Last Minute Gifts For Mum: 62 Awesome Presents She’ll Actually Love This Mother’s Day

Created by a mum who needed a minute, Fleck is for the one holding herself to impossible standards, running on autopilot, and reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time. In other words, most mums.

Fleck is essentially permission to slow down, even just for a moment. Designed in Perth, it turns journaling into something actually achievable, not aspirational, making it our top pick for mums juggling it all. The Fleck Set pairs an elegant B5 journal with a 50-prompt card deck, guiding her through short, thoughtful reflections that take just five to ten minutes. No pressure, no overthinking, just pull a card and write freely. Because life might be complicated, but journalling doesn’t have to be.

For the mum who loves to shop local and shop chic, we’ve solved your gifting gripes. Grounded in a ‘work-to-weekend’ ethos, Aussie-born fashion label JAG is doing the most, serving up better basics, denim and layering staples that can be dressed up for the office and toned down on the weekend. If you know her style, shop the range and pull together an iconic ‘fit here, or play it safe and nab a gift voucher.

Let's be honest, rugging up in winter can feel a tad blah, but naturally, the gang at PE Nation know better. Their new Pivot Puffer in Leopard is the most chic, pattern-punched puffer that'll keep you snuggly without the usual dull tones. The quality is luxe as usual, and you're guaranteed to keep the compliments flowing every time you throw it on.

Unfortunately the words mum and sleep are not always the most comfy combo; enter The Wind Down Ritual. Kick off an hour before beddy byes with the blissful Easy Breezy Magneezy berry powder loaded with magnesium and all the good stuff to help that tension start to release, set the mood with the Things Will Calm Down Now pillow and room spray (which smells like a big heavenly cloud might we add), then lather up our fave Night Shift Body Butter on your feet, heels and whole body to really ensure yourself a decadent, glorious sleep. Our editor's been using all three as a precious little wind down ritual for about a week, and has gratefully slept more deeply than she has in what feels like forever. 

If you have a mum in your orbit that travels a lot, please please please win your gifting by picking her up one of Bagsmart's Blast Travel Backpacks. Not only did Oprah declare these one of her 'favourite things' last year, but about half our team has fallen head over heels in love with these smart, chic, travel bags that fit a ridiculous amount of stuff in a sneaky amount of space (and even have their own shoe compartment, I mean come on). In a rainbow of stunner colour tones, our editor has literally just ordered three for gifts...and potentially one in beige for herself too.

You know that fancy feeling when you hit someone's bathroom and sense an Aesop hand or body wash awaiting you? Well, we pretty much jumped out of our skin at the opportunity to have that luxurious little ritual in our day with the brand new Aesop Resolute Facial Concentrate. Completely gentle on sensitive skin, but loaded up with Squalane, Sea Fennel, Cedar Atlas and other decadent ingredients to leave you feeling plumped and fresh, any mother would be delighted to unwrap this beauty. 

Cookbooks and coffee table reads are no brainers in our books (get it?) simply because they're weighty,  delicious *and* can be picked up for those accident forgot-to-grab-a-gift gifts. The Indonesian Vegetarian Table is right at the top of our travel editor's list this Mother's Day as it's brimming with fresh, zesty recipes that remind her of her many Balinese sojourns and the bright, spicy myriad of Indonesian cooking at its finest. 

Teeny little tiptoes on my glassware? Gorgeous. FAZEEK is an Aussie powerhouse in the homeware game, but their new Physique range might be our favourite drop yet. The sweetest of a special little tipple for mum, we're crushing hard on these ones.

You can never have too many cute pouches, and mum would agree. Enter Cosmic Milk, the new label by Korean creative Hana Hong offers cushioned, water-resistant Malang and Poksin pouches in six (soon to be eight) dreamy colours—perfect for tossing into a gym bag, errand tote or styling solo, all priced between $25–$50 AUD. Practical, playful, and just a little bit personal—it’s the cute gift that’s made to be used every day.

Literally *the* most drop dead gorgeous kitchenware we've seen in our lives, The Assorted Bunch is our new favourite colour-punched Aussie brand that promises to spice up any chef's kitchen life. The Full Bunch set is your answer to decluttering that anxiety-inducing cutlery cupboard in the most swoony palettes. We're dreaming about the butter yellow, but we've got a big fat crush on the mulberry too.

Heartwood is a beloved local WA biz in the Perth office that celebrates the magical properties of all things sandalwood. Launching this month, the Santalum Indian Sandalwood Face Cream feels regal in its scent, fluffiness and decadence as it soaks into your (very lucky) skin. Anchored with the highest concentration of Indian Sandalwood, you can't help but feel immediately plumped, glossy and glowing with this beauty in your reach. Our travel editor was lucky enough to get her hands on an early release, and the compliments haven't stopped rolling since. 

What started as Nala's functional Fit Guide has evolved into something far more permanent and delicious with this brilliant coffee table collection of real stories all about motherhood, identity, survival and change. Chatting to a bunch of the country's most recognised women like Paula Joye, Nadia Fairfax-Wayne and Robyn Lawley, CHESTS is chic, conversation-sparking and cheeky—plus $10 from every sale goes directly to the McGrath Foundation. 

If mum's handbag is looking a little worse for wear, may we introduce you to the luxury leather gloriousness that is Maison De Sabré. Each stunningly-crafted piece in the new Spring Harvest collection makes our hearts pitter patter, but the Emerald Lily Mini Bucket Bag charmed up with the Sabrémoji Pea Vegetable Charm (that's also a lipstick holder FYI, adorable) is the ultimate gift for that special human any time of year.

Our travel editor goes through *a lot* of serums, but never before has she raved so much about a single product...until she realised Bespoke also offered a dream cream and two absolutely glowy cleansers too. As someone that goes light on make up, skincare really matters and this set has earnt endless compliments about the plumpness and zing of her skin. Worth every penny (especially when you're getting such a golden bundle deal right now) and a game-changer for anyone needing a brighten up.

As Autumn creeps in and the mornings get a tad cooler, we'll be living in this Lorna Jane Streamline Quarter Zip Sweat to keep us cosy. We love an elevated quarter zip as a cute throw-on layer, as it's a dream for busy mums juggling school runs, coffee catch ups and all the mania in between. The chocolate tones are divine too.

Once you've jumped onto the Nala train, we can assure you that you'll be sticking around for a long time (just ask our travel editor). The Supportive Wirefree Bralette is not only completely supportive, but is soft and sexy as hell. There's a ton of rich, decadent colour picks too, but we're digging the Chocolate Mousse and Poison Ivy right now. 

One late night while she should have been maximising her sleeping time, our editor's algorithm threw her the world's sweetest (literally) tee, and she immediately had to have it. You know we love a relaxed fit for those chaotic mornings as mothers, and this stunner of an Aussie biz has a slew of the most nostalgic, glam shirts to make any old day feel a tad special. Every dang tee is cuter than the last, and are no-brainers for gifting (for yourself too, obviously).

This shiny, more grown-up version of Go-To's beloved OG The Repair Shop, the new Very Luxe Repair Mask is perfect for those busy, dehydrated, on-the-move mammas who need a quick moment of R&R away from the chaos and carnage. Like an IV drip for sad, dull skin, this glorious little treat is right at the top of our Mum's gift list this year (and all of ours too).

You know you're onto a winning gift when our Entertainment Editor sees this online and immediately orders one for herself. These divine personalised bracelets (available in gold or silver to suit your style) feature a delicate pearl along side your own chosen letter, whether that be your own intial or that of a little one. OR, if you want to go full mum vibes, this stunning 18K Gold Mum bracelet piece designed by Saint Valentine's founder to commemorate the birth of her first child is an absolute dream. Both completely darling and something worth keeping for eternity, this precious package will put you as #1 in mum's books for sure. 

Our stationery-obsessed, never-without-stamps-just-in-case travel editor has absolutely lost her mind over this glorious new modern day card-sending service that launched this week. The newest venture from Aussie queen Sophie Hughes, this might just be the most thoughtful gift you could send a mum (or anyone) if they're a little further away this festive season. 

At the top of a bunch of the U:L Mum's lists this Mother's Day, the brand spanking new Ooni Volt 2 12" Indoor Electric Pizza Oven is something otherworldly. It takes literally 90 short seconds to create your own restaurant-quality pizza at home, meaning feeding little ones (slash the big kids too) could become a whole lot easier and more delicious. It's sleek and smart and all the things mothers need in the kitchen, so go on and treat that special woman this year.

Could these clever little makeup pouches be any more adorable? We think not. This local South Australian lady start-up is all about ditching the bulky makeup bags and zip locks for something a whole lot more chic; enter the Pout Pouch. In a range of the most gorg colours (we're loving the cherry red), these velvety pouches are just the right size to fit all your glosses on the go and make the sweetest little gift that'll actually get used. 

Put it on, go to sleep, wake up glowing—it's that simple. This overnight cream-mask hybrid works hard while you rest, bringing beauty sleep to the next level to deliver some seriously rested and hydrated skin over night. A dream (pardon the pun) for sleep-deprived mothers and aging skin, we feel like Clinique is an absolute no-brainer when it comes to mum gifting.

Get straight to the point with GHD's new Cherry Chic range. For a limited time, you can get your new luxe tools personally engraved as the cherry on top.

Warm, lingering, bright and enchanting, you'll find this gorg creation from Carner Barcelona wafting from our travel editor for the foreseeable future. Tardes is packed with egyptian geranium, bulgarian rose, almond, cedar wood, plum and musk to give that sort of mysterious scent that you're guaranteed a ton of compliments for. A little bit extra special for the precious mum in your life, go on, she deserves it right?

Stacked to the brim with postbiotics, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and a ton of comforting copper and zinc gluconates, the AMPERNA Soothing Duo is a little bit of skincare luxury. The Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion gives you a big nourish, while the Probiotic+ DS Soothing Serum is all about leaving you feeling extra glowy and balanced. We love how fresh and gentle it feels on our AM and PM skin, and of course, that it's an Aussie company.

We're long time fans of Mimmi, and their chic new Natura bags are some of our favourites so far. The Zitti Raffia Bag feels like one of those little every day luxuries that the busy, stylish mamma in your life absolutely needs. We're obsessed with the natural fibres and neutral tones that'll suit any palette or outfit. This one's a no brainer.

We're firm lovers of the entire Gentle Habits range, but their new Heartfire Ritual Pack truly is something a little bit luxe for the mother figures in your life. With the notes of citrus, leather and smoky wood permeating through our office right now, we can firmly attest to the zen that'll fall over you when you take a breath of these dreamy new incense sticks and perfume oil. 

The striped boxy tee has to be *the* mum wardrobe staple, and this cute yellow stripe oversize tee is brilliant as it suits any style, size or vibe. Extra comfy and effortlessly cool, we know clothes can sometimes be a bit tricky to pick as gifts, but this one's a guaranteed winner in our books.

For the woman who deserves deep rest and radiant mornings. MyPause Health's Sleep Pack curation pairs Women’s Skin Support Plus (full size) with Sleep Assist (full size), a calming Lavender Sleep Mist, and a silk eye mask with a removable gel insert that can be cooled. Think drinkable skincare, smoother nights and a gentler wake-up. Science-led gifts created by women who are living peri and menopause.

Sometimes it's nice to make sure you're taking care of mum's health in little helpful ways. Our travel editor has been loving these LVL UP Passionfruit Sachets (and every single other flavour in the range) since the birth of her little man to give her that early morning boost, and we can't recco them enough for a quick hydration boost.

Housed in an elegant coloured glass vessel with a matching shield label, the ECOYA Metro Candle is a refreshed twist on their cult classic. With notes of pear, gardenia and cinnamon, this delectable scent offers up to 55 hours of burn time.

Another office fave we're already sending our SOs for Christmas and beyond, the Trace Open Band crated by Lindelli is a gorgeous addition to any lucky hand. Yes, it's a splurge, but these fluid curves around these graduating bezel-set round diamonds are completely irresistible in our books. Refined, endlessly wearable and perfect stacked or solo, this is one worth saving those pennies for.

If Mum fancies herself a beauty aficionado, treat her to a LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Box subscription. Each month, she’ll unwrap six luxe beauty finds worth over $90, from skincare heroes to pampering bodycare and makeup must-haves, all packed in a sustainably sourced, 100% recyclable box. With new products every month, there’s always something new to enjoy. Pay as you go, or lock in a 3, 6 or 12-month plan. Because life’s better with little treats!

An affordable gift that packs a punch, Clinique’s Skin School Supplies: Cleanser Refresher Course Set gives Mum an easy-to-follow, three-step, three-minute routine, twice a day. The set includes a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser, covering all the essentials for hydrated, nourished skin. Dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free and gentle, it’s ideal for updating Mum’s routine without overwhelming her vanity shelf with too many confusing prods.

If Mum lives for that first morning brew, treat her to Pablo & Rusty’s At Home Beans subscription. Delicious, specialty coffee delivered straight to her door so she never has to face an empty bean jar again. Pick her style (any of the three core blends, a single-origin espresso, a filter roast, or decaf), and the frequency (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly), and let the good times roll. The beans come as two 250-gram bags and are roasted in Sydney.

There's few gifts more precious to receive than a photobook, particularly when it's filled to the brim with special memories from your babies. Our editor's loving Once Upon right now for their gorgeous quality and beautiful feel of each book that those at the shopping centres just can't compete with. The site is super easy to navigate too, plus shipping is ultra fast to make sure you get it for whatever occasion. Go on, make her day.

A fancy body oil is a universally appreciated gift, and the ALPHA-H Firming Peptide Body Oil is our top pick. It’s packed with peptides, plant oils, and antioxidants to firm skin, smooth fine lines, and boost elasticity, especially across the delicate neck and décolleté.

This sweet, fruity cologne features notes of Cassis, Acacia Honey and Peach.

Head scarves are the accessory du jour, instantly levelling up any look. We’re a little bit in love with this printed equestrian satin beauty from Petit Moments, which is versatile enough to wear as a bandana, tied under the chin for retro vibes, or styled as a chic neck scarf. Lightweight and beautifully patterned, it brings pulled-together polish to any outfit (and is a lifesaver on bad hair days).

Want to brighten Mum’s day year-round? The Fig & Bloom Bespoke Bright And Colourful subscription delivers hand-picked seasonal bouquets in mood-boosting hues. The best part? You choose the frequency from weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Each arrangement is one-of-a-kind, showcasing the freshest blooms of the season.

Cowgirl hats are having a major moment and Arms of Eve’s take on the classic is pure perfection. Handwoven from durable water hyacinth fibres, the Jackson wide-brim sunhat will be worn all summer long. With an adjustable drawstring, one-size-fits-most fit, and a choice of light or dark natural finishes, it’s every bit as practical as it is stylish.

Chic and keeps Mum caffeinated? Sign us up. Handmade in Italy, the Bialetti x Dolce & Gabbana Moka Express brings iconic Sicilian-cart artwork to her benchtop while brewing six rich, espresso-style cups at a time. With its classic aluminium build, heat-safe handle and compatibility across gas, electric and ceramic cooktops, it’s a stylish upgrade that elevates both her kitchen corner and her morning ritual.

We’d bet good money Mum hasn’t updated her perfume stash in a while. Enter Gucci Bloom (100ml) - it’s summer in a scent with jasmine, tuberose and rangoon creeper. Fresh and irresistible, she’ll love it.

The Sailor Sunglasses will be her new everyday specs. A modern riff on the aviator, they’re crafted from luxe acetate with a sculptural nose bridge and gold foil Oroton accents. Swoon!

All mums should have a silk nightie at least once in their life (sorry, but there comes a point in time when you simply must part from your ex-ex-partner’s tracksuit and band tee), and nobody does them better than Papinelle. We’re obsessed with the Camille Silk Lace Mini Slip, made from sumptuously soft 100% Mulberry silk with delicate lace trim.

For the busy mum who’s been meaning to refresh her makeup bag (and routine) in yonks, but hasn’t quite gotten around to it, spoil her with Merit’s Five-Minute Morning set. Complete with seven clean, vegan essentials from their cult range, including the Minimalist Complexion Stick, Flush Balm, Shade Stick, Day Glow Highlighting Balm, Clean Lash Mascara, Brow Pomade and Brush No.1. Her go-to kit for a glowing look in five minutes flat.

Speak to any mum and they’ll most likely be desperate for a massage, but actually booking it in? Well, that’s another story. RedBalloon’s Ultimate Facial & Massage Package provides two full hours of luxe pampering that she'll never forget. From deeply rejuvenating facial treatments to tension-melting massages, this experience is available in most capital cities of Australia, which means she can pick a location close to home and finally unwind.

Sunshine yellow and seriously stylish, the Samsonite Oc2Lite Expandable Carry-on Suitcase is a crowd-pleasing present for any discerning traveller. With a hardcover shell, it’s built to last with lightweight polypropylene, a TSA lock, anti-theft zippers, and a reinforced shell that resists wear.

These chic, super useful beach mats are everything we didn't realise we needed for living our best summer lives. In a ton of funky retro patterns and sassy colour palettes, our editor's spent fifteen minutes (no joke) going back and forth on which design she wants to buy for herself. We've landed on the cream and cocoa, but you'll want to check 'em out for mum too.

You can’t go wrong with a white linen dress, and nobody does them better than beloved Aussie label Bondi Born. The Leiden Universal Cami, crafted from ultra-light organic linen with adjustable shoestring straps and thigh-high splits, is beyond effortless and easy to style up or down. It’s the kind of piece that will fast become Mum’s wear-everywhere dress.

Tick off Mum’s bucket-list dream with a 60-minute hot air balloon flight over Alice Springs. Riding at sunrise with sweeping desert views, capped off with a champagne toast, this will be a gift she’ll remember for a lifetime.

Get salon-worthy hair at home with the Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler & Dryer in Jasper Plum. Featuring six versatile attachments, this clever tool analyses your hair type and automatically adjusts heat, airflow and timing for flawless results. The outcome? Effortless styling and a guaranteed good hair day, every day.

Light up Mum’s world with the Therabody TheraFace LED Mask, a glow-boosting, skin-loving device that will give her professional-level LED light therapy from the comfort of home. Using medical-grade red, blue and infrared light, it targets fine lines, blemishes and skin tone in just a few minutes a day.

The Tazz is a modern take on the classic UGG Tasman slipper. It features a 1.5-inch platform, with the same plush lining UGG fans know and love.

These charming 18k gold earrings feature a butterfly back and are also available in sterling silver.

This luxury jewellery case makes travelling with your favourite pieces even easier, providing safe storage for bracelets, necklaces and rings.

This beautifully packaged lip balm will add both hydration and a natural pink hue to lips.

Calling all postpartum mammas or simply anyone needing a little extra pep in their (hair) step. This miracle leave-in conditioner smells fab, goes on flawlessly without feeling heavy or greasy *and* most importantly, helps to re-grow those precious follicles when an extra little love is needed.  

With soft, organic curves, this brightly coloured dish is perfect for holding precious treasures.

Just because summer's gone, doesn't mean you have to lose that glowy, golden shimmer. This clear (love), transfer-free formula means no streaks and no stained sheets to add to that ever-growing laundry pile—just that effortless, just-got-back-from-holiday skin that puts a little pep in your mamma's step.

This decadent box dreamy for the zen-craving mamma is not only packed with divine goodies but is also hand-assembled by women rebuilding their lives after domestic and family violence, thanks to Mettle's employment and training program. There's all sorts of stunning boxes for every member of the family, so make sure to check 'em out. 

You know a product is truly tried and tested when our travel editor religiously sips her almond milk KAILO Sleep Well smoothie every single night. This powerful yet delicious sleep support collagen blend tastes like an upmarket, more decadent choccy milk while fuelling your body with all the beautiful natural remedies needed to bring you a restful and restorative sleep, perfect for the busy mamma in your life.

Know a busy mamma who can't fit a nail salon appointment into the chaos? Enter La-Bek. Founded by two brilliant Aussie biz owners, these wrap-on nails come in the most charming rainbow of tones and are some of the very best quality we're yet to see. They're super simple to get on and look ultra luxe without the hefty price tag for those on a budget too. A double win. 

A unique take on the classic tote, this hand-woven design is designed to withstand a lifetime of daily rituals and adventures.

Meticulously crafted from natural grain leather in a minimalist silhouette, this hobo-style shoulder bag will get better with every wear.
