Flowers, chocolates and breakfast in bed are nice. Hey, even remembering that it’s Mother’s Day is impressive for some of us—but if you’re after something a little bit special for the number one mum in your life this Mother’s Day, we’ve got you covered right here.
Whether you want to gift something sentimental, practical or inspiring, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to show mum you care, thank her for being the boss that brought you into the world and even outshine your siblings.
Here’s your ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide.
Fitbit Versa Lite
Price: $249.95
Get behind mum’s health and fitness goals with one of Fitbit’s super styling smartwatches. As well as looking cool, the tech has come a long way. Your mum will be living her best life with on-wrist workouts, music and access to all her wellness stats sleep duration and stages, menstrual cycles, water intake and resting heart rate. Shop it here.
Gin Society Subscription
Price: From $95
Artisanal booze subscriptions are a big trend right now, offering regular deliveries to keep your at-home bar cart feeling fresh and exciting. If like most mums, your mum is a big fan of the humble G&T, you’ll want to hook her up with a subscription to Gin Society. This bi-monthly drop off includes a full-sized bottle of boutique gin (think foraged gin from Lake Como), a little something to compliment the gin and a copy of Gin Society’s mag, Gin Journal. Check it out here.
Boy Smells Gardener Candle
Price: $49
If your mum is into fresh fragrances, why not introduce her to LA-based candle makers, Boy Smells. Hand poured into a stunning reusable glossy black glass tumbler, each candle features a traditional masculine scent, layered with a prettier bouquet. Our favourite has to be Gardener: think citrus groves, tomato gardens, honeysuckle nectar and flowers still clinging to the vine. Shop it here.
Places We Luv Framed Print
Price: From $67
Created to remember the beautiful beachy places we live in or have travelled to—Places We Luv prints are all original designs and can come unframed or framed and ready to hang.

Shop it here.

Mum might have a signature scent—but why not gift her something new to help her develop her own fragrance library.
