For the mum who really needs a coffee

If your mum is blessed with an irreverent sense of humour, but also doesn’t stand for any of your carry-on, show her you love those qualities with a cheeky mood mug that sums it all up. (PS get her something nice, too, or she’ll call you out for the cheapskate that you are.) $16.95
Let Mum zen out from time to time

Mums need to take their moments of quiet contemplation whenever they can get ‘em… and what better way to do it than by gazing dreamily into this vibrant wind spinner, the seven glass orbs catching and reflecting the sun as they twist in the breeze. Sigh. Ok, back to the laundry pile. $29.95
Give her stories for a lifetime

Bestow upon your beloved mother figure a Reader’s Digest subscription, and you’ll give the ultimate gift that keeps on giving, with a monthly dose of drama, heart-warming tales, humour and brainteasers delivered to her doorstep. Better still, you will solve that time-honoured enigma, “Is that magazine still going?!” Yep… and better than ever!
