Gifting For The Women Who Shape Us
There's something special about a gift that really lands. Not the expected, easy choice, but the one that shows you were paying attention. The one she unwraps and thinks, yes, this is exactly me.
We teamed up with Marie Claire Australia to find out what stylish mums are actually hoping for this Mother's Day, and here's the scoop: thoughtful over extravagant, wearable over occasion-only, pieces that slip seamlessly into everyday life and get reached for again and again.
Whether you're gifting your own mum, a mother figure, a mum friend, or even treating yourself, we've curated the edit.
The Always-On-The-Go
Her calendar runs three weeks ahead and her bag is essentially a carry-on. She appreciates practical things, but that doesn't mean boring. It means thoughtful. Think a fresh pair of sneakers she'll reach for every single day, a stylish drink bottle because hydration is key, or an oversized shirt that works just as hard as she does. Pieces that keep up with her pace and look great doing it.

"A few years ago for Mother's Day, I gave mum the You Got This shirt. She's bought it in two more colours since, which kind of says it all." Geo, Brand & Growth Strategist, Flo & Frankie
The Homebody
Her home is the place everyone ends up. The candle lit, the table beautifully set, the bubbles on ice. She gravitates toward things that are considered, comfortable, and quietly beautiful. Think a soy candle that makes her space feel instantly more her, a soft knit cardigan she'll throw on every weekend, or a delicate gold necklace she'll never take off. Gift her the pieces that feed that calm, collected energy.

"Hosting is mum's love language. These are the pieces I'd give her because they're the things that make her happiest." Ruby, Buying Strategy Manager, Flo & Frankie
The Fashion-Forward
She has an eye for the difference between trending and timeless, and a gift that matches that instinct will always land well. Think a statement bag that goes with everything but never blends in, a pair of sunglasses that finish every outfit, or a maxi dress that feels as good as it looks. This is the mum with a mental treat-yourself list of things she'd never quite justify buying on her own. This is your moment.

"I have a ‘treat yourself’ wish list of things I feel too guilty to buy for myself. These include all the ‘finer things’ and this year it’s a new handbag. One that makes a statement, yet it still practical for the day-to-day necessities as a mum.” Dani Marie Claire
