IDEAS THAT DON’ T COST A CENT
“ The most powerful way you can let your mum know how much she is appreciated and loved is through something that doesn’ t cost you anything – words of affirmation,” suggests Alissa. You could also:
• Lend a hand with chores or errands so she can rest
• Give her your full attention – listen, laugh, be present
• Plan a simple outing or cosy night in together
• Cook her dinner( and do the dishes afterwards)

“

Instead of trying to find something big or impressive, focus on one thoughtful idea that genuinely suits her lifestyle.”
Need inspo? If your mum is a foodie, partner a beautiful board with a cheese knife, and some gourmet crackers, nuts and dark chocolate, to make it a delicious moment. Does she love sipping a cheeky margarita? Put together a cocktail shaker, two glasses, a bottle of tequila, fresh limes and a printed recipe. She might even invite you over for a tipple.
Last-minute picks
If you’ re very late doing your shopping, don’ t worry – we’ ve all been there.
“ Instead of trying to find something big or impressive, focus on one thoughtful idea that genuinely suits her lifestyle,” Emma suggests.“ A gift that supports her everyday routines or gives her a small moment to herself will always feel more meaningful.”
It’ s not about what you buy or how much you spend, rather it’ s about recognition.“ Our relationships are nurtured by how much effort we put in and how much care we show,” says Carly,“ and the relationship with our mum is no different.”
Whether it’ s a gift, a shared ritual or simply showing up, the impact lasts well beyond the day itself. As Kerry notes:“ The most meaningful part is feeling seen and acknowledged. That’ s what really stays with a mum.”
