20 Gifts for Mother’s Day and Where to Buy Them

So how do you say thank you to someone so important?

Mother’s Day gift giving takes some serious thought, but we know you that in today’s busy world not everyone has a lot of spare time. That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you.

Here are our top picks for spoiling mum this Mother’s Day.

1.  Manicure
A manicure will improve the texture and health of your mum’s fingernails and skin appearance, leaving them looking polished and fabulous. Massaging the hand’s pressure points can be fabulously relaxing, and best of all every time she looks at her shiny nails she’ll be reminded of how much you love her.

Book your mum a manicure at VIP Nails or Fashionails now.

2.  Perfume
What mum doesn’t love a beautiful fragrance? Everyone wants to smell nice and you can bet Mum’s favourite scent will be available from Chempro Chemist.

3.  Jewellery
A beautiful bracelet is one of the best way to say thanks to mum on Mother’s Day, as every time she wears it she will be reminded of how much you love her. Saltwater Silver offers a stunning collection of jewellery inspired by the Gold Coast’s endless summer, and each piece is unique and handmade by local designer Sarah Roth. As well as bracelets she offers earrings, rings and necklaces to suit all tastes.

4.  Clothing
Ritzi offers a range of ladies clothing and accessories for the young at heart, and the not so young at heart. If your mum’s style is relaxed and comfortable, you’ll find something she loves here.

Hint: Take a picture of your mum with you and show it to Jill and her friendly staff, and they’ll help you pick something perfect to suit your mum’s colouring!

5.  A new style
Think mum could do with a new do? Send her off to the team at Marcus Edward Salon or Vibe Hair and not only will she enjoy a few hours of pampering, she’ll walk out feeling like a brand new woman. The team at Marcus Edward Salon are the transformation experts and they love nothing better than a good hair makeover. Hand picked by Marcus Edward, they are some of the best stylists in Australia. 

6.  Towel
Knotty towels are bang on trend, and the Dept. of Swim has a great collection of them. A towel is a practical item that’s also a thing of beauty when the right design is chosen, so be sure to check the collection out. While you’re at it, take a look at the excellent range of resort wear. 

7.  Facial
Facials offer many benefits and can be hugely relaxing for mum. A facial increases circulation of the blood under the skin, allowing the skin optimal health for cell regeneration. A good facial can help smooth fine lines and promote collagen production – the building block of the skin. Facials can also slow the ageing process and allow skin to feel smoother, more supple, and radiant.

Give mum a fresh start and book her a facial at Esteem Medi Spa.

8.  Tablet case
If you can’t afford to buy your mum a new tablet, you can at least buy her a tablet case for the one she’s already got. The range of tablet and phone accessories found at mySCREEN gives you plenty of options for personalising your mum’s digital journey, so whether you’re after urban chic, hipster or a bit of bling, you’ll be able to match a case to your mums personality.

9.  Scarf
Esteem’s Boutique is a family-owned women’s clothing store that offers stylish, affordable clothing for sizes 8 to 20. But buying clothes for someone else can be difficult, so start simple and purchase Mum a scarf. Esteem’s Splash Scarf offers beautiful Autumn colours for a splash of vibrancy and Mum is sure to love it.

10. Stationery
While it might have been a while since you picked up a pen and paper, chances are your mum is still happy to pen a letter or two. To do this she needs beautiful stationery, such as the stationery found at Nic Nax Discount Variety. You’ll also find scented candles, paintings, cushions, crockery and more.

11.  Framed photo
Have a beautiful photo of the two of you that you’ve yet to do anything with? Visit The Cabin Store, Abode Interiors & Styling or Salt Living and pick up a gorgeous frame for your mum to showcase. 

12.  Weekend away
Pop your head in at Tripaway Cruise and Travel and talk to the team about somewhere special you can take mum. Why not take her to enjoy Gallery Walk and surrounds up on Mount Tamborine? Or perhaps she’d prefer to take in a show in Brisbane? Whichever your destination choice, their experienced team will help you find the best deal.
