My Favourite Wellness Gifts for Mother’s Day.
Mother’s should be celebrated everyday of the year! They are the heroes that keep it all together. The multitaskers who juggle it all and often put their own needs aside to take care of the people around them. If you have ever said, “What would I do without my Mum?” then you are indeed fortunate!
While not all of us are fortunate to have our Mother’s with us, there are some incredible Women out there who nurture, love, and care for others with warm maternal tenderness. They also deserve a special thanks, don’t you think?
We are all for wellness, and this year, I compiled a small list of some of my favourite gift ideas to celebrate that special maternal figure in your life. Something that really says, “Thank-you, you deserve this.” A treat that would show how much Mum means to you. And best of all, they are all small Australian, women owned businesses with unique and beautiful products that are sure to enrich your Mum’s wellbeing.

Why we love it: Picture this, long hot soaks in the tub, unwinding after a workout or a long walk. Relaxing your body and resting. This is self care!
