Mother's Day Gifts

Explore our curated Mother’s Day gift guide — beautiful options crafted by coveted Australian and International designers. Our collection of heartfelt gifts is here to help you show your appreciation for all of the motherly figures in your life. From sharing their wisdom and guiding us through life’s challenges to joining us in celebrating our best moments, mothers are truly there through it all. While a single day is hardly enough time to thank our motherly figures for all that they are, it’s a wonderful opportunity to remind them how much they mean to us. And one of the best ways to do that is to commemorate the occasion with something she’ll treasure this Mother’s Day and beyond.

Mother’s Day Gifts | FAQs

So, what are the best Mother's Day Gifts? Gift-giving can be challenging, particularly when you want your gift to convey your appreciation for the giftee. To make things easier, we’ve collated a selection of questions we receive each Mother’s Day so that you can shop with confidence.


Mother’s Day Gifts for Mums Who ‘Have Everything They Need’

More often than not, when your motherly figure tells you she doesn’t want anything for Mother’s Day, it isn’t a trap. Selfless, generous mothers tend to prefer gift-giving over gift-receiving and are typically very thoughtful people. This makes them all the more deserving of something truly beautiful this Mother’s Day. The best Mother's Day gifts for this Mum are items she’d never buy herself, but quietly admires from afar. For the active mum, consider a brand new gym bag or smartwatch — items that will enhance her daily movement and make those tough sessions all the more enjoyable. For the entertainment-loving mum, a sound bar is the perfect option. While the TV’s built-in sound system may work just fine, a soundbar will take her TV-watching or gaming experience to the next level. The key is to think of something she’d point to while window shopping; she won’t buy it for herself, and that’s where you come in!


Mother’s Day Gifts When You Live Far Away

Being apart from the mother figure in your life can be difficult, particularly on Mother’s Day. So, why not opt for a collection of presents for Mum that will bring you together in some way? There's nothing like an indulgent foodie gift — Send your mum a gift box or hamper filled with her favourite food and drinks (think cheese, tea or sweet treats and champagne) and set up a FaceTime call. Make yourself a delicious spread to match and enjoy some quality time together. Alternatively, consider gifting mum something lovely for the home, like a cosy throw blanket, decorative plate or photo frame with her favourite picture in it. While you may not be present in her home, she’ll think of you every time she sees your gift, and you’ll feel close by.


What are Good Mother’s Day Gifts for Partners?

We know that no gift will encapsulate the gratitude you feel for the mother of your children, but Mother’s Day allows you to treat her to something special: a token of your appreciation. Give her the gift of peace by setting up an at-home spa evening. You may like to create your own hamper, featuring a candle, bath salts, a new bath robe and her favourite chocolate and beverage. Collate the gifts in a beautiful basket, run her a bath or set up the couch with blankets and pillows and let the relaxation take over.


Mother’s Day Gifts for Nana

Whether it’s the sneaky sweet she passes to you while your parents aren’t looking or her warm embrace after a long day, grandmothers are always giving to their grandchildren. This Mother’s Day, surprise your grandmother with a gift she’ll truly cherish. For the jet-setting nana, a beautiful option like a kaftan or beach bag will see her through her travels in style. For the foodie nana, a casserole dish or adventurous cook book are our top picks. If she loves all things beauty opt for a new everyday makeup palette. If she’s in need of an at-home spa day, a luxury candle is sure to make her smile.


Unique Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Looking for a unique and thoughtful gift she’ll remember forever? An instant photo kit from Polaroid is the perfect gift for mums who love to capture memories. She’ll be able to add these snaps to her very own scrapbook and come back to those treasured moments long after they’ve passed. If your mum loves entertaining, consider a karaoke machine. She’ll maintain her status as the life of the party and it’s a great activity to enjoy together as a family.


Practical Gifts for Mum

For mums who love all things practical, look to cookware items in fun and bold colours. Not only will she use them regularly, but they’ll also add a splash of excitement to mealtimes. If your mum steers clear of the kitchen, opt for a crossbody bag instead. This stylish take on the bum-bag is perfect for mums on the go and will fit all of the essentials — and she won’t have to worry about lugging around a heavy handbag


Elegant Gifts for Mum

Looking to splurge on something extra special this Mother’s Day? A classic timepiece is the ideal gift for that incredible motherly figure in your life. If you’re not sure whether to opt for gold, silver or rose gold, take a peek at her current jewellery collection and go with the dominant colour. It’s also a good idea to take note of the style of jewellery she likes. For example, if you notice fine-chain jewellery in her collection, go for a slimline band and delicate watch face. Alternatively, a luxury scarf is a wonderful option. Go for something relatively lightweight (look for cashmere materials) so that she can wear it from autumn to spring with ease.


Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Wondering what to gift Mum for Mother’s Day when you’ve left it last minute? It can be stressful to find last-minute gifts under time pressure, so we recommend opting for a David Jones Gift Voucher — but with a twist. Attach a note to your gift card with a personalised message inviting mum on a shopping spree date. She can pick out items she loves while spending quality time with you. Lunch is on you, of course!
