In case you’ve forgotten (tbh, we almost did!) this Sunday, May 12 is Mother’s Day here in Australia. So we’ve done some of the hard work for you and rounded up a bunch of gifts that your mum/parent/guardian/sister would love.

A Fancy Candle

A candle is a great gift because they last for ages – this particular candle should burn for around 80 hours – and they smell delicious! When choosing a candle, make sure to pick a fragrance that your parent would like as everyone’s tastes are different. The scent of this particular candle is seriously uplifting and fresh thanks to the addition of jasmine and sweet pea.

We reckon that your parent wouldn’t buy a luxe hand cream for themselves but they would love to receive one as a gift. Aesop makes the nicest smelling/feeling hand creams in the world – they are seriously worth the money.

Essential oils are super popular right now and this little machine diffuses them into the air. You simply add water and a few drops of your fave essential oil like lavender and soon you’ll be enjoying the smell. Diffusers are great for relaxation and we can bet that every parent needs a bit of that!

Sometimes you just don’t know what to buy for your parent so a gift card is a great option. You can grab a voucher from places like Mecca, The Daily Edited, IKEA, Bunnings or Country Road – these are just some suggestions, the options are endless.
