Whether you’re celebrating your own much-loved mum, a mother figure, a mum-to-be or even if you’re a mama yourself, Mother’s Day is a day to say – and give – thanks. For those who celebrate it’s the perfect time to treat her to something a little special, especially as mums are notoriously remiss when it comes to honouring themselves at any time of year.
Read on for the first instalment of gifting ideas that caught my eye, many of which also serve as a massive hint to my own whānau of what I’d like to wake up to this Sunday, May 11!
For the beauty aficionado: Maison Crivelli Safran Secret Extrait de Parfum
A true beauty freak will know the cult
Maison Crivelli brand well. It was created with the aim of surprising people with mixed, daring olfactory creations that defy conventions and stand out from the classics, and each proudly unique fragrance encapsulates adventures experienced by the brand's founder, Thibaud Crivelli. A challenge to the ordinary and an invitation to explore new sensory frontiers, I personally can’t get enough of Maison Crivelli, and Safran Secret was created as the sensory reflection of a mysterious adventure lived by Thibaud Crivelli during which he discovered a saffron field shrouded in a very thick fog. This deep, sensual composition is captivating, with the brightness of a comforting saffron contrasted with the opacity of warm and highly-diffusive woods.
For the mama to be: the Pure Mama Belly Spa Set
Carefully curated for expectant mothers, this luxurious kit from local phenomenon
Pure Mama is designed to offer a moment of pause in a world that rarely slows down. Featuring the luxurious Bump Scrub for gentle exfoliation, the cult-favourite Belly Oil (aka ‘liquid gold’), and a set of three cotton Belly Hydration Masks, it’s the perfect ritual to hydrate, soften, and celebrate a changing body. Wrapped in the warm embrace of botanical blends and naturally derived ingredients, the Belly Spa Kit offers more than skincare, it’s a celebration of self-love, ritual, and the incredible transformation that is motherhood. Whether you're gifting a mama-to-be or treating yourself, this set is the ultimate reminder: you deserve care, connection, and a little spa magic.
For the lover of a seriously great hair moment: the Dyson Airwrap i.d. in Jasper Plum
The OG multi-styler that can be found in every hair tool obsessive’s bathroom, the Dyson Airwrap is a modern beauty legend. Available in limited edition
Jasper Plum especially for Mother’s Day, it lets you effortlessly create salon-worthy styles at home and now comes with Bluetooth capabilities as well as two new attachments: a Conical barrel for seamless waves and a Wave+Curl diffuser to enhance natural curls.
For the fine fragrance lover: Dries Van Noten Camomille Satin Eau de Parfum
Described as “the extreme addiction of vanilla bean, coloured by the bucolic charm of chamomile” by perfumers Julien Rasquinet and Paul Guerlain, the sublime
Camomille Satin reimagines the iconic wildflower’s soft innocence by dousing it with the gourmand and leathery facets of vanilla. In an instant, the bucolic day flower shifts to night mode. Also of note is the bottle, which elegantly brings together powder pink glass and brushed metal covered in a gold brocade-inspired pattern. She will love!
For the passionate foodie: the Le Creuset Cast Iron Heart Shaped Casserole with Heart Knob
Crafted with love, this iconic piece is an ideal gift to mark Mother's Day, and given the provenance of the brand, will be loved for an eternity. The sweet heart shape is daringly different from the other pieces in the cast iron collection, but its functionality remains the same. Its cast iron construction heats evenly for mouth-watering flavours, and keeps food warmer for longer when being shown off at the table.
For the self-care lover: East Day Spa and Spring Spa vouchers
Award-winning
East Day Spa and its sister spa,
Spring Spa have just unveiled a menu of beautiful treatments crafted especially with mothers, mothers-to-be and mother figures in mind, with elevated manicure experiences, transformative facials and traditional massage all included in the offering. The perfect way to honour those who celebrate, both East Day Spa and Spring Spa also offer super chic vouchers created in house just for Mother’s Day 2025 – allowing your loved ones to share the love all year round.
For the mum who needs to relax: Nala lingerie
If you haven’t met the
Nala lingerie brand yet then I highly suggest you do, with the Bio Comfort Bralette the perfect first cab off the rank. A favourite of mine in soft, buttery fabric, it offers the perfect balance of lift and shape, while feeling like you’re wearing nothing at all. The Support Wirefree Bralette (pictured) is another hot pick – you can thank me later.
