We all know mums deserve to be celebrated every day, but why not let her know how special she is this Mother’s Day!
Sunday, May 9th, is just one of the many opportunities you get to show her how much she means to you. With the pressure on to find the best mothers day gift, here’s a list of ideas for every type of mum.
Gift ideas for mums that are hard to buy for
Whether it’s because she has a particular taste or already got everything she needs, some mum’s are just harder to buy for. If you find yourself struggling to show your mum how much you care this mother’s day, don’t stress - you’re not alone.
Take her out to dinner
A fancy dinner out is the ideal backdrop for a meaningful conversation with your mum. It’ll never replace all the home-cooked meals she’s made over the years, but it’s a start! Intentionality is essential with a gift like this. Consider writing a list of all the things you’re thankful for when it comes to your mum, and at some point during the night, take the time to tell her; she’ll love it. A bunch of her favourite flowers wouldn’t go astray either!
Give her an experience she’ll never forget
If your mum already has everything she needs, get her something you know she wants more of - quality time with you! Experiences can be a thoughtful mother’s day gift that you can both do together. For mum’s who enjoy a bit of adventure, take them on a hot air balloon ride or a horse-riding tour for two. For mum’s who like to be pampered, consider taking her on a weekend spa retreat or treating her to sparkling high tea.

Give her the gift of choice
If your mum is picky when it comes to gifts, a gift card could be the best option for you this Mother’s Day. Gift Cards are a great way to give them the freedom to pick what they like while also showing them that you care. Upgrade your Mum’s skin and hair care routine with a Sephora gift card or pay for her next trip away with a digital Webjet gift card.
Cashrewards has a large selection of gift cards to choose from, and by purchasing them online, you can get the digital card sent to her directly.
