Easy Ways to Make Mother’s Day Feel Extra Special

Looking for a Mother’s Day experience? We’ve thought of every mum.

Every mum is different, and that’s exactly what makes Mother’s Day so special. Maybe the mother figure in your life is the type who loves a slow morning with coffee in bed, or perhaps she’s all about getting dressed up and heading out for brunch. No two mums are the same, so no two Mother’s Days should be either.

 

The good news? There are endless ways to make her feel appreciated. However you choose to celebrate, we’ve rounded up ideas to make her day one to remember. Whether she’s into indulgent dining, pampering treats, or making memories with the people she loves, there’s something for every kind of mum. Here’s how to make this Mother’s Day her best one yet.

A Toast to Mum (With Mimosas, Of Course)

Brunch is practically a Mother’s Day tradition, and for good reason. Nothing says ‘celebration’ like an indulgent menu and a glass of something bubbly. Is she a pancake person? Try The Coffee Club. A smashed avocado toast enthusiast? Go for Stellarossa. Whatever she likes, there’s a spot with her name on it. Find the perfect place and make a reservation – no cooking, no dishes, just great food and better company.

Flowers, But Make It Fun

A classic bouquet is always a winner, but why not add a playful twist? Pair her blooms from Woolworths with something fun – like a funky-shaped vase from Nextra – for a gift she’ll love long after the flowers fade. Make the gift even more special by choosing flowers with a personal connection – like her birth month flower, a mix of her favourites, or a variety that brings back a cherished memory.

The Self-Care She Deserves

Every mum deserves downtime, and a spa day is the perfect way to deliver it. Whether it’s a mani-pedi at Australian Nails, a blissful massage at Vermillion Massage, or a full-on relaxation session at Forest Nails & Spa, a beauty voucher lets her choose her perfect pampering experience. (The real gift? Time to pause, reset, and feel her best.)

A Sweet Start to a Special Day

A little extra effort in the morning goes a long way. Think: Golden croissants, fresh berries and barista-style coffee from The Coffee Club, Figtree Bake House and Lakeside Fruit Barn – simple touches that feel like a treat. Elevate the experience with a beautiful tray, elegant glassware, and a sprinkle of creativity. (Using cookie cutters from Kmart to turn homemade pancakes into flowers might be the easiest Mother’s Day brunch hack ever.) Find all you need to make your mum’s morning special at Forest Lake Shopping Centre.

 

Be it a thoughtful gift, a long, leisurely brekkie in bed, or an adventure-packed day out, this Mother’s Day is all about celebrating your mum in a way that feels true to her.
