses have done their best to make life easy for you and offer something special this Mother's Day.

Do you have an adventure mum or one who loves local seafood? There is something to spoil every mum!

SEAFOOD LOVER MUM

Local favourite, and two time National Award Winner for Best Seafood Restaurant, 2 Fish will be serving a lunchtime seafood platter for 2 with complimentary bubbles for mum for $55 this Mother's Day.

The platter named Fruit de Mer is a delicious mix of chilled tiger prawns, South Australian oysters, house cured Gravalax, yellow fin sashimi, steamed mussels and grilled bug tail. This brand new dish will be officially launched at 2 Fish's new menu launch on the May 25.

2 Fish owner Meg Oatley says:

"We've had such great feedback on people's experiences at 2 Fish with people often returning two-three times in the one trip. People love the the fresh FNQ seafood that we use and are blown away by the inventiveness in our dishes and staff who go above and beyond to make their time with us special.

"We are expecting a big Mother's Day Night too with 2Fish a popular choice for families. The 2 Fish kids packs are a great way to entertain little people while adults can savour the experience."

FANCY MUM

Flowers, chocolates and pampering are obviously always welcome on Mother’s Day (and on any day!) but nothing will show Mum just how much you care more than making her feel like a Queen at QT’s fanciful High Tea.

Sprinkle the sparkle on her day with a glass of bubbles and an indulgent ensemble of sweet and savoury delicacies such as coconut, spiced pineapple rum truffles and herb cured ocean trout brioche with citrus ricotta, salmon roe and young celery.

With cups full of elegance and charm that says 'thank you, Mum', this experience is a little something different to celebrate your mama that will not disappoint.

For more information visit QT Port Douglas website or call 07 4099 8900 to book.

ANIMAL LOVER MUM

If you bring Mum into the Wildlife Habitat this Mother’s Day for Breakfast with the birds, not only will you get a FREE koala photo to make a memory, you will also be getting the chance to experience eight acres of advanced eco accredited immersion exhibits, across four distinct environments.

With over 100 native species on exhibit and over 600 individual animals across Wetlands, Woodlands, Savannah and Rainforest environments, there is sure to be one that becomes Mum’s favourite.

Help her hand feed kangaroo’s and wallabies, take her on any one of the free daily presentations and tours that visit the endangered southern cassowaries, Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos, and cheeky Australian pelicans, or drop back into Curlew Café and grab a locally made gelato after smiling at our crocodiles.

If you don’t have a Local 4 park pass already that provides you unlimited entry to all four CaPTA parks for 12 months from date of purchase, enquire at reception on Mother’s Day to hear about the great deal on offer.

Visit us at wildlife Habitat this Mother’s Day and make memories that will last a lifetime.
