Finding that perfect present for a mum who seems to have everything can be a daunting task. Especially when it comes to a special occasion like Mother's Day, which calls for choosing a gift that is as thoughtful and unique as your mum. At Koh Living, we specialise in gifts that are not just beautiful, but also meaningful, so we know a thing or two about finding a gift that's guaranteed to bring a smile to your mum's face. Of course, if you want to know the real truth, she'll be happy just to hear from you, get a surprise visit, or a big, cuddly hug.
Understanding Your Mum’s Interests: A Key to the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
The first step to choosing the right gift for mum, is to think about what makes your mum tick. What sparks joy in her days? What makes her eyes light up? Does she enjoy nature? Is she captivated by art and culture? Reflecting on her hobbies and passions can provide a great starting point.
Explore Art Gifts That Connect & Inspire
Art possesses a timeless appeal that can resonate deeply on a personal level. Consider giving your mum a gift that speaks to her soul. Our collection of art-inspired gifts includes pieces that are not only visually striking but also imbued with the stories and symbolism of Indigenous Australian art.
Each piece tells a story, making it a thoughtful and profound gift for a mum who loves culture and history. Whether it's a decorative piece for her living room or a functional art item for her daily use, these gifts bridge the gap between utility and beauty, making them perfect for the mum who cherishes deeper meanings in her day.
We love connecting all things beauty and passion here at Koh, our latest range of gifts for Mother's day in particular, includes stunning pieces that celebrate the beauty of the natural world perfectly expressed with stunning cultural artistry. Our Aboriginal art range of gifts is perfect for mums who appreciate creativity and beauty in their surroundings.
Consider the Gift of Relaxation
Every mum deserves a moment of relaxation. Consider gifts that encourage her to take some time for herself. A set of calming, scented candles from our collection can be the perfect invitation for her to unwind and relax. These gifts offer a dual benefit—they enhance her living space while providing a serene atmosphere.
If she's a lover of tea or coffee, our beautiful art mugs or travel mugs will pair wonderfully with her favourite brew, offering comfort and joy with each use. By gifting her an item she can use regularly, you provide a regular reminder of your thoughtfulness and care, enhancing her everyday life with a sprinkle of joy even when you're not near.
Let Mum Indulge with an Australian-Made Pamper Gift Sets
Out of our entire collection, the Pamper Gift Set continues to be a favourite present for mums who are hard to buy for. It’s a thoughtful way to show you care, combining the wonders of Australian botanicals with deeply nourishing natural ingredients.
Mum can wash away the day with our moisturising Australian made soap, soothe her skin with our hydrating hand cream, and unwind as the aromas of our 100% soy wax candles fill the room.
Presented in a beautiful art-printed cotton gift bag, it’s available in a range of scents including Native Frangipani, Lemon Myrtle, and Coconut & Finger Lime. Each item is also available individually, giving you the option to create your own personalised gift basket for mum.
More Gift Ideas for Hard-to-Buy-For Mums
If you're struggling to find the right gift for a mum who says “don’t get me anything,” or already has everything she needs, you’re not alone. Some mums are just plain hard to buy for – but a meaningful, art-inspired gift can go a long way. Here are a few thoughtful Mothers Day gift ideas for the mums who are tricky to shop for but always deserve something special.
Gifts For Mums Who Love To Cook
She may not need another kitchen gadget, but a beautifully designed tea towel is something she’ll actually use – and enjoy. Our collection of art-inspired tea towel features designs that brighten up her space while quietly saying, “thanks for every meal, snack and cuppa.” Choose from vibrant Aboriginal Art prints or nature-inspired designs like the Kinship Linen Tea Towel. Bonus points if you actually use the tea towel to dry up!
Mother's Day Gifts For Mums Who Love Coffee
Mum types are often happy to lend a listening ear. Their sound advice, accompanied by a good cup of coffee is always good for the soul. Show them you enjoy the ritual (and our environment!) with a Koh Living reusable stainless steel travel mug. Double-walled and insulated with a leak proof lid, they’ll keep her coffee hot for 12 hours.
We know some conversations are better shared over a wine or cocktail and for this the stainless steel travel mug also comes in handy, keeping your cold beverages chilled for 24 hours. Our latest autumn/winter collection includes two new travel mugs featuring all new illustrations from renowned artist Anna Blatman. If the mum figure in your life enjoys a cuppa at home then a set of art-inspired mugs won’t go astray either.
Gifts For Mums Who Love To Entertain
If your mum is the life of the party and ready to welcome one and all to her table, lean into it. She’ll be excited to get you all together (again and again!) so she can use her art-inspired candle holders to bring beauty and joy to the table and the room.
Dropping just in time for Mother’s Day, our new range includes a stunning collection of candle holders, candle lamps, scented candles and candle gift packs. Choose from a range of Aboriginal art designs that combine the beauty of Australian history, culture and art. To create truly unique Mothers Day gifts, think about how you can marry meaningful gifts with quality time. You may like to spoil her with gifts for the table, arrange a meal and invite her loved ones to sit at it too!
Mother's Day Presents For Active and Sporty Mums
Busy mums, sporty mums, always-on-the-go mums – they’ll love something practical like an art-inspired stainless steel drink bottle. With a diverse and ever-growing range of artistic designs, Koh Living’s drink bottle collection has something to suit every vibe. This is also the perfect present for busy mums (which is basically all mums right?) who run from place to place, always ticking the boxes with an endless ‘to do’ list.
