This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all kinds of mothers — from mums and grandmas to aunties, sisters and even friends. We’ve reached out to you, our community, to tell us about the best Mother’s Day gift you’ve ever received.
Mara’s Story
“Two years ago, my daughter Kate gave me the best Mother’s Day gift — a family heritage photo book. Flipping through, I saw moments from my grandparents’ love story, special family gatherings — and even our family tree!
It was the old, faded photographs that captured my heart the most. They hold so much history — they remind me of where I come from.”
Kate says, “I just wanted to make my mum feel special. There’s nothing she loves more than family, so why wouldn’t I want to honour that?”
Helen’s Story
“Motherhood has so far been the most joyful, life-changing and humbling experience for me.
This Mother’s Day held extra magic for me as I celebrated my first year as a mum.
My best friend Emily surprised me with my first ever Mother’s Day gift — a photo blanket filled with my child’s milestones. The first smile, the six month mark — she handpicked photos I had proudly shared on social media.
It served as a gentle reminder of the challenges I’ve conquered and the blessings I’ve embraced along the journey of motherhood. When I hold it close, I’m reminded of the love that fills my life.”
Ruth’s Story
“My Mother’s Day gift from my grandchildren last year was…. beyond anything I could have imagined. Instead of the usual flowers or chocolates, they curated a gallery wall that told the story of my life — from my younger days to the present.
And now, every time I walk past it, I remember the feeling of “home”.
These stories remind us that the best Mother’s Day gifts are the ones made by you. It’s the thoughtfulness, love, and personal touch behind a gift that truly makes it one to remember. So, this Mother’s Day, take inspiration and show you your appreciation in a way that’s truly unique.
