Mums Day Gift Guide
Spoil your mum (or friend, aunt, partner, sister, etc.) on this special day… or any day for that matter. Here are some thoughtful Mums day gift ideas, from homeware to loungewear, all with a hint of luxe. Only the best of the best for your queen.
Wear Home
What better gift to give the beautiful women in your world than something that holds the same quality. Good & Co’s latest offering is nothing short of, you guessed it, beautiful. This season’s designer scarves showcases a tight selection of luscious and autumnal tones, featuring scenes from our homeland. Iconic spots from the North and South Islands are photographed and transformed into wearable art. Available in skinny or oversized wool/silk and timeless silk chiffon.

Shake It Off
Mum-life is almost always full, and often regarded as “serious business”. But it’s time F-U-N is brought back into the picture, and dare we say placed front and centre. A bit of music and permission to shake and shimmy every once in a while hurt nobody, right? To that, we say cue in Sony’s sleek and minimalistic SRS-XB23 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speaker.
Designed with convenience in mind, this speaker is not only dustproof, waterproof and washable (aka essentially child-proof), but it also achieves powerful sound quality for a richer listening experience. With up to 12 hours of battery life, this means mum can go from yoga to dance party throughout the day with no recharge required.
Available online for $249.95
Leave a Legacy
Colder months call for comfort food, and what’s more comforting than a classic home-cooked meal? There’s a high chance you’re thinking about your mum’s signature dish right about now. To say thank you for the many feasts you’ve been treated to, reverse-treat your mum to a brand-spankin’ new pan. Yes, a pan… but not just any ordinary pan. Ironclad’s Legacy Pan, aptly dubbed as the mother of all cookware, is the original and only 100% NZ-made cast iron skillet. Made with recycled T100 iron, the Legacy Pan has been designed to withstand three generations of daily use. Every Ironclad Pan automatically comes with their trademark Three Generation Guarantee™️.

When Life Gives You Lemons…
Mums are known to be the ultimate lemonade-makers, making the most of any and every difficult situation. But with the manic times we’re in as of late, maybe a tall glass of lemonade won’t suffice. Some moments call for a G&T when life gives you lemons. Cittadelle Gin, made in the Southwest of France at Chateau de Bonbonnet, is all about artisanal spirits that are meant to be savored. The challenge was to create ‘summer in a glass’ and succeed they did. Citadelle Gin uses juniper berries grown on its estate ground to create this voluptuous gin with notes of juniper, citrus and spices. Best enjoyed in a Citadelle Gin & Tonic, with a twist of lemon; if you’re feeling indulgent, pair with oysters.

Find the Calm
To the most selfless of individuals, the gift of me-time could be the greatest ever. Win the most amount of brownie points when you tie a moment of solitude up in a bow, metaphorically that is. For a more literal take, wrap up the Sabi Robe by Des Sen and call it a day. Effortless and luxurious to a tee, made from pure flax linen from the Normandy region in France, these robes are designed to be worn during the moments of calm that bookend your day. Available in the colours Stone and Blanca, with the dreamiest of design details – romantic gathered sleeves.
Available for $260 in store or online.
