Something for every mum: the ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide for 2022

We can all agree that it doesn't have to be Mother’s Day to spoil our mums or tell them we love them. But when Mother’s Day does roll around, it's as good a day as any to go all out with breakfast in bed, flowers and a unique gift for Mum. After all, she’s responsible for bringing us into this world so the least we can do is celebrate Mother’s Day.

Don’t forget, Mother’s Day is for all mums, grandmothers, stepmothers, or anyone that has assumed a motherly role in your life. So, whether you’re buying for the mum who insists she doesn't want anything or a mum-type figure that deserves to be spoiled, we’ve got the best gifts you can buy from the Australia Post online shop.  

For the mum who loves clever tech

If your mum loves a new gadget or some clever tech, treat her to all the binge-worthy movies and series she can handle on this 42" Blaupunkt Smart TV. It comes with pre-installed apps^# like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play for Android, so setting up is a breeze.

If she's already got a TV she loves, upgrade her setup with Apple TV HD. This digital entertainment device plugs into your TV and gives multiple options for streaming TV shows, movies, games and apps from a variety of services. If you think Mum would appreciate some tech from a simpler time, transport her back to the good old days with this Thomson Retro 3 Speeds Turn Table with AM/FM Radio.  

For the mum who is a culinary whiz

If your mum is the type of mum who has a bookshelf full of cookbooks and always ‘pops in’ with a freshly made lasagne, gift her a foodie appliance this Mother’s Day. This Mistral Pizza Oven is the affordable way to make gourmet pizzas at home. Perfect for entertaining, she’ll love making pizza from scratch or grilling open sandwiches.

There isn't a mum in the world that doesn't deserve to be pampered. Bring the salon treatment to her with this Mistral 5 in 1 Manicure & Pedicure Set that includes shaping, filing and buffing heads plus a felt polisher attachment.

If there's one thing all mums tend to be lacking in, it's a good night’s sleep. Help her catch up on her ‘zzz’s in style with this Nice & Nifty Eyemask Scrunchie and Pillowcase Set. And with winter around the corner, this package with a Hotwater Bottle and Eyemask will keep her cosy and warm.

Simply pick up a packet of your mum’s favourite flower seeds from your local gardening store and you've got the perfect personalised Mother’s Day gift.  

For the mum who enjoys a chat

If a quick phone call to Mum tends to turn into an hour-long debrief and gossip session, hook her up with a new phone for Mother’s Day. That way, you can call every day to tell her you love her (aww!).
