Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching, and finding the perfect gift for mum isn’t always easy – especially in comparison to how much she’s done for us. Even with tight schedules or budgets this year, there are still so many ways we can make her feel loved and appreciated this Mother’s Day.

Cook a special meal

Instead of eating out, making mum’s favourite meal is always a winner. Put together a special Mother’s Day brunch with homemade pancakes, fresh fruit and coffee from Bakers Delight or Fruitworld. If you’re out of time to make one, you can always find her favourite cakes or pastries at Poles. Serve it with some fresh flowers from The Flower Shop for an extra special touch.

Gift her some downtime

The best thing you can give a busy mum is a chance to relax with some well-deserved self-care time. Set up a relaxing bath some calming music and find some essential oils and candles from About Me Organic. Consider a face mask or under-eye gels from Kmart.

 Put it in writing

Sometimes, the best way to say “I love you” is by saying exactly that. Write a letter about your favourite memories together on special paper and stationery from The Reject Shop. You could even make a list of all the little things she’s done that you’re grateful for.  If writing isn’t easy, at least finding the right card is, with a full range of Mother’s Day cards available in-centre at Nextra Newsagent.
