Are you stretched for time and need some inspiration right now for a Mother's Day gift?
If you’re feeling frustrated or unsure about which gift you could give your Mum, we’d love to share these 19 surprisingly different gifts to spark your own unique gift ideas.
Yes, there’s still time to duck out and get a voucher - or gift - inspired by this list!
Firstly, a quick disclaimer - this post is not full of products from our website. We wanted to share ideas that are a little different, surprising, or are fun experiences – to delight Mums of all ages.
I hope that there's a gift idea here to help you find the perfect gift... even if you’re super busy (like I am) and always stretched for time!
So, be adventurous - forget the slippers and hand cream this year – and try something different!
Here we go...
EXPERIENCES – fun things Mum may love to do…
You might like to try one of these… a Voucher can be purchased for most of these experiences, making life easy all ‘round.
⭐ Movie vouchers – Mum a movie fan? Get her a voucher to have a relaxing couple of hours at the movies.
⭐ How about a "forest bathing" walk. This is a restful, guided walk through a local forest, to drink in the fresh air and calm surrounds. Perfect for the frazzled Mum.
⭐ Does your Mum have a favourite band she’d like to see? Book a ticket (or two) and send her off to enjoy a concert.
⭐ If she lives close enough to a zoo where you can "pat a giraffe”, "sleep beside a lion" (okay, there is some strong glass in between!) - or cuddle a koala – what an amazing surprise gift that would be!
⭐ Buy a good book that she’s been eyeing off recently – so she can enjoy some ‘relax’ time reading it at her leisure. An added snack basket is a nice finishing touch.
⭐ And of course, eco-friendly wine, or chocolates, are wonderful gifts where every sip, or morsel, can be enjoyed.
EAT, DRINK AND ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULL!
🎀 Pack and deliver a hamper full of picnic goodies to your Mum.
🎀 Take your Mum to High Tea (bookings may be getting a little tight though). Or, if it’s her style, buy her some Australian tea and a nice teapot so she can enjoy ongoing delightful afternoon teas throughout the year.
🎀 Kids can make home made biscuits and pack them into a nice re-usable round tin that has a lovely picture or design on it. Add a handwritten card – and include “Made with Love” on the card.
🎀 A personalised, or hand crafted, coffee mug will be remembered each time it’s used over many years. (Support Australian-made if possible.)
🎀 Give a voucher for a cooking class - does Mum love Asian or French cuisine - or is she curious about Bush Food? Maybe, she'd just love to attend a chocolate appreciation event.
SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT…
🎉 Depending on where your Mum lives she may enjoy walking with a llama or alpaca, a camel ride, or to go on a horse trek.
🎉 If your Mum likes the coast, a swim with the dolphins may be just the thing she'd like to experience. Or give a voucher for whale watching for when they arrive, in a month or two.
FOR THE ‘SPORTY’ MUM!
🏃 Do you have a fit and energetic Mum? Maybe a rock-climbing voucher would be an ideal gift.
🏃 Has Mum been longingly talking about that Zumba, Line Dancing or Tap class held locally. Why not give her a voucher for a couple of dance lessons to get things started.
🏃 Make her smile with tickets to see her favourite sport – tennis, footy, golf, rugby, or motor sports. Whatever she loves...
FOR THE GARDENING MUM...
🌼 Most gardeners I know will always be happy to receive plants. Don’t know what she likes? Buy a voucher so she can choose her favourites – because every gardener will tell you that the best part is shopping to find your favourite plants! 😊
🌼 Remember, a bunch of flowers will fill her heart with love – but a living plant for her garden can keep giving her joy for many years ahead. You'll also help to encourage native bees and butterflies to visit her garden. Kids can also paint some pots to make it a very special and personal gift for their Mum.
🌼 Gather up some herb seedlings, a pretty pair of gardening gloves and a flower pot. Arrange nicely and add a ribbon to finish it off. It's a fun project for kids to put together – and a perfect gift if your Mum is a a keen gardener.
TO FINISH UP...
I hope we've inspired you with all these different ideas for "experience" gifts. And we’re happy to say that – with a little thought - they can all be organised to be 'plastic free' and Earth-friendly. 🥰
