Unique Mother’s Day gift ideas she will absolutely love.
While Mother’s Day grows nearer, you might be racking your brain for an amazing gift idea to really show your appreciation and snag that number one child spot.
Though it may almost feel impossible to find a gift truly worthy of such a Mum or special lady as yours, we’re going to try anyway.
We’ve decided a floral candle or a cliche pair of slippers just aren’t going to cut it this year – it’s time to up the ante. Try these cracking gift ideas on for size.
Great Temptations Sweet Treats
You might have seen the pink heart logo in your local store before, and you’d definitely know it if you’ve tried one of their hand-baked treats. Do Mother’s Day afternoon tea in style with the help of Great Temptations Sweet Treats.
What are they made with? Fresh ingredients and a whole lotta love – the perfect combo!
Whether she’s a brownie lady, cupcake fan, slice lover or gluten-free eater, there’s a pack of treats she’ll adore. And really, they should know what Mum’s going to love – owner Carl took all his inspiration from baking sweet treats at home with his Mum June, whose traditional recipes are at the heart of all products.
Browse their whole range online and choose from moist brownies, delicious cupcakes and caramel slices, or find your local Great Temptations stockist.
The Black Truffle
Gift her everything her foodie heart desires with a picnic hamper or grazing box from The Black Truffle.
Their spot in North Fremantle is packed to the brim with bold, colourful flavours in everything from soft cheeses to sweet treats. The picnic hampers are designed for two, featuring locally sourced gourmet goodies and house-made eats for the perfect Mother’s Day lunch or mid-morning brunch.
Spoil her with Summer Sunsets packed with savoury flavours found in items like roasted garlic hummus, locally-made artisan mix olives and dukkah-crusted chicken tenders with lemon aioli. Go for morning glory with bacon tarts and smoked salmon cream cheese bagels in Breakfast By the Beach. OR, opt for Gourmet Delights – a three-course feast similar to Summer Sunsets, just bigger and better with some added sweet bites.
The best part? You can enjoy it together. Scout out one of the best picnic spots around Perth and set up for an afternoon food coma under the sun.
If picnics aren’t your vibe for the day, just grab Mum a grazing box. You’ll still get all the delicious antipasto goodies, and they’re packed in an environmentally friendly platter- big tick!

House Of Hobby
Whether your Mum is a creative genius or lacks any sort of creative bone in her body, she will love the fun artsy workshops House of Hobby has going on.
Learn some pottery skills, splash around with watercolours, decorate plant pots – there is an endless list of workshops you can both enjoy together for some seriously good bonding time.
Their highly popular Mothers Day workshop offerings this year include pottery painting & sip at Henry Summer, paint pouring & prosecco, and watercolour & wine – blooms and botanicals edition. How can we even choose just one to attend?
You can book any of their workshops on their website, or grab a gift voucher while you’re there so Mum can choose her own.
Republic of Fremantle gin
If Mum’s totally obsessed with gin, here’s a gift to help you take out the title of favourite child.
Republic of Fremantle is a delightful craft distillery sitting in the heart of Freo’s historic west end, and this Mother’s Day they’ve whipped up something pretty special.
You can show her the love with their Gin + Glassware Gift Set, which includes their famous silky-smooth Full Bodied Gin for her to enjoy alongside two fine designer glasses by NUDE. Top it all off with a little personalised gift card and you’ll be crowned number one in no time.
A weighted blanket
Sometimes Mum needs a really good nap – or just a decent snooze at night – and a weighted blanket is just the warm, cosy hug needed to get there.
The added pressure had a soothing sensation, helping to ease stress and improve sleep. Just what the doctor ordered.
You can usually find them at places like Big W, Adairs, Spotlight or even Kmart, or you can order a bundle online at Calming Blankets.
Some luxurious skincare
Given all the hard work she does, Mum deserves a little self-care moment.
We’d recommend the luxury body oils from Nina Bailey that you’ll find at Cafe Collective in Garden City or Karrinyup or the nourishing facial oil from Pigeonhole. If you want to step it up a notch and really take the pampering to another level, then book her in for some skin rejuvenation at The Lime Tree Clinic or a facial at Lush Skin and Body.
An adrenaline-filled experience
Find a gift absolutely guaranteed to knock her socks off.
Trusty old Red Balloon has a range of adrenaline-pumping, daredevil gift ideas that she won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Think flying adventures like a tandem skydive over Rotto, a hot air balloon over the Avon Valley, or a hands-on flight trial with aerobatics.
A guilt-free sweet treat
Maybe she’s on a health kick, or maybe she’s vegan, gluten-free, vego, dairy-free- you name it, Crunchbox has the answer.
Their healthy plant-based dessert treats delivered right to your door might just turn even the non-vegans, and are carefully handmade from scratch with love. We’d suggest going all out with a gift box like the chocolate lovers, mixed style platter, or peanut butter fanatic.
