Let Mum zen out from time to time
Mums need to take their moments of quiet contemplation whenever they can get ‘em… and what better way to do it than by gazing dreamily into this vibrant wind spinner, the seven glass orbs catching and reflecting the sun as they twist in the breeze. Sigh. Ok, back to the laundry pile. $29.95
Sudoku’in it in style
Any Sudoku-devotee knows the feeling – sometimes there are so many crossings out, smudges and teeny tiny numbers on the page that you can barely keep track of what you’re doing. This smart wooden board revolutionises Sudoku puzzling – simply fit one of the 100 printed puzzles beneath the removable grid and use the tiles to work out the solution – there are even 81 mini ‘thinking tiles’ to help solve it. Genius! (Just like your mum always said you were.) $39.95 http://www.innovations.com.au/p/electronics/craft-games/dsudk-deluxe-sudoku-game?utm_source=handyman&utm_campaign=GiftGuide&utm_medium=article
