Thoughtful Mother's Day Gifts from Inspiring Australian Women-Led Brands

This Mother’s Day, skip the cliché flowers and give her something she’ll really love, while supporting brilliant Australian women-led businesses. From new mums to sporty mums, and those who simply deserve better sleep (aka all of them!), here’s your curated guide to gifts that are thoughtful, useful, and designed with heart.

For the Mum Who Needs a Moment of Peace

When the world doesn’t stop, help Mum tune it out. Sleep Dreams is Australia’s trusted destination for sleep headphones designed to bring calm, quiet, and deep rest back into the bedtime routine. Their Sleep Headphones are ultra-soft, Bluetooth-enabled, and oh-so-comfy — perfect for winding down after a long day.

Whether she’s meditating, drifting off to music, or just blocking out snoring (let’s be honest), this is a gift she’ll use night after night.

For the Mum Who Dreams of a Good Night’s Sleep

Let’s be honest — there’s no gift quite like rest. And if there’s anyone who deserves to sleep like a queen, it’s Mum.
That’s where It-Fits comes in—Australia’s go-to brand for ultra-soft, breathable jersey bed sheets made from 100% Australian cotton.

Designed with a clever four-way stretch that hugs the mattress just right, these sheets stay perfectly in place—no slipping, bunching, or early-morning wrestling matches with the corners.
Just smooth, comfy, cloud-like sleep... every. single. night.

If your Mum is someone who dreams of a peaceful sleep sanctuary, this is a dreamy place to start. And yes, they come in soothing colours that are as lovely as they are practical.
A good night's sleep really does make a beautiful gift.

For the Mum Who Loves to Unwind

Give the gift of a calm, restorative bedtime ritual with the Hush Vaporiser Kit from Snotty Noses Co..
This ultrasonic cool mist vaporiser—designed by an Aussie mum—is paired with natural essential oils to support deeper sleep, reduce stress, and promote easier breathing.

Stylish enough for any bedroom (hello, timber-look cover!) and safe for ages 0–99, this gift is all about helping Mum feel calm, cosy, and cared for.

For the Mum Who Loves to Wrap Up in Style

Cooler weather calls for cosy layers — and nothing feels quite like Merino.

Leophil is a Melbourne-based boutique fashion label celebrated for its elegant, understated knitwear made from responsibly sourced Merino wool. Their pieces are Australian-made and perfect for layering through autumn and beyond.

Thoughtful in design and rooted in sustainability, Leophil’s commitment to local production and handcrafted detail makes their knitwear extra special — a timeless gift Mum will wear again and again.

For the Mum Who’s Always Packing Lunches—for Everyone Else

Let’s help Mum nourish herself this time. The Stainless Steel Bento Lunch Box by Ecococoon is durable, eco-conscious, and beautifully designed—ideal for work, picnics, or a peaceful lunch in the park.

It’s a stylish little reminder that her health matters too—and that even lunch can feel like self-care.

For the Active Mum Who’s Always on the Move

Support for mums—literally. The team at She Science are experts in professional bra fitting, offering sizes A–K and a selection of industry-leading brands.

A gift card for a custom fitting gives Mum the comfort and confidence to move freely—whether she's walking, running, or chasing little ones around the house.

For the New Mum Who Deserves Her Hands Back

She’s multitasking her way through every day—so give her something that gives back. The Wearable Breast Pump from Tyhan is quiet, compact, and comfortable, allowing her to express milk hands-free, wherever she is.

Designed by a mum who’s been there, it’s a small act of support that makes a huge difference in her daily life.

For the Mum Who Deserves Comfort & Confidence—Every Day

When it comes to thoughtful gifts, practical can still feel personal. Eco Period’s reusable, leakproof underwear is designed to support women through every stage—whether it’s for periods, postpartum recovery, light bladder leaks, or menopause.

They’re soft, breathable, and beautifully made—perfect for mums who value comfort and care in their everyday essentials. Not sure about size or style? A digital gift card gives her the freedom to choose what suits her best.
