MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE | THE BASE

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll be celebrating mum, grandma, partner, or special mother figure in your life. Finding a gift that truly says “thank you” can feel overwhelming. So, before you hit the shops, take a minute to think about her interests and the little luxuries she loves but doesn’t buy for herself. Whether she’s a trendsetter, loves to be spoiled, or insists that you don’t get her anything, The Base will have something to make her feel truly special!  

If you have a mum that secretly loves to be spoiled.. now’s the time to really make her feel special! Mark the occasion with a gorgeous charm from Pandora’s Garden of Dreams collection. Georgio Amani’s Si is a classy and timeless fragrance that she’ll love, available at Chemist Warehouse. Set her up for a comfortable winter with a cosy robe from Bras N Things. LUSH’s has a range of Mother’s Day limited edition yummies – our favourite is MUM gift set! Farmers have the latest Glasshouse Fragrance range, and mum will love the new Radiance in Bloom Candle. An elegant watch from Sense & Wonder is the perfect elevated gift option for making her feel spoiled.

We’ve all heard it before.. “Don’t get me anything”. But it’s probably not the first time you’re not going to listen. Here’s some options for the mum that insists on not getting her anything. Sometimes the best present is presence. Take her out for a Mother’s Day brunch at Modita, where they have the most gorgeous food to treat mum. Or if you can’t be together on Mother’s Day, buy her a voucher for brunch date later in the year. For our Aotearoa proud mums, a gorgeous pounamu pendant from Walker & Hall or paua bangle from Acquisitions will be a meaningful and heartfelt gift. Help her slow down and take time for herself this year with a Wellness Journal from Whitcoulls. Macpac stock the Yeti range which has a variety of gorgeous coloured drink bottles and flasks. Perfect for Saturday morning sports or early morning adventures! Help her elevate her home with a new throw from Adairs or diffuser from Briscoes. If she loves to host and doing so with gorgeous serve wear, these cocktail glasses from Max will be a hit!
