I’m one of those people who think each and every day should be Mother’s Day! Why? Because the Mums in our society do so much that goes unacknowledged every single moment of our lives that we shouldn’t have to wait a whole year to say “thank you” and express our gratitude. She’s our confidante, our advisor, our taxi-driver, our family physician, our counsellor, our chef, our laundry-maid, our mentor, our teacher, our cheerleader, our hero, our inspiration. Words cannot express how much she means to us. We wouldn’t be here on this earth if it wasn’t for her. Do you get stuck thinking about what to get for Mum each year, especially since nothing can really compensate for the time and energy she has sacrificed to be the best Mum she can be? Don’t worry – my epic Etsy Mother’s Day Gift Guide has you covered, with 25 unique gifts for Mum that she’ll actually love!
This post is in partnership with Etsy Australia, one of my very favourite brands to collaborate with, especially because they proactively support designer-makers, many of them who are also mothers! All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links, but I’ve curated the products based on what I’ve seen and loved.

Thanks Jess for the fantabulous gift ideas!
Yes, mum means a lot to me, All I can say is that thank you mum!
THERE IS NO MUM LIKE MY MUM, YOU ARE THE BEST!
I just got my Mom a much deserved manicure and pedicure. She’s the best Mom ever! Also, thank you so very much for featuring Bless Studio in your lovely blog post. I’ve shared all over social media.
I would buy my mum somthing nice for her new house as she has moved across the country just to be near her grandkids and me. She is the most loving grandmother and mother I could ask for xxx
My mom is special bc she aloud is to totally restart out relationship about ten years ago, and it had never been better. I think I would get her a nice skein of homespun yarn for her crocheting! Fingers crossed Mom!!
My mom has just always been supportive! She is simply the best! Also my sister just had her first child less than a week ago. I live the amethyst planters and the leather shoulder bag.
My mom is so special to me! She is STILL taking care of me after all these years. Hate that she has to, but love that does! Would love a gift card so I could buy her some bath bombs and spa products so she can treat herself to some relaxation. She totally deserves it!
love this post-honestly best mother’s Day gift guide I’ve seen lately, and what a fun giveaway! Etsy is my favorite for special gifts.
My mom always leads with empathy and continues to lead by example through her humanitarian work and career as a therapist. She has a unique ability to make everyone feel like the most special person in the room. She’s always encouraged me to be my own person, but I always just wanted to be just like her. Still do! I would get her a personalized necklace with her name on it. Etsy is my favorite place for personal keepsake gifts like that!
My mum is the most selfless, strong woman I know. She’s special to me (and my boys!) because even though we’re miles apart she’s our biggest support and always there for us. She works so hard and gives so much. She’s my closest friend, and a wonderful example for my children. If I can be even half the mother she is I’ll be happy 🙂
I would get my mom those spa essentials! She is always working SO hard and deserves a break! She raises three kids and a single mom. I would give her everything if I could!!
What a great post and collection of gifts!
I agree that Mother’s Day should be every day. It is fun to treat Mum with a little something though. My Mum is my unconditional love and support warrior. I’d be lost without her.
I love the little rhino succulent pot! Would look amazing on her quilting desk. That’s def one of the gifts on the list!
Thanks again for this post xx
My Mum has six kids! And even though we’re all grown up now, she continues to look out for us, and our husbands, wives and many grandchildren. I think she’d love My Bearded Pigeon’s magnolia wall hanging (and I’d have to get Moonlit Sleep’s pillowcases for me )
Where do I even start? My mum is my go to, my spirit guide, my champion and the OG Fun Nanna to my very, very lucky babes! My mum is actually way cooler than me so I’d spoil her with one of My Bearded Pigeon’s beautiful linen wall hangings or one of Floriosa’s gorgeous Protea prints

My mum is so caring and supportive, to my brother and I and our families. I would love to buy my mumma a diffuser for Mother’s Day because she has neuralgia and I think they would help. I would also love to get her a family portrait, with her, husband, children, partners and all the grand children
What a beautiful gift idea guide! And amazing giveaway! My mum has been there for me and my family through thick and thin. She’s taught me to stay strong when I didn’t think it was possible. She’s a beautiful lady with a heart of gold that deserves the world. I would love to spoil her with something special and unique for her home, that reminds her she’s always loved and never alone:)
My mum is incredible! She is so caring, thoughtful and loving, and so so giving of her time, her energy and her resources for not only her children but also other members of the broader community.
I’d probably get her some planters because they are so adorable, and she could do with some more indoor plants.
