Because mums deserve the world – or at least a nice drink and a thought-out gift.

How good are mums. They do so, so much and ask so, so little in return. Which is exactly why we need to spoil them this Mother’s Day. Think about all those times your mum nailed the perfect gift for you – well now it’s time to turn the tables and beat mum at her own gift giving game.

To help you win this Mother’s Day we’ve pulled together the perfect gift for every type of mum. From mums who love pink to mums who are charade champions, below you’ll find the gift that’ll blow her mind. For this list we’ve stuck to homewares in particular because we all know every mum loves a little something to help zhoosh up the place. And we’ve even included the best drink to throw in with it – think of it as adding the cherry on top.

Because mums deserve the world – or at least something nice to drink and a well thought-out gift to go along with it.

For the mum who's one with the earth: Tread Softly Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with Wulbung (basket) by Yulki Nunggumajbarr from Numbulwar Numburindi Arts

Not only does Tread Softly make a deliciously full flavoured pinot noir that’s lighter on alcohol content, they’re also determined to be light on the environment. The eco-conscious wine label reduces their carbon footprint through a dedicated tree planting program – something every environmentally aware mum will love raising a glass to. Pair the wine with a beautiful hand woven bowl from Numbulwar Numburindi Arts, a community owned collective that makes incredible bowls from washed up fishing line. Each bowl is uniquely crafted by local artists, the striking one pictured above is by Yulki Nunggumajbarr, using traditional weaving techniques that have been passed down for generations.

For the mum who loves all pink everything: La Plancheliere French Craft Pink Gin with Pink Wave Pitcher from Maker’s Mrkt

If your mum’s ideal home looks something like Barbie’s dream house – pink, pink, and more pink – she’ll swoon over this retro inspired blush pink Wave Pitcher by designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen. This isn’t a pitcher that stays in the cupboard, it’s one you have to leave out and show off. On the practical front, it’s heat and cold resistant which makes it perfect for whipping up a batch of pink martinis with La Plancheliere French Craft Pink Gin. A pink drink from her pink pitcher in her pink home – she’ll be in (pink) heaven.

For the mum who plans family movie night: Miraval Studio Rosé with Joseph Joseph Popcorn Maker from Marks & Spencers

Mums love to plan a family movie night, even if you spend the first 20 minutes scrolling through the Netflix menu struggling to agree on something to watch. At least drinks and snacks will be sorted with a bottle of Miraval Studio Rosé and freshly popped popcorn from her Joseph Joseph Popcorn Maker. Maybe you should fire up a classic Brad Pitt movie, he is the owner of Miraval after all. Just be ready for your mum to keep mentioning how handsome he is.

For the mum who never drinks red wine: Vinada Sparkling Chardonnay with Sage & Clare Taavi Velvet Pillow Sham

If your mum loves a glass of red on the couch then this is not the gift for her. However, if she’s more inclined to a glass of white or sparkling then she can be trusted with this luxurious wheat-coloured velvet pillow sham from Sage & Clare. Picture it now: mum celebrating her day with a glass of bubbly Vinada Sparkling Chardonnay and kicking back for a well-deserved break on the couch. An added bonus is that Vinada’s delicious sparkling is alcohol free, so mums who don’t drink can enjoy a glass. Très chic!

For the mum who deserves flowers – and not just on Mother’s Day: Archie Rose Native Botanical Vodka with Trikl Amora Candle

Flowers are a great gift. Everybody loves getting flowers. The trouble with flowers is that they die (and they always die way faster than you think they will). Rather than grabbing mum a bouquet that will be gone in a week, let’s channel that floral energy into something slightly more permanent. Trickl’s Amora Candle is a flower power inspired delight that will brighten up any space just as much as fresh flowers. And the bright citrusy aroma of the candle will go down a treat with a glass of Archie Rose’s Botanical Vodka. Made with native lemon scented gum and sunrise lime, it’s perfect simply sipped neat or on the rocks.

For the mum who deserves some downtime: Miller Chill with Lime with Dowel Jones Sister Chair

Mums are superhuman. They get more done before lunch than the rest of us can do in a full day. They’re always go, go, go and never take enough time for themselves to relax, which is why this gift combo is all about chilling out. Dowel Jones’ luxurious Sister Chair makes it the perfect chill spot to kick back with a Miller Chill and Lime. Because bright beers should always be paired with bright chairs, duh. Okay, at $2,060 we know this one is an unlikely splurge – perhaps better suited to a family of 15 kids (and cousins) where you can split the bill – but also, isn’t mum worth every cent?

For the mum who lights up any room: Three Oaks Native Hibiscus Lime Apple Cider with 70s Ceramic Salt and Pepper Set from House of Orange

Do you have one of those mums who walks into the room and their energy is completely infectious? You know, the mum who makes slightly inappropriate jokes but gets away with it because she’s so much fun. That kind of high energy mum needs a gift that’s got as much character as she does, which calls for the bright and slightly out-there flavours of Three Oaks Native Hibiscus Lime Apple Cider. Combined with this oh-so bright, slightly kitschy ‘70s salt and pepper set from House of Orange you’ve got the perfect gift for a mum who does everything to the max.

For the mum who forces everyone to play games: Pals Vodka Mango and Pineapple Seltzer with Areaware Dusen Dusen Everybody Kitchen Timer

Technically, this Areaware Timer with artwork by Dusen Dusen is meant for the kitchen, but we all know a gamer mum won’t just be using it to time eggs. If your mum uses every family function as an opportunity for charades, she’ll love pulling out this colourful timer as she tries to hold onto her crown as the family’s best player. No doubt she’ll love sipping on a Pals Mango and Pineapple Seltzer as she tells you off for mouthing the words as you act out your clues.

Bonus round – For the kids who don’t have time to shop: Lanson Rosé Champagne Glasses Gift Set

A good giftset is a lifesaver for the time-poor. But let’s be honest, some giftsets can be pretty meh. This divine option from Lanson, however, is the exception. Luscious Rosé Champagne from one of France’s most esteemed maisons is beautifully packaged with two delicate Champagne glasses to make the perfect pairing. Time to pop a bottle and toast to the world’s best mum.
