Mother’s Day
All families are different and I try very hard to feature books here on my blog for all families. Mother’s Day can be a beautiful day of honouring your mum or mother figure, or it may be a really tricky or fraught day for you….I so understand this. My own mum is superb and I know I am very lucky.
The gift ideas in this post are a mash up of all the things I love and I think you will also love. Email or message this list to whomever is buying you a gift – done! In my case, the girls are going to choose something from here for me and we’re going to ‘add to cart’ and wait for the parcel in the mail.
Gifts for Mother’s Day
In my ideal world, I’d be in bed all day on Mother’s Day reading a book – this is not going to happen for me – but I can dream! I don’t read many adult books, but these titles are ones I would totally recommend for Mother’s Day.

Magazines
A magazine is the gift that gives every month for a year – that is lots of times that you will be thanked for the gift! There is nothing nicer than sitting and reading a magazine with a cup of tea for five minutes or so and though I subscribe to some magazines online, it is just NOT the same as a paper copy in the mail each month…you cannot post-it note an online copy. I personally love Breathe, which Bec Sparrow put me onto, ‘Frankie’, ‘Flow’, ‘Womankind’, ‘Lunch Lady’, ‘Smith Journal’, ‘Organic Gardener’ and ‘Mindfood’.
Kobo eReader
My children (8 and 12) and I all have our own Kobo Clara eReaders, controversial as a librarian who loves print? I actually embrace all forms of reading my eReader increases the amount of books I can churn through, I carry it everywhere and in 2020 with #stayhome, the eReaders are essential! There are a number of brands on the market, I went with the Kobo brand of eReader as I knew that Kindles were locked to Amazon whereas with a Kobo you can access Overdrive from Australian public libraries and most school library digital collections.
Gorman
I have a few of these water resistant cotton canvas planters and they are super duper nicer than plastic pots. I really love the soft look of fabric with the green of the plants…unless the plants die…which does occasionally happen.
My Gorman pillowcases (not these ones) make me smile and I really love the pop of colour. They are a 250 thread count printed pillowcase pair with print on one side and plain on the back. I’ve found they wash beautifully.

If you have been following me for a while you will know that I have a thing for bees and I have thing for the products from Oh My Giddy Aunt. Nikki’s attention to detail and service is like nothing I’ve ever experienced shopping online. My bee ring has a small diamond for each child, the dog and one for Dan. I almost never take it off.
Biome
Biome has a beautiful range of organic and sustainably-produced toiletry bags, makeup bags and cosmetic bags like this One Thousand Lines Flat Pouch.
I love this Aroma Diffuser made from bamboo and glass and have one in my kitchen and one in my bedroom.

Ruby Olive
Gift Sets
Ruby Olive have the most spectacular range of gift sets at the moment – they are an entire gift in a box and the accompanying cards are just totally mood lifting! I have a particular fondness for BB Balls – so this one above is my pick!
Necklaces
I am rarely without one of the Ruby Olive necklaces these days – I love the feel of the hand-poured resin and the incredibly bold colours. The colours and the quality of Ruby Olive pieces are delicious – funny word to use when describing accessories but they really are – they look and feel edible. Dear glory, they even featured me on their blog despite the fact that I am CLEARLY not a fashion blogger!
Bohemian Traders
As mentioned above, I‘m not a fashion blogger – I KNOW you’re shocked as I’m such a style icon #saidnooneever. Despite not having much of a clue, I do adore a few brands and stick with them season in, season out. Jericho Road, Gorman, Dogstar, Maiocchi, Adrift and Bohemian Traders is pretty much my wardrobe – with random staples thrown in. I really like this dotty skirt…like really like it.
