Mother's Day in Australia falls on the second Sunday of May, which means you've got no excuse not to be prepared. We've put together thoughtful gift ideas Mum will actually love, from pampering and self-care picks to unique homewares and personalised gifts. Because she deserves more than a rushed bunch of servos flowers and a card you signed in the car park.
Three tiny stone-faced characters with the confidence of ancient monuments and the expressions of blokes waiting for the barbecue to start. Great for gardens, patios, desks, shelves or anywhere that needs a little weirdness.
Squeeze this wide-eyed cat and watch its eyeballs make a dramatic escape. A funny little stress toy for desks, study sessions, road trips or anyone who’s one email away from needing a proper squish.
Part sea lion, part mastiff, and completely committed to looking confused. This wonderfully odd animal figurine makes a fun toy, desk companion or conversation starter for dog lovers and collectors.
A 1000-piece puzzle made almost entirely from tangled black lines. Perfect for patient puzzle lovers, stubborn overachievers and anyone who thinks ordinary jigsaws are far too relaxing.
A handy desk coffee warmer for anyone who makes a cuppa, gets distracted, then returns to disappointment. Great for home offices, work desks and slow sippers everywhere.
A cheeky diet coke soda-can candle that smells like fizzy cola and looks like it belongs in the fridge. Fun for desks, shelves, bedrooms and anyone who enjoys home decor with a wink.
A serious coffee machine for the person who treats their morning brew like a daily ritual. Great for espresso lovers, latte fans and anyone ready to upgrade from “that’ll do” coffee.
A pair of chicken feet socks that make ordinary ankles look completely unhinged. Great for party outfits, lazy costume days, gag gifts or anyone who enjoys walking around like a backyard menace.
A banana-shaped octopus figurine that makes absolutely no sense, which is exactly why it works. Perfect for desks, shelves, home offices or anyone who likes their decor a bit unhinged.
