Mother’s Day is fast approaching, so we’ve compiled a list of the best gifts you can give your lovely Mum! And don’t worry, some of them can be bought at the last minute if you’ve forgotten (we won’t tell!).

Feeney’s G&Tea

When it comes to liqueurs, this one is pretty timeless. But something that is also timeless is the traditional G&T. Now, my mum isn’t a huge cocktail fan, but I always remembered her pouring a gin and tonic for herself if there was a special occasion. I also remember tasting it at some point, and my face puckered up. It was disgusting. It was so…boring (sorry, Mum!). But I understood why others might like it.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, why not give your Mum the gift of Feeney’s in the form of a G and Tea? (Yes, that typo was on purpose). Feeney’s has produced a cute little cocktail recipe just for Mum (though it could be made on any day of the year for Mum!), which includes ingredients such as caramel syrup and chamomile tea! A great twist on the classic, served with ice. Check out our Instagram post to find out how to make it!

Marshmellow Boutique Memory Jar

Memories are so important to hold onto, and there are plenty of ways to keep them. But Marshmellow Boutique offers a cute little way for you to store your memories of Mum in a nifty little jar. Write down all your favourite memories of Mum, or 365 reasons why you love her (which is what I gave my now-husband after one year together), or 60 activities for you to do together (which is what I gave my Mum for Mother’s Day last year!). The opportunities are endless. Choose from four colours here.

SOMPbags

We’re huge fans of Etsy retailers. The amount of creativity in this world is astounding, so we’re always looking for ways to do shout outs for creative small business owners. SOMPBags (which stands for Seat of My Pants) creates visually stunning bags and accessories for all occasions. The colours are beautiful, and each bag has a unique canvas design. The woman behind it, Jen Kindbom, designs, cuts, and builds all SOMPbags in her home studio, which shows how passionate she is about her craft. Check out her Instagram and her Etsy store!

McCall & Green Gifts

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one with a Mum who is tough to buy for. Yes, she may say “I’m fine with just a card”, but I think we all know she secretly wants a gift too. #sneakymum

McCall & Green is a pretty interesting business. At first glance, you might just think it’s yet another company offering gift boxes. And, whilst they do offer gift boxes (ranging from $95 to $840), they offer something else, something that hasn’t been done well in a very long time. They offer personal shopping, where you can contact your very own ‘Gifter’, who will help you find the perfect gift. They also have an online shop, where you can pick and choose from individual items, which can also be found within the gift boxes. And the best part? They support White Ribbon Australia!

Glamwrap

I knew I had to include this as soon as I heard about it. Here’s the product’s backstory, straight from the mouth of its creator:

I was tired of being caught out in the cold when the weather turned, the sun had set or, most often, the air-con was set way too low.
I wanted a little piece of magic in my handbag that would save me, still look glamorous, and weighed nothing at all to carry around.
I couldn’t find anything, so I created Glamwrap Traveller and Cocoon!

Each design comes in four colours (Black, Poppy (red), Creme, and Ink Navy). Check out Glamwrap here.
