With Mother’s Day already just around the corner, it’s safe to say that 2023 is seriously flying by. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the New Year.

Showing your mum how much you love and appreciate them through gift form can be tough; let’s be honest, there’s really no present that ever compares to giving your mum a simple hug! But still, it’s important we try.

So, to help you out, we’ve pulled together a list of thoughtful gift ideas for mum this Mother’s Day. Ahead, you’ll find gift ideas for mums of all tastes — whether she’s into homewares, fitness or tech.

Jewellery

Give mum everyday wearables that will remind her of you (her favourite kid) each time she lays eyes on it. Bonito has created a number of timeless pieces that the mother in your life will adore. The Apollo Statement Earrings ($160) are a great way for her to add some minimalist bling to the simplest of outfits. Or if she’s more fashionable than you, don’t sleep on gifting her The Rachael — Red Agate Stone and Leather Necklace ($110).

Comfy Basics

Take one less thing off your mum’s mental list and give her comfortable basics that she won’t need to think twice about throwing on before rushing out the door for weekend errands. Paire’s Classic T-Shirt Pack ($237) includes three pastel coloured basic tees — light blue (Sky), off-white (Snow) and mint green (Pistachio). Or if your mum is the type to wait until things are tattered and torn before throwing them out, there’s likely a pair of socks in her drawer that’s ready to go into retirement. Grab this bundle of autumn inspired Merino Wool Socks ($72) to give her extra warmth during these impending colder months.

Personalised Home Fragrances

Give mum a gift that’s truly her own with this ‘In Bloom’ Engraved Candle ($44.95) from Peppermint Grove. With top notes of melon and crushed lemon zest and base notes of cedarwood and amber, the scent can be described as refreshingly floral. And make it extra special with a 40-character message engraved on its lid.

Beauty Packs

L’Occitane en Provence has curated a range of great smelling beauty packs to suit any budget from luxury bundles to gifts under $30. If your mum loves a bit of everything the Iconic Collection ($199) is your best bet. This pack includes Shea Butter Hand Cream, Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum, Almond Shower Oil, Shea Ultra Rich Minute Hand Scrub and the Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette Roll On all wrapped up in a Signature L’Occitane Gift Box. Or if you’re looking for another option with less of a hefty price tag, grab a Mini Hand Cream Trio for just $19.

IDK if it’s just the case for my mum, but most do love a bit of a seasonal interiors change! Help them update their bedroom vibe with a Hemp Linen Sheet Set (from $360) or Duvet Set ($290)from Eva Home that come in a gorgeous selection of colours like oat, olive, mustard and terracotta.

Fabrics

Does your mum sew? If so, you can’t go wrong with some gorgeous fabrics from Liberty London. Their newly released Liberty Travels collection of fabrics, such as the Willow’s Garden Organic Tana Lawn™ Cotton ($56 AUD per metre) would not only make a divine skirt, but is also sure to inspire thoughts of travel and creativity.

Personalised Luggage

With travel picking back up, it could be time for your mum to get some new luggage. Get in before her, and buy her a stylish suitcase for Mother’s Day. Melbourne-based luggage and travel bag brand, July has a range of sturdy weekender or jetsetter style bags to choose from. And the best part is, you can personalise it just for her. Pick the luggage your mum would like best and then personalise with her name, favourite quote, or even a cute emoji.

An Eco-Friendly Phone Case

We all know that mums love accessories, so why not help them make their phone a statement piece!? CASETiFY have some gorgeous phone cases, such as this Paradise Plants by Bodil Jane ($131) made from 65% recyclable materials.

Coffee Table Book

TASCHEN dominate when it comes to coffee table books. There are so many beautiful books to choose from, you’re bound to found something niche to your mum’s interests. For my mum, I’d probably go for Massimo Listri’s The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries ($300 AU) or 1000 Chairs ($39 AU).

A Sodastream

Who doesn’t want bubbly water at all times? If your mum doesn’t already have one, get her a Sodastream Duo Sparkling Water Machine Metallic Black ($299) this Mother’s Day.

A Dating Profile

Is your mum single (and a little scared to mingle)? You could do the dirty work for her and create her an eHarmony account online, to kick off her dating journey.

Massage and Facial

Treat mum to a luxurious 90 minute facial package ($189), where she’ll be pampered by a skincare expert that will tailor the treatment to her skin’s needs. You could get your mum a package for some “me time” or you could even go with her to amp up the cuteness!

Stylish Pajamas

You can never have too many pajamas, and I’m sure your mum would agree. Calvin Klein’s curated Mother’s Day edit are the perfect loungewear staples to gift your mum for a comfier (and more stylish sleep).

The CK One Pajama Pants ($79.95) are especially cute.

Coffee Machine

Gone are the days of coming home from your school’s Mother’s Day fair with a “World’s Greatest Mum” mug because now is the time to give her something to put in it. The Lavazza A Modo Mio Capsule Coffee Machine Smeg Cream ($349) looks chic on the counter top whilst making a yummy cup of coffee. Start mum’s morning right!
