Mother’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re anything like us, you’ll start planning in advance so you can get your mum, grandmother and/or mother-figure that perfect gift this Sunday 8th of May! If you’re stuck, here are a few of our favourite suggestions.

For the craftie mums…

Is your mum dreaming of candles? Painting? Embroidery? Turn those dreams into a reality with ClassBento‘s collection of locally-run classes! You and your mum can choose from everything from mosiac classes to unique lampshade making.

For the foodie mums…

You can’t go wrong with TRUFF’s Black Truffle Oil – delicate yet full of flavour, great on everything from pasta to popcorn. Speaking of pasta, TRUFF also does a Black Truffle Pasta Sauce combo. My mum loved the freshness of the sauce and subtlety of the truffle, and I loved that it was vegan and preservative-free. Highly recommend!

For the mums who like their GnT’s…

Consider Aviation Gin, a Western-style gin from Portland, Oregon, co-owned by none other than Ryan Reynolds. If your mum loved him in The Proposal, there’s a high chance she’ll love his flavourful, smooth gin too. Think citrus and lavender notes that pair perfectly with lime and elderflower.

For the mums who like it all…

Can’t go wrong with a hamper! The Good Day People have got you covered there – they’ve even got a ‘For Her’ collection you can view. My mum loves keeping it simple, so this year I’ll be getting her ‘Soulful Sally’. Don’t tell her – it’s meant to be a surprise.
