Gift ideas for Mum
Not sure where to start? Before diving into the deals, it's worth thinking about what kind of gift you're actually going for.
Something she'd never buy herself. The best Mother's Day gifts are often things mum would consider an unnecessary indulgence. If she's been talking about something and quietly dismissing it as too expensive, that's usually the answer.
An experience over a thing. It could be a day out, a class, or a weekend away: experiences tend to stick with us longer than objects.
If you're drawing a blank on what she'd want, giving her the choice (a cooking class, spa day, adventure experience) is a thoughtful fallback.
Something practical, framed thoughtfully. The classic Mother's Day complaint is getting a vacuum cleaner as a gift. But you can reframe the idea: if she's been dealing with a clunky, outdated appliance and you're upgrading it to something that makes the task easier, that can land well. Just make sure the intent is obvious before you swipe the credit card.
Something that's clearly for her, not the house. If mum's the one who usually buys things for the household, lean into something that's unmistakably hers. That might be earbuds, a fitness tracker, a book you know she'll love, or a comfortable piece of furniture she'd pick herself.
A gift under $50 that shows effort. Price isn't everything, you know. A curated gift box or a small accessory she'd use every day can land better than an expensive item that misses the mark.
When is Mother's Day 2026?
Mother's Day in Australia is the second Sunday of May each year. In 2026, that's Sunday, 10 May.
For reference, here's when it falls in upcoming years:
- 2026: Sunday, 10 May
- 2027: Sunday, 9 May
- 2028: Sunday, 14 May
When do Mother's Day sales start?
Most retailers kick off in mid to late April, with the main window running to Mother's Day itself. A handful of sales extend past 10 May — some coupon codes stay valid until mid-May, so it's worth bookmarking this page if you're not ready to buy yet.
If you need something delivered, aim to order by 7 May to be safe.
How to shop Mother's Day sales without getting burned
Verify the "was" price. Some retailers inflate the original price before applying a discount. A quick Google Shopping search will show you what something has actually been selling for.
Check the return policy. Mother's Day gifts are often bought a week or two in advance. Make sure the retailer will accept a return or exchange after 10 May if something isn't right.
Don't leave it too late. Delivery windows are tight around Mother's Day. If you're buying from a smaller retailer or ordering something that ships from overseas, the cut-off is earlier than you think. Most major Australian retailers need orders by 7 May for guaranteed delivery by the 10th.
