She gifted you with the miracle of life. The least you could do is gift her something better than a half-assed voucher for Mother’s Day (which falls on Sunday, May 11th in 2025).
Whether you’re looking to spend $100 or thousands; whether your mum is outdoorsy or a homebody; and whether it’s for your actual mother or your partner – the greatest mother your children could ever ask for – we’ve got you covered.
Because this isn’t just a gift guide. This is a guide to showing her you care (and extending your residency in her good books). Check out our hand-picked selection of Mother’s Day gifts for 2025 below.
$1-$150
Butter by Asako Yuzuki
#1 Sunday Times bestseller. 2024 Waterstones Book of the Year. Universally acclaimed by the literati. But the most intriguing aspect about this cult favourite slow-burn thriller is its concept: based on a true story, it follows a female gourmet cook slash serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case. A vivid and unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, as well as the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
TheRY Comforter Compression Socks
Expecting, postpartum, jet-setting, or just for daily wear, these ultra-soft bamboo charcoal socks deliver medical-grade compression without looking like they were issued by a hospital. Essentially, it is the gift of better circulation.
Fressko Tour Flask
Hydration is key, after all. And this visually aesthetic pure infusion indulgence will go down a treat with tea lovers, fruit water aficionados, as well as smoothie sippers. Double-walled, insulated glass flask with premium 2-in-1 food grade, and a stainless steel infuser for quality brew-on-the-go functionality.
Aēsop Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser
When in doubt, Aesop it out. This one’s a gentle cleanser with a comforting cream texture that contains a blend of botanicals renowned for their purifying properties. Ideal for keeping skin nice and hydrated.
Country Road Heat Pack
As the months get colder, a heat pack can be a great way to soothe aching extremities. We like this one from Country Road, which feels less “frail old lady” and more “stylish self-care.”
Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut
Bubbly to be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. ‘Nuff said.
Olaplex Repair Hair Treatment Kit
For the mum who’s colouring her hair (all power to her), this will be the best aftercare she could ever hope for.
Trudon Solis Rex Pillar Candle
Candles are a tired gift unless you do it well. This scentless Trudon candle, of course, is an exception to the rule. A special edition number that pays tribute to Louis XIV with a handmade golden cameo ornament, it will be sure to deliver a festive energy to the room.
$151-$300
Homebodii Ultimate Luxe Robe
Ultimate by name, ultimate in comfort. This plush robe, which has been compared to a warm hug from mum herself, will keep her cosy all winter long. And it comes in a darling blush shade.
KitchenAid Attachments
For the mum who spends time creating in the kitchen using the trusty KitchenAid. Anything from pasta, zoodles (zucchini noodles), sausages, granita, and even grated cheese can be made with these.
Assouline Coffee Table Books
When it comes to gifting, you simply cannot go wrong with a stunningly luxurious coffee table book from the craftsman over at Assouline. Timeless, collectible, and chic – with close to 2,000 titles spanning countless topics, they’re as informational as they are artistic. Word to the wise: a richly photographed Le Creuset tome celebrating the cult cookware’s centenary has just been released.
La Mer Moisturising Soft Cream
The other major name in luxe anti-aging skin products (right next to La Prairie and Augustinus Bader), La Mer is a lightweight cream that restores moisture and radiance to fatigued skin, leaving it looking naturally more vibrant. Infused with restorative antioxidants and vitamins, it’ll also work to combat those frown and scowl lines you’ve no doubt contributed towards.
Babolat Boost Aero Rafa Tennis Racquet
If mum is in her tennis era (or has always been a heavy hitter on the courts), look no further than this lightweight and incredibly manoeuvrable piece of full graphite kit, which weighs just 260 grams. Perfect for recreational players looking for an excellent quality frame.
Meadowlark Jewellery
We’ve made no secret of our love for Meadowlark in previous gift guides, and this Mother’s Day, the New Zealand-based purveyors of fine jewellery are offering an entire range of connoisseur picks for the modern woman. Standouts include the Sterling Silver Faceted Letter Necklace, 23K Gold Plated Daisy Signature Hoops, and the signature Bow Ring.
New Balance 9060
A modern expression of a Y2K classic. Effortlessly stylish and built for performance. She’ll be the talk of the neighbourhood walk. Especially in the pearl grey with linen variant.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Hydro Emulsion
A lightweight moisturiser powered by Caviar Hydroessence (yep, that caviar) to support skin’s epidermal structure. It’ll drench mum’s skin with instant and lasting hydration, while fine lines and visible wrinkles appear faded – and you know how stressful it is being your mother, so give her a hand.
Intex Inflatable One-Person Challenger Kayak
Outdoorsy mums will adore this easy-to-pack down and extremely portable inflatable kayak for their aquatic adventures. Featuring adjustable and comfortable seating, a low profile that makes it great for lakes, rivers, and dams, as well as a durable vinyl construction, she’ll be able to take the joy of kayaking wherever she goes. The Intext comes with an aluminium paddle, pump, cargo net for additional storage, and a bag for the whole shebang.
$300+
Mecca Biologique Recherche Treatment
If you haven’t heard of this brand, it’s probably for good reason – Biologique Recherche is one of France’s best-kept secrets in skincare. Available now at two Mecca locations here in Australia, treat your mum to a consultation and treatment as bespoke as a good suit.
Amouage Honour Woman
A white floral fragrance inspired by the “tragic predicament” of Madame Butterfly (specifically the discourse surrounding her love). Perfect for the poetic and cultured mothers out there.
Ultrahuman Ring Air
We’ve recently climbed aboard the wearables train, which is why, for the health-conscious mum, we’re prescribing the Ultrahuman Ring Air (now available in Australia). As the world’s lightest wearable for smarter sleep, better recovery, and optimised performance with zero subscription fees, this titanium flex will help her be healthier. And who doesn’t want a healthy mother?
Prada Small Saffiano Leather Wallet
Let her make a statement with this calfskin carry. Complete with snap closure and an enamelled metal triangle logo, in our opinion, Lawn Green has to be the way to go.
RIMOWA Holiday Case
As far as travel companions go, you’ll be hard-pressed to do any better than RIMOWA’s limited-edition Holiday Case; inspired by an iconic 1988 archive design. Reliable and lightweight, this high-performance polycarbonate baby comes in three primary colourways. You can read more about it here.
Bugaboo Kangaroo Bassinet & Seat Pram
A slight change of pace from the rest of this list: for the new or expecting mother, we have the Rolls-Royce of single-to-double prams. Capable of smoothly traversing all terrains with superior comfort from birth, it’s also the first-ever tandem pram made with eco-friendly materials (including 100% durable recycled outer fabrics). How good.
Burberry Nylon Puffer Coat
For the mother incapable of even going on a grocery run without getting a ‘fit off, Burberry’s classic nylon puffer coat will be a welcome winter addition to the wardrobe. Filled with goose down and feathers, appliquéd with a tonal B shield at the sleeve, and flaunting faux fur at the detachable hood, this is foundational fashion.
Grand Seiko STGK031
The designated money-no-object pick for this Mother’s Day gift guide: a mechanical masterpiece featuring a finely textured dial inspired by the snow and early spring cherry blossoms of northern Japan. The STGK031 not only captures the delicate harmony of this but also represents Grand Seiko’s slimmest automatic timepieces to date at 10.5mm with a case diameter of just 30mm. Best of all, given the meticulous Japanese craftsmanship, it’s almost guaranteed to last a lifetime.
