Mother's Day 2025 Gift Guide

Mother's Day 2025 in Australia: Celebrating the Heart of Australian Families

Mother’s Day 2025 in Australia is a day of thanks and remembrance for our incredible Mum's. They embody love, selflessness, and strength. We give them flowers and gifts of love on Mother’s Day. Families gather to have fun together and treat her to something special. Blossoms also play an important part on Mother’s Day 2025 for loved ones lost but never forgotten.

I have returned from a holiday to Japan. It was fantastic to experience the culture, food, history, shopping, new friends and country roads! While we walked on the trails, we took in the fresh scents of the pine forests and chatted. Some travellers recounted their experiences in their home country and other trips. I felt happy to escape for a while and savour the bamboo, cherry blossoms and trees waking up from a cold winter. As we walked and chatted, I realised how important family is to us. Their kind and truthful support help us to get our thoughts together. We cherish their valuable suggestions. My walking buddies had some worries in their life, like me. I appreciated their honest and open chats with me. Now that I’m home I can start refreshed and take a deep breath once again.

Mother's Day celebrations in Australia

Many moons ago, I walked the Mother’s Day Classic way back in 1998. Today the Mother’s Day Classic has raised funds for breast and ovarian cancer research. It has made a large impact on families lives.



Mother’s Day can be a traditional family gathering or a charity event like the Mother’s Day Classic. No matter how you spend some time together, I hope it’s an enjoyable get together for you and your family.

How do you spend your day with Mum or thinking of her?

Mother's Day events and activities across Australia

Throughout Australia, Mother's Day has a variety of events and activities. Food brings many families together. It may be a breakfast on the veranda or lunch out at a cafe. Or a fun walk to support your favourite charity.

My Mum has passed, but I will remember her with some flowers and a coffee in her memory.

Mother's Day present ideas

There are many presents for Mother’s Day available at Busy Bee Blossom. My vision is for gentle and caring gifts for everyone. I am a Mum too and understand that a smile and a thoughtful gift is important to you.

Here are some ideas:

Repair Body Cream to enjoy pure blossom fragrance on her skin. Repair Body Creams are:

• small batch made with deeply moisturising plant-based oils.
• made with pure essential oils that feel and smell divine on skin.

Pure essential oils of:

• Precious Bulgarian Rose Otto (Rosa Damascena) – Warm, spicy, and floral aroma. Rose Otto improves vitality and skin quality. A rose says “I love you”.
• Frankincense (Boswellia Carterii) and Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) – Sweet, herbaceous, and floral scent. Frankincense enhances skin suppleness and hydration, while geranium balances skin sebum.
• Australian Sandalwood (Santalum Spicatum) and Lavender Bulgarian (Lavandula Angustifolia) – Sweet, floral, and woody scent. Sandalwood improves skin tone and hydrates, while lavender soothes inflamed skin conditions.

Lavender eye pillows are a customer favourite. Each eye pillow is handmade and ready to bring divine relaxation to Mum. Available in various silks and organic cotton. I have some exquisite Japanese silk that will be available soon. I can’t wait to bring these to you!

Make a booking for one of my Natural skincare gua sha facial massage workshops. This will be lovely time for Mum to relax, learn and have fun with the other participants. My workshop is at Hampton and French, Summer Hill. The natural skincare workshop is a great way to share and learn together. Bookings are available here.

Mother's Day recipes and special treats

A lovely start for Mother’s Day is my recipe for Coconut Pancakes. Imagine Mum waking up to sun streaming in the window, and kids jumping on the bed to hug and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day. Mum is not yet ready to wake up, but that’s no problem. Grumpiness isn’t allowed on the first Sunday in May in Australia. Mum will love waking up to smiles, a coffee and Coconut Pancakes.

Another favourite in my family is Spiced Honey Cake. This will make a lovely, sweet treat for afternoon tea or after dinner. Baking is a favourite pastime in my home that allows us to be creative and caring all at once.

I remember the time when I made Chocolate Melting Moments, from the classic Women's Weekly cookbook, and my Mum couldn’t believe that I made them. Up until then, she used to joke with me saying that “She can’t boil an egg”. Hah, it feels good to give your Mum a pleasant surprise!

Show love and how much you care for your Mum. Surprise them with your creative and heart felt joy. It doesn’t have to cost the Earth to show your Mum some love and appreciation on Mother’s Day in Australia.

Conclusion - Reflecting on the importance of celebrating mothers in Australia

Mothers are the warm heart and soul of our family. Together with their loved one, they guide the rest of the family. Mothers play an important role in shaping and influencing Australian families and communities. Where would we be without our Mums creating the routines that teach us the regular things that we do every day.

Mother’s Day 2025 is a day to let them remember that they are loved and cherished by their family. Mother’s Day is a day to show your appreciation for Mum and make it a special occasion.

Japan showed me some important lessons in how much Mum’s are valued and loved. Its always nice to see new cultures and to come back home fresh and appreciative of what we have.
