Thankfully this year’s Mothers Day is looking a little different to the last. 2021 brings more open restaurants and less lock-down laws stopping us from seeing our family.

And while some mothers will be happy just to see you this year, others may be expecting big things after 2020 totally hijacked their annual day of appreciation.
So this isn’t the time to get comfortable; get card-writing, or photo album-crafting and ensure the motherly figure in your life is getting credit for all her lovely, motherly-ness. Of course, the most fail-safe category for gift-giving is, without question, beauty.
Scroll through our top present picks and pamper mum this year with some wrinkle-banishing skin care or a salon-quality hair tool. She’ll love you for it…
Elizabeth Arden’s Ginger Lily range
What better way to mark a positive change to the year than by refreshing mum’s signature scent.
The latest scent from Elizabeth Arden includes an eau de toilette (for only $58, um, yes please) as well as an accompanying nourishing body cream.
VS Sassoon Unbound Cordless Auto Curler
Whether mum favours a tighter curl, a beachy wave or a va-va-voom spiral(with little to no technique required), it’s time to bring VS Sassoon’s latest smart styler into her routine.
And the best part? The curler functions for up to 45 minutes of cord-free use.

Serene Body Health Red Desert Perfume Oil
As we enter the cooler months, it’s time for woody, deep and warmer fragrances to take centre stage.
Pair mum’s winter wardrobe with Serene Body’s perfume oil, inspired by the Australian red desert.
Mimicking the dry, hot landscape, the perfume uses base notes of buddha wood and amyris, plus middle notes of honeysuckle.

FOREO UFO 2
It’s the duty of every son or daughter to keep their mum up to date on the latest technology.
And Foreo’s light therapy device is no exception.
Driving the ingredients of any FOREO face mask deeper into the skin, it ensures the nutrients are reaching well below the surface.

Circa Home Mimosa Mist Fragrance Diffuser
Fill mum’s home with (the smell of the 5-course meal you’re cooking her, obviously, but also) the delicate, crisp scent of powdery lavender and rosewood, courtesy of Circa Home’s diffuser.

Biologi’s BBright Skin Bundle Pack
The perfect all-in-one pack to build an effective morning and night skin care routine. Mum will love the simplicity but also the peace-of-mind this pack provides, knowing her skin is being well-cleansed, protected and nourished.

Nice ideas
Some nice gift ideas
My husband doesn't believe in Mother's Day, so I don't get gifts. Lucky I'm happy with a big hug and a Happy Mother's Day!
Nothing my Mum would want, but some cool ideas…
My mum is no longer with us, and I don't really need anything although I'm sure I'll receive a surprise or two.
I’ve got absolutely no idea what I’m going to get for my mum!!!
I’ve got absolutely no idea what to get my mum for Mother’s Day……
I really want to try that hair curler!!!
I always keep it simple – her favourite perfume, some handcream (because she has a tube in nearly every room of the house), and maybe a candle or some chocolate.
I can't wait to bless my mum this mother's day
The Foreo or Biologi BBright bundle sound amazing. Ageing and being a mum to a toddler has made my skin appear more tired and pigmented so these sound perfect!
I will probably just get my mum a perfume and a day off unwinding !
My mum would love the EA white tea body creme. It smells amazing.
I don't know when I will see my mum next, with the borders closed :((
No tight curl for me. I tried it once.
Aww, I’m sorry.
I have been thinking, I am going to get my mum a diffuser.
What do you mean?? It’s the day that mothers get appreciated!!!
Can you do a video call??
I like the look of the VS Sassoon curler for me.
All I want is to sleep in and help with the housework, thanks!
My Mum will be getting something for the garden – she's all stocked up on hand cream 🙂
hand cream must be the most popular hey, when you don't know what to buy lol
i just love having my mum and cooking for her
This was super helpful inspiration cause I have no idea and theres actually a lot of options out there
I'm bringing mum out this year for a girly day 🙂
Me too!! Hopefully you get that.
Some nice ideas here, thank you 🙂
The Biologi bundle would be nice too
I haven't been visiting as often as usual. I spent Xmas alone for the first time, but we all chatted online throughout Xmas Day.
i would love to smell this, i use to love the EA green tea range
Some beautiful ideas!!! Thank you BH 🙂
Oooo that sounds like fun!
What do you have planned?
Elizabeth Arden perfume looks good. Not a bad price either.
I love home fragrance diffuser.
I think I would like vouchers for Mother’s Day, especially ones where I can buy clothes.
I found it almost impossible to buy Mum gifts when she was alive. She wasn't into beauty products, scented candles etc.
I've reported Oliviahannah's spam.
That sounds lovely Miramarmari.
No mothers day pressies here for me to give or receive as my mum passed away almost 2 years ago and my kids just sent wishes now but I know the thought is there.
