Mother’s Day is just around the corner (8th of May if you’re wondering) and while not all of us have a mother we almost certainly all have someone who’s looked out for us, someone who’s cared for us, someone who has supported us no matter what. Maybe it’s your Work Mum, your House Mum, your Chosen Mum, the one who brought you into this world. And it’s these people in our lives who we take the opportunity to thank this Mother’s Day.
Here are the perfect Mother’s Day gift ideas to treat Mum with.
If mum was always stealing your LEGO when you were a kid (we know there aren’t any “magical elves” who complete LEGO builds overnight, Mum!), one of these epic LEGO boxes could be the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Manifest botanical vibes with a striking flower bouquet or bonsai tree, or go all out with a giant, customisable world map.
Ethical underwear label Nisa have put together two wonderful care packs you can gift Mum this Mother’s Day. Their Briefs & Tea Care Pack includes a Nisa organic cotton brief with a high or low waist and one Wellington Apothecary nerving tea in a test tube that’s said to support the nervous system, helping to calm the body and improve sleep quality. Their Briefs & Pink Clay Mask Care Pack pairs a Nisa organic cotton brief, again high or low-waisted, and a pink clay mask that Mum can use to cleanse, purify, refresh, exfoliate or brighten her skin.
Knitwear by hej hej is becoming iconic and rightly so. Helmed by two women who diffuse a deep commitment to sustainability into every piece we’ve completely fallen head-over-heels and Mum might too. This Mellowpuff Knit in Sweet Pea with relaxed shape and epic puff sleeve is made from a mohair wool blend that’s responsible wool standard and sustainable mohair certified.
If you know a mama-to-be then you’re going to want to check out these gorgeous offerings from PURE MAMA and friends. Choose from a luxurious 60-minute pregnancy massage and Pure Mama Belly Oil package redeemable at The Facialist, Auckland from May 8; a Mama-Care-Kit of a Belly Oil, Bump Scrub and Nipple Butter to nourish, south, repair and support; or a joyful bouquet of flowers from BLUSH and a Pure Mama Belly Oil. Pre-order for delivery on Mother’s Day.
These home gym essentials will have all the mums who found their beast mode over the lockdowns beaming from ear to ear this Mother’s Day. Scoop up a medicine ball with grip handle, a couple of kettlebells, and a pilates ring then sort Mum out with a SOPHIE So Sporty Visor for the steez and a UE Boom in Unicorn for magical beats to move to. If there’s still room in the budget, top it all off with an Apple Watch for aaaall the stats.
The incredible artisans at Wellington Chocolate Factory have whipped up a limited edition chocolate bar inspired by Scapegrace Dry Gin, especially for Mother’s Day. Combining dark chocolate vibes with gin botanicals and satisfying coffee notes, this Espresso Martini Dark Chocolate Bar is an essential indulgence. Throw in its gin muse and a pack of Dirty Tonic by Strangelove and you’ve got a stellar Mother’s Day gift.
Pool your Mother’s Day budget with your siblings for this amazing experience. If your mum is more of a quality time love language than gifts, you have got to book her and a plus one *cough* yourself *cough* in for this amazing Helicopter + Mudbrick package. Leaving from Albany, she’ll fly over the iconic Rangitoto Island to a three-course lunch or dinner waiting at the stunning Mudbrick Vineyard on Waiheke Island, complete with a glass of bubbles. This will surely give her a Mother’s Day she won’t forget.
If your loved one is a true Earth Mama or an aspiring one, then this Art of Foraging with Apéro Cocktails experience set in a tiny native forest called Arcuna could be a lovely Mother’s Day gift. In this unique four-hour immersion you’ll feast on native plants, learning to identify them in nature through a Nordic-style perspective on Aotearoa’s edible flora led by Danish botanical artist, Mamakan. Part art installation, part cooking lesson, part nature gathering, proceeds will go towards the protection of the biodiversity of the Arcuna Forest.
Game Of Thrones may have finished but winter is still coming and Mum’s feet will enjoy the colder months a helluva lot more if they’re kitted out in these Fluff Yeah Slides by UGG. Featuring a sheepskin upper and insole, and a toasty liner made with 80% upcycled wool and 20% antibacterial lyocell they’re certainly a conversation starter. And if Mum’s partial to a bit of a rhyme the Pride Slide comes in two great colourways: rainbow and what we’re calling candy unicorn.
If your heart’s set on a gift box but all the possibilities have you wanting to curl up into a ball, Father Rabbit’s customisable Mother’s Day Box could be the answer. They’ve curated a manageable-sized collection of some of their best speciality items for you to choose from. Ranging from self-care and tasty treats to a trio of elegant cards and a minimalist box, you’ll have all bases covered in just a few clicks.
Speaking of mothers who feel the cold an oodie could be just the thing. Made from ultra-soft flannel and warm Sherpa fleeces this oversized wearable blanket, complete with pocket, will keep Mum cosy through the winter months. And she’ll look damn fine decked out in dachshunds, almond lattes, avocados, garlic bread, cocktails, superheroes and more.
