Mothers Day gift guide

t’s all about Mum this Sunday 10th May (as it should be, right?). So, I wanted to share a few of my favourite small Aussie businesses to spark some inspiration... Whether you’re on the hunt for a gift she’ll truly love, or perhaps something you wouldn’t mind dropping a few hints about yourself 💓

Because every Mum is wonderfully unique, we’ve made sure there’s something here for every kind of superstar you’re lucky enough to call Mum.

For the Mum on the go

As adults, we’re always focused on what the kids are eating but it’s easy to forget about ourselves. The Ecococoon stainless steel bento lunch box makes it simple to pack a nourishing lunch just for you. Because your Mum's wellbeing matters too, I know rshe'll love the Ecocooon reusable range.

For the Running Mum

Ask a Mum who is clocking up some km's what she needs to get her through her training and the list will no doubt include "more running shoes".

Add to that a personalised footwear fitting at active feet and you will have made her day! I'm always a fan of gift vouchers for these sorts of practical gifts but if you want to give her something to unwrap I couldn't go past these beauties 👇🏽

For the scent loving, serenity-seeking Mum

Aussie-owned and artisan-made, Red Hill Candle Co is all about slowing down and soaking it all in. Their hand-poured soy candles are our go-to gift pick this Mother's Day, especially for the Mum who does everything and deserves a little more “me time”.

As a repeat customer, my favourite scent is their Persion Lime + Lemongrass. One spark and the whole house feels calmer. That’s a win in our books!

For the Active Mum

Naturally, I can't go past the most practical of gifts for any active Mum... a Sports Bra. Bonus points if you book her in for a bra fitting which we all know she probably needs 😉 We're on hand to help her in to a high impact Sports Bra or whatever it is she needs to get her through her next workout.

For the Mum who loves fuss free cooking

Tweed Real Food is known for its beautifully handcrafted hampers filled with all-natural, Australian-made treats, thoughtfully sourced and packed on a fifth-generation family farm. Each box is designed to bring a little calm and indulgence to mum’s day... think slow breakfasts, relaxed brunches, and simple moments done really well.

For the Mum who treats her Fur Baby like family

Indie Boho is where beautiful design meets everyday life, with beautifully crafted pieces for her fur baby. Known for their artist-inspired prints they create pet essentials that feel as good in your home as they do for your dog or cat.

From luxe pet beds to stylish homewares and travel pieces, there is so much to choose from. A personal fave are the quick dry towels that actually come in handy for us humans too.

For the Mum who loves a good time

Got a Mum who loves a wine and a laugh? Gift them a night out at
Pinot & Picasso and let the good times roll...
A Pinot & Picasso e-gift card can be organised in minutes but the memories and your take home art work will last forever.

For the new Mum

Know a Mum that's just joined club Motherhood? This Rad Mama cap is the ultimate off-duty essential. Crafted in soft organic cord, it blends laid-back style with feel-good comfort... perfect for childcare pick ups, coffee catch-ups or those “I’ve got five minutes to myself” moments.

Find it alongside a long list of essentials for Mum at Babyshop.com.au

For the book obsessed Mum

For the Mum who always has a book within arm’s reach (and a growing stack on the bedside), these Book Decals are a little love letter to her favourite escape. Designed for literary lovers, they’re the perfect way to bring personality to her space... Whether that’s a cosy reading nook, her laptop, water bottle or of course, her kindle case. Printed by our local friends at The Backdrop Collective.

Thanks for reading along 🙏🏽 If you share my passion for small Australian business then I'd love you to consider gifting from one of my clever friends this Mother's Day.

And let's not forget that Mother's Day is a great reminder to not only look after those whom have been looking after us, but to take some time for self-care and self reflection 💕
