Handmade For Mum

April 30, 2026 By Lorraine Everest

Last minute gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

Are you looking to buy a small home cre­ated gift for your mum this Mother’s Day? You will be able to do just that on Saturday 2 May from the Forbes Evening Branch of CWA (FEBCWA) Mother’s Day Stall in the CBD of our Forbes Community.

Members of the FEBCWA will be creat­ing beautiful items for you to browse and purchase. There will also be tickets avail­able for three Mother’s Day Pampering Parcels with the lucky winners being drawn on Thursday 7 May.

The contents of the pampering pack prizes have been donated and presented by the Members of the FEBCWA. The first pampering pack will contain a hand cre­ated lap quilt, while the second contains a $50 gift voucher (to be spent in Forbes) and the third contains pampering treat sim­ilar to packs 1 & 2.

Forbes Evening Branch would also like to thank all members of the community and local businesses who supported our Christ­mas Raffle, especially Cahills for multiple vouchers, Serendipity Studio for the donat­ed piece of pottery, and Spok Wooldridge for his artwork. A total of 18 prizes were drawn, with all winners receiving their sur­prises prior to Christmas.
