Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

We’ve created this gift guide with mothers of all ages and stages in mind. Whether that notable woman in your life is a mother with young children, older children or grandchildren, we hope you will find something here that will make her feel extra special on Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day – or Mothering Sunday as it’s called in the UK – is celebrated by many families each year, even by those who don’t pay much attention to other special days like Father’s Day or Valentine’s Day. That’s because we all have so much to thank our mothers for. Some of us are just like our mothers; others, swear never to be like our mother! Surely though, we all appreciate our mothers for what they’ve taught and shown us, and we’re ever so grateful for their enduring love, care, and patience.

Some of us are now caring for a mother who may be frail, unwell or in full time care. It is this stage of life that is most precious – a time when we can reflect on our mother’s life and appreciate her as a beautiful person who has come full circle and deserves our respect, honour and gratitude.

Gift Ideas for Mothers with Young Children

Good Chocolate
Buy her some good chocolate or other treat that she can enjoy in the evening when she has a few quiet moments to herself.

Dinner Voucher
Organise babysitting and treat her to her favourite food with a dinner voucher or delicious takeaway. There is nothing she will appreciate more than a night in or out with an adult and a delicious meal prepared for her.

Family Photo Shoot
There is nothing a young mother will treasure more than a beautiful keepsake like this. Ask your Facebook community for recommendations on local photographers – you’re sure to get a few good suggestions.

Gift Ideas for Mothers with Older Children

Breakfast
A slow, relaxing and indulgent breakfast is something every mature mother can only dream of. Make this a reality on Mother’s Day and arrange a delicious breakfast for her at home or at her favourite cafe. Then give her the space and quiet she needs to enjoy the day, her way.

Gourmet food
Mature mothers appreciate specialty food and can be quite selective about what they eat. Buy her a gourmet food gift of the finest quality that she can enjoy all to herself.

Spa Voucher
Boring? Absolutely not! Every mature mother will appreciate the precious gift of relaxation in the form of a spa day or even just a massage.

Gifts for Mothers with Grandchildren

Framed Photo
Coordinate a casual or professional photo shoot of all her grandchildren and then frame the photo for her. Include a beautiful card filled with handwritten messages from you and her grandchildren.

Afternoon Tea Voucher
Arrange a fancy afternoon tea for her at a hotel or restaurant.

Flowers
The tried and tested favourite – you can’t really go wrong with this! Look for something different this year. Try a native Australian flower arrangement, potted African violet or some beautiful orchids.

Whatever you choose to give the mother in your life, include a meaningful handwritten note to say all that you want to say, or just simply, thank you.
