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.
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 breakfast person? Try Greenhouse Cafe. A smashed avocado toast enthusiast? Go for Caffe Cherry Beans. 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.
A classic bouquet is always a winner! Pair her blooms with a vase from David Jones or quality homewares from Coco Republic. 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.
Fact: The best Mother’s Day memories are made around the table. Whether she loves a relaxed family lunch or an elegant dinner, treating her to a meal out is an easy way to make her feel celebrated. From laid-back burger joints like Betty's Burgers to elegant banquets at Compa, Canberra Centre has something for every taste.
Every mum deserves downtime, and a spa day is the perfect way to deliver it. Whether it’s a facial treatment at Rationale, a blissful massage at Endota Spa, or explore a world of beauty services offered at MECCA, a beauty voucher lets her choose her perfect pampering experience. (The real gift? Time to pause, reset, and feel her best.)
If she’s the type who loves an activity-packed day, why not go all out? A trip to Dendy cinema, a few rounds of bowling at Kingpin, or a mini golf at Holey Moley – whatever her idea of fun, make it happen. After all, she’s always said the best part of any day is making memories together.
