The ultimate guide to unexpected Mother's Day gifts

In the lead up to Mother's Day we all like to grill mum on what she might like. Often we're greeted with something along the lines of "just happy kids." But really, this isn't much help when we're scrambling for ideas the night before!

Not to worry though, with everything from thrilling experiences to luxury essentials, we’ve nailed down the best gifts for mum so you can give back to her come Mother’s Day.

Give the gift of luxury sound

Air Live Wireless Bluetooth Speakers and Powerbank
Apart from the gorgeous rose gold hue, this nifty hi-tech Bluetooth speaker will fit snugly into mum's clutch bag and can also power up her phone.

It has two five-watt speakers inside, is crafted with vegan leather and brushed aluminium, and is conferencing compatible — there's not much more mum could want out of this gadget!

Give Mum a little more

Instant Scratch-Its

Go the extra mile this Mother's Day and tuck an Instant Scratch-Its into mum's card as an epic surprise! From $2 Pearly Riches and $5 Luxe Riches, as well as $5 Live The Life Instant Scratch-Its, there's something for every mum — especially those that love a bit of excitement.

So, give the gift that (could) keep on giving this May! Fingers crossed for a chance to win big — you never know, mum might share her luck with you too.  

Give the gift of memories

Memory Blocks

Not to sound too clichéd, but we've never met a mum who doesn't love showing off pictures of her kids!

Memory blocks are a clever and creative way to present precious photos of family and friends. You simply send your photos via the website or at one of their many kiosks and the team print your photos onto wooden or bamboo blocks.

There are various shapes and sizes available and the blocks are solar proof and waterproof for memories that last.

Give the gift of luxury travel

A personalised jewellery case like this from TDE

If your mum loves to keep her accessories on hand when she travels, give her one of these divine and personalised jewellery cases for all her beloved baubles. Choose from a selection of different leather colours and have your case monogrammed on the spot with mum's initials (very chic).

Give the gift of adrenalin

Prancing Horse Driving Experience

If budget isn't a problem and your mum is a bit of a daredevil and luxury lover all rolled into one, the experiences from Prancing Horse are out of this world. They offer exciting and thrilling itineraries with luxury supercars, helicopter rides and five-star stays across the country.
