Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to shower the mother figure in your life (whether it’s your mother, father, or a close friend) with appreciation. While there are plenty of meaningful options that will be treasured for a lifetime that don’t involve any monetary spend (love notes, handmade cards, acts of kindness, etc), we’ve also compiled a list of thoughtful gifts designed to shower your special person with happiness and delight.
The Beauty Chef Glowing Skin Ritual Kit, $109
Embrace both your inner and outer beauty and share The Gift Of Glow with the perfect pairing of The Beauty Chef Glow Inner Beauty Essential and Collagen Inner Beauty Boost – both with a delicious, berry flavour. This thoughtful set of self-care essentials for gut health and glowing skin can be taken together or apart. Glow Inner Beauty is a daily beauty powder for radiant skin and gut health (with 18 certified organic wholefoods), and Collagen Inner Beauty Boost is a bio-fermented probiotic vegan collagen drink with Vitamin C.
Belkin Soundform Immerse Noise Cancelling Earbuds, $349.95
For the dancing queen of the house, this gift of audio immersion is the ultimate tech gift. Dual beamforming technology helps reduce environmental noise and provides audio clarity on calls. In-built intuitive touch controls in both earbuds allow users to tap, skip tracks, answer calls, and more. With a battery life of 38 hours, three touch-controllable presets for personalised sound and fast USB-C charging, the Immerse earbuds also have in-built IPX5-rated sweat and water-resistant technology so they can accompany mum everywhere.
Blunt X Wallace Cotton Hydrangea Umbrella, $149

Featuring beautiful hydrangea blooms in deep green and blues, it’s the perfect gift for Mother’s Day that you can guarantee will be used, appreciated, and admired as we head steadily closer to winter months.
Home appliances are often considered a ‘no-no’ when it comes to gifting, but this robotic Ecovacs Winbot W1 Pro is quite possibly the exception to the rule. Say hello to the joy of spotless windows, with a clever window cleaning robot doing all the hard work. Newly launched in New Zealand, the Ecovacs Robotics Winbot is already looking to be a hot-ticket item, continuing the world leading service robotics brand’s history of delivering time-saving robots for everyday convenience. The unit auto-sprays as it climbs and manages frameless windows (such as the shower). Yes please!
