Stuck on what to get Mum? We get it — our mums are the most special people in our lives, which can make it hard to pick the perfect gift. Don’t worry, we’ve compiled a list of of gifts for every type of mum, making your job easier than ever.
Skincare for the mum who needs a boost
Boost Mum’s current skin care regime with some new products. This works for mums who already love their skincare and need a top up on their faves, as well as mums who wouldn’t usually treat themselves to products — you get to do it for them!
Skincare is personal so it’s important to have an understanding of your mums skin type and product and brand preferences, but if you do it right, skincare can be the perfect pick-me-up for mums.
If she’s already got her routine down pat, and her cupboard is full, try products like masks or treatments that are outside her everyday routine, but will work well alongside it. We love the skincare packs from Go-To, which also sells a great range of products for ageing skin.
Swimwear for the mum who loves a dip
Every mum deserves to feel like a goddess when she goes to the beach or pool this summer. If you’re looking for a new brand, RAQ Apparel stocks a wide range of sizes (far more so than you’d see in most stores) — in fact the brand stocks options for over 66 bra sizes! This essentially guarantees something for every body type, in various unique and trendy designs. RAQ is also an Australian brand, so a great option for mums who love to support Aussie businesses.
An urban jungle for the green-thumb mum
The perfect gift for mums who like the idea of gardening but don’t have the space is a modular planter specifically designed for growing a wide range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The Glowpear urban gardens have an iconic, contemporary design and durable construction that makes them perfect for balconies, courtyards, decks and patios, while clever design features ensure they are ready for use on any surface, indoor or out. But best of all, we love the fact that you’ll never have to worry about forgetting to water your plants again. Every Glowpear urban garden comes with its own integrated self-watering system to ensure your plants thrive, regardless of your busy lifestyle.
Handcrafted jewellery for the glamorous mum
Let your mum know how much she means to you with a thoughtfully crafted piece of handmade jewellery. We love the Najo range of sterling silver jewellery pieces, all handcrafted in Mexico by skilled jewellers. The brand’s stunning collection contains beautifully unique pieces designed to be collected, adored, and passed on to future generations.

Fancy tea for the mum who enjoys a good cuppa
All mums need a break in the day to sit back and enjoy a quite moment. The Tea Centre offers an impressive range of teas in loose leaf, tea bags, and box set options.
An Australian owned and operated business, the Tea Centre makes a unique selection of Australian-inspired flavours, including Davidson Plum, Pepperberry & Cinnamon Myrtle, and Smoked Redgum, as well as some more classic flavours like Native Lemongrass & Ginger.
While your mum likely buys herself tea regularly, there’s a good chance she’s not spoiling herself with special flavours or unique blends. Sometimes all it takes is an elevated version of an everyday essential to feel a little special — and tea provides the perfect opportunity to do that. Whether she’s drinking it to-go for the morning commute, or using it as an opportunity to unwind while she does a face mask, it doesn’t get much better than a really good cup of tea.
Wardrobe storage boxes for the organised mum
If your mum is the constantly complaining about her overwhelming wardrobe, or unorganised drawers, if she’s the type to organise and reorganise, then she will love the range of storage boxes and accessories to transform her wardrobe from Sagitine. The stackable, multipurpose boxes are available in three sizes, ideal for shoes, accessories, garments and even gowns. Boxes can be purchased individually or with accompanying stands, which transform the boxes into stylish storage units. Also available is a curated range of accessories including beautiful English made polished horn clothes brushes, cedar blocks, lavender and herb pouches and drawstring muslin bags to keep valuable fabrics safe and sound.
Pilates Sessions for the Mum Who Needs To Recharge
Give mum a break and buy her a package of Pilates sessions to help her unwind, feel good, and take some time for herself. Pilates is a great way to workout; it concentrates on the mind/body connection and builds strength, tone and focus. The best way to organise this is to look into pilates studios local to her, they will each likely have their own packages and buying options, including introductory offers for new comers. Just make sure she’s actually interested in pilates before investing in this one!
Whatever your mums interests are, she deserves to be spoilt. Whether you go with one of the brands or options we’ve recommended, or something else entirely, we hope your mum loves it. You know her best, so go on — get gifting!
