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.

Some really nice options but for me nothing beats a spa voucher, that's what I treat my mum with <3
I usually buy myself a gift for Mother's Day as mine passed away 26 years ago. Serene Perfume Oil sounds perfect.
This will always be bitter sweet for me, the fourth Mother’s Day without my mum but the fourth with my beautiful babies. Family always means the most to me just being together and going out for a coffee or breakfast I will love. I wouldn’t mind a new bracelet I might put in a subtle request to my hubby lol 😉
Some great gifts. I've been eyeing that VS Sassoon curler for myself though.
Me too! I love craft creations!!
For Mother’s Day, I would love a sleep in and a big hug when I am up! And good all round behaviour!!
I look forward to see what my kiddies get me/make me for mother's day.
Ive no one to buy for.
I wont have my kids with me as they have all scattered to the wind but im sure they will arrange to do a zoom meeting. I dont really know what I would like for Mothers Day this year. Perhaps a spa voucher but I do have one here from Christmas that I havent had the opportunity to use yet.
We usually take mum out for lunch and she usually has her eye on a few skincare products, so I usually try to suss out what these are and get them for her.
I'm so grateful to have my mum still here after a scary period of very bad health for her, mum says it was our love that got her through X
I'll be buying her a snuggly chenille throw in plum for the day and we will celebrate with a family lunch.
I would love a voucher towards tickets to Hamilton the musical I am so excited that its in Australia.
biologi is expensive but so good!
Some great ideas for Mother's Day at least we can hug our Mothers with Covid-19 Rules relaxed a bit.
Unfortunately mine passed away many years ago, but please those who have Mother's please appreciate them every day, not just Mother's Day.
I lost Mum during the lockdown, so I'll probably visit my sisters this year.
I like the sound of the Elizabeth Arden White Tea Ginger Lily.
Mum has bought some Lancome things fo Mothers Day and I've given her the money for it but I've also bought her a diffuser, not sure what else to buy yet. This Mother's Day is the first for my husband without his Mum. I know it will be hard for him and his brother and sister this year,
I'm not into musicals but have friends that are. They have flown from the Gold Coast to Sydney to see Hamilton in a few days, They are really looking forward to it.
My mum loves having breakky withe me and my sister at a special cafe, So we'll probably do that. Have to get that special body wash strap for her.
My Mum was young when she passed away, Mothers Day now is spent with my kids and dropping hints beforehand about what great gifts I deserve.
The diffuser looks lovely, I have a few around the house. Candles are always welcome too
I'll get her J'adore because that's her favourite perfume
The cordless curler would be fantastic! We usually make my mum and mother in law lunch or dinner
The Serene perfume oil sounds lovely.
Don't have mum here any more . EA duo looks intriguing. love perfumes and great smelling body goodies =)
That’s so sad but I’m glad you have your children!
That is great to hear that she pushed through knowing you are all there to support her!
So sorry to hear that!
Did you get to visit much or not at all after the rules were relaxed a little?
That is a really good reminder!
Everyday should be cherished.
So sorry to hear that.
Aww, that’s so sad.
Stay strong and I’m happy to hear you have your beautiful children.
That sounds so lovely!
Do you do that every year?
Needed some ideas for Mother’s Day! Thanks!
This will be my fourth Mother's Day without my beautiful Mum/best friend. But glad I have my 2 children to cuddle me.
I agree!
Me too! Some of these look great!
That perfume oil sound beautiful!
Nice ideas for special gifts.
Offft my mummy would be really happy
I would be happy to receive any of these. Luckily my mum is very easy to buy for because she just wants Clarins skin care lol
Some great ideas here.
I love these ideas, especially the cordless auto curler.
I would like to try Elizabeth Arden body cream.
My mum from the UK discovered Natio on her last trip and loved it. I think she is looking forward to her next trip (whenever that may be) to stock up more than to see her loving daughter!
The Serene perfume oil sounds wonderful
I forget they are an Aussie brand.
That is an amazing gift! Hopefully you are making good progress.
Mums really hard to buy for. But the Elizabeth Arden perfume is a good idea for mother in law. I usually get her and myself a Pandora charm. I am in the middle of crocheting a poncho type thing for mum but it won’t be finished in time so the next deadline is end of June for her birthday. Hope I get it finished in time for that.
I might get my mum a voucher for mecca and a spa day
Meedee my mum has actually hinted the spa day to me already too
Some nice ideas here, thank you 🙂
Oooh I like the sound of the Red Desert perfume oil
I finally found a nice hand cream that doesn't trigger my mum's sensitivities. Want to buy her a truckload now because she's so happy with it.
