Look, we all love Mum. Whether it’s your birth mum, step mum, foster mum, grandmother, dog mum, plant mum, the dad who’s been pulling double parenting duties, mother-in-law, or that one friend who’s basically raised you with memes and mashed potatoes—they deserve a proper moment this Mother’s Day.
The last thing mum wants from you on Mother’s Day is the mug she’s seen a hundred times at the Woolworths down the street. Flowers are pretty — especially if you’ve handpicked and arranged a bouquet for the one who’s cared for you their whole life. But honestly, she might just be annoyed by the whole thing. A practical gift might sound like the best option — something she can actually use, either at home or at her office. However, this can feel a tad bit boring (except maybe a KitchenAid, because who doesn’t love a fancy new beast in the kitchen for all things kneading and blending?).
The key in good gifting is in these five steps: plan ahead, think personal, align with their lifestyle, add experience, and don’t overthink it. Whether you want to gift your mum, grandmum, the dad who does it all, or your wife this Mother’s Day — it’s ideal to start shopping a week or two early. Browse for gifts that match their interests. Add a little twist to make it meaningful. And if in doubt? The gift of experience always wins! 😁
So, we put together the ultimate 2025 gift guide: one that’s inclusive, a little cheeky, and a whole lot of pamper-ready. Spoiler: Blys Gift Cards are the star of the show—and with good reason. But we’ve also included some trendy, personalized picks for all kinds of mums, across all kinds of lifestyles.
Ready to win Mother’s Day? Let’s go.
1. The No-Brainer, No-Fail: A Blys Gift Card 🏷️
Let’s just get this out of the way first: Blys gift cards are the GOAT of Mother’s Day gifting.
They say “I care deeply about your wellbeing” without saying “I spent 4 hours crying in a shopping center trying to pick a candle.“
Whether it’s an at-home massage, facial, mani-pedi, or a yoga session on her back deck, Blys brings the spa straight to her door (yes, even if she’s in PJs and a bun). No travel, no effort—just pure, indulgent me-time.
You pick the amount (starting from $50), she picks the pamper. It’s like a self-care menu with no expiry on joy.
2. The Working Mum (aka the CEO of Everything) 💻
She’s up at 6 AM, packs lunch with one hand and checks her emails with the other, runs the house like a Fortune 500 company—and somehow still knows where your birth certificate is.
Give her something that she’ll treasure, ranging from office essentials, ergonomic choices to a massage experience that’s going to freshen her up right away.
With Blys gift cards, you can give her an experience of the best deep tissue massage to work out the omni-present laptop-shoulder tension. You can choose to pair it up with a luxury planner or a goal journal, because you know she’s got lists for her lists. Toss in a plush blanket for some extra TLC—because after that in-home massage, she’ll be ready for some quality sleep.
3. The Wellness Warrior Mum 🧘
She’s all about good vibes, deep breaths, and a little self-care magic. Whether she’s sipping green juice or setting intentions with her crystals, she’s got a routine that keeps her feeling zen and glowing. To make her feel even more aligned, an aromatherapy session or meditation session through Blys would be the perfect gift to clear out stress and restore her energy. If you want to add something extra, a sound bath subscription or an affirmation card deck will keep those positive vibes flowing. And for her yoga practice, a sustainable, cute yoga mat will let her flow in style. Just skip the kombucha kit—she’s probably already got one! 😄
4. The Dog Mum / Cat Mum / Plant Mum 🐶
No kids? No problem! Her fur babies or fiddle-leaf figs are living their best lives with gourmet meals and all the love in the world. Whether she’s fussing over her pets or nurturing her plants, she’s giving it her all. Show her she’s just as much of a mum as anyone else with the perfect gift—a reflexology massage from Blys to treat the paws behind the paws. The paces mum’s taking trying to keep up with her hyperactive bugger tends to wear out her feet and leave her feeling tired. Reflexology massage targets specific points along the feet, hands and ears, perfect for some evening relaxation after a busy day.
If she’s a proud pet parent, a personalised pet portrait or a toy the little pupper has been wanting is also sure to make her smile. Go for a hanging ceramic pot of succulents or maybe even a custom-made terrarium for the plant-mum.
5. The Dad Who’s Also Mum 👨👧
To the solo dads, the step-in dads, or the ones effortlessly juggling both parenting roles—this day’s for you too. He might not expect to be celebrated on Mother’s Day, but he absolutely should be. Give him a moment to rest, recover, and feel appreciated.
An at-home assisted stretching session through Blys is a great place to start—he’s probably been carrying more than just the weekly grocery haul.
Add a weighted eye mask or a luxe self-heating neck wrap to his self-care kit. If he’s more the organised type, a sleek tech organiser or a reflective journal will help him feel on top of it all—even when he’s running on coffee and sheer willpower.
And hey, if he wants a mani-pedi too—book it. Self-care doesn’t care about gender. Besides, it’s super important to have clean trimmed nails for dads too!
6. The Soft-Hearted Mum Who Always Puts Others First 🍰
You know the one—her love language is banana bread and emotional check-ins. She’s the glue that keeps everyone together, always showing up, always putting others before herself. This Mother’s Day, give her the permission (and the excuse) to slow down. An in-home Swedish relaxation massage from Blys, complete with soft lighting and calming aromatherapy, is the perfect way to help her unwind.
Pair it with a gourmet tea set, a lovingly written note reminding her she deserves rest too, and a box of chocolate truffles to sweeten the moment. Bonus points if you throw in the promise to do the dishes for once—she’s earned it.
7. The Glam Mum Who Wakes Up Flawless 💄
She’s effortlessly elegant, always on point, and somehow makes the school drop-off look like a strut down a runway. Whether she’s picking up groceries or heading to brunch, she brings the glam—no smudged eyeliner in sight.
This Mother’s Day, treat her to a Blys at-home beauty session—a flawless blowdry, fresh mani, or makeup glow-up before her next soirée. Pair it with a high-end makeup organizer (bonus points if it spins) and a satin robe with luxe bath salts for her wind-down rituals.
Light a candle, cue the jazz, and let her bask in main character energy—because she deserves nothing less.
8. The Wanderlust Mum 🛫
She’s the queen of getaways—whether it’s hopping on a plane to Bali or taking a quick weekend road trip to recharge, she’s always planning her next adventure. And the only thing that’s more organised than her packing? Her passport collection.
This Mother’s Day, give her the gift of relaxation before or after her travels with a Blys massage (hotel visits included, because why should spa relaxation be confined to one place?). She’ll also love a travel-sized wellness kit, complete with essential oils, a sleep mask, and mini moisturisers to keep her feeling fresh no matter where she lands.
Add a scratch-off travel map to track all her destinations or a luxe weekender bag that’ll make her next trip feel even more glamorous.
9. The New Mum Who Hasn’t Slept Since February 👩👧👦
She’s juggling nappies, feeding schedules, and probably cried over a nappy commercial. Between the exhaustion and the constant motherhood demands, her body’s recovering, her mind’s in a whirl, and somehow, her hands are still full. But through it all, she’s still managing to be a superhero.
This Mother’s Day, pamper her with a prenatal massage from Blys to soothe her tired muscles and give her a much-needed break. If she’s in need of some physical relief, a heated back wrap will make her feel like she’s been gently cradled while carrying her little one.
Why not take the pressure off meal prep too? Gift her a freezer stocked with premade meals (because seriously, nothing says “I see you” like a tray of lasagna). And for the ultimate win, pair it with a promise to babysit for an hour. She might cry again—but this time, it’ll be from the joy of finally being able to relax.
Still unsure? We get it—finding the perfect gift for someone who deserves everything can be tough. But sometimes, the best gift is the one that lets her choose exactly what she wants. A Blys gift card gives her the freedom to select from a wide range of indulgent services—whether it’s a soothing massage, a rejuvenating beauty treatment, or a peaceful yoga session, all from the comfort of her home.
With these gift cards, you can give her the gift of time and self-care, without the stress of picking the “perfect” item. No need to worry about returns, re-gifting, or whether she already has it—just the peace of knowing you’ve given her a chance to relax, unwind, and truly indulge in what she loves most. The prices start from $50, so you can browse our service menu, and choose a value that best suits mum’s need. You can even add a personalized message so it’s not just another gift card.
Sometimes the most thoughtful gift is the one that shows you understand her need for self-care. Because after all, every mum deserves a little me-time.
