Mother's Day gift ideas for the green-thumbed Mum
If you always default to Mother's Day flowers, why not change it up this year by sending your mum along to a flower arranging class instead? Glebe local and Ikebana expert, Setsuko Yanagisawa, runs a fun Japanese flower arranging class at her light-filled floristry studio in Sydney that makes for a totally unique present for Mum. As a local expert and qualified florist, Setsuko teaches the artful and structural Japanese technique of Ikebana-style flower arranging.
Or, soak up some quality time with your mum at a special flower crown making workshop, led by Petali Australia. Over a few hours, you'll be guided through the delicate art of flower crown making, learn different wiring techniques and gain a better understanding of flower composition. To finish the session, you and your mum can get a photo taken together (adorned with your DIY flower crowns) so that you can remember the day forever!
If your mum loves greenery just as much as a beautiful bouquet of blooms, why not indulge her plant obsession with a relaxing botanical workshop in Sydney? Forget the standard Mother's Day flowers and help her bring the outdoors in with a terrarium making class at Merchant and Green, Redfern's very own floristry studio on leafy Bourke Street. Keen to take your Mother's Day present for Mum to the next level? Book into a calming kokedama workshop, where she'll be able to make her own Japanese hanging moss garden using succulents.
Mother's Day gift ideas for the crafty Mum
If your mum spends all of her spare time knitting woollens for winter, we’ve got your Mother's Day present ideas sorted. Why not book her in for a resin jewellery and mould making class with Made By Me workshop in St Peters? You and Mum will make colourful quirky earrings matched to each persons unique style. Rebecca Doyle, owner of Made By Me Workshop wanted her studio to be a space "that is not only fun but also inviting and inspiring, allowing students to feel comfortable and ready to explore their creativity." And that's exactly what your and your mum will find.
If she's keen on ceramics, send her off to a hand building pottery workshop where she'll make her own mug, bowl or perfectly imperfect planter. Perfect for beginners, this introduction to working with clay is one of the best things to do in Sydney for Mother's Day. Just ask ClassBento crafter Kellie B, who did this workshop with her mum:
"We really enjoyed our clay making class with Carol! It was just my mother and me in carol’s relaxed home studio. We made a bowl each with Carols instruction and I felt as a first time pottery student that I learned a lot as well as feeling really satisfied with my piece. Would recommend for a fun relaxing afternoon!"

Mother's Day ideas for the foodie Mum
If your mum loves her afternoon tea break then this tea blending workshop held by Vishakha Patel on her beautifully aesthetic balcony in Granville is a thoughtful Mother's Day activity you could organise. If handcrafted truffles are her kind of treat, then gift her a place at a chocolate making workshop with Kimberley Chocolates in Petersham. For the self-professed dessert lover, send her along to a vintage cake decorating class where she'll learn how to whip up a beautifully aesthetic cake that tastes as good as it looks.
For something more savoury and on-trend, why not send her on a pickling adventure with a fermentation class? Not only will she learn the basics of fermentation, but she'll also discover how to make two of the most popular varieties of pickled vegetables – sauerkraut and kimchi – which also happen to boast some amazing health benefits, particularly for the gut.
But what if your mum wants to try to incorporate some new and exciting foods into her diet? If she's partial to the odd Indian takeaway, how about booking her into The Modern Desi’s vegetarian Indian cooking class? She’ll learn how to whip up a delicious pot of nutritious, plant-based goodness that she can replicate at home. If your mum's palate is more accustomed to European cuisine, she might enjoy the French classics cooking class at Sydney Cooking School. When it comes to seeking out the best Mother's Day gifts in Sydney, food is the way to her heart.
There are few mums who aren't partial to a quality tipple, so keep this in mind when you're looking for unique Mother's Day presents for mum. Why not head along to Tippled's cocktail making class with Australian native plants in Redfern and whip up some unique beverages using ingredients foraged right here in Sydney?
Healthy and wholesome presents for Mum
If your mum loves wellness, fitness and all things natural, then we have the ultimate healthy Mother's Day idea for you! Whether it’s a tummy-loving kombucha making workshop, where she will learn how to make her own kombucha at home or a gut healing Japanese cooking class, where she'll discover how to boost her immunity and overall health, these Mother's Day gifts are fun, healthy and tasty!
If she's seeking out a supernatural glow, our natural skin care making workshop will give her all the knowledge she needs to make her own beauty products!
Best Mother's Day presents for the adventurous Mum
If your mum's the adventurous type and always hoping to try something new, why not challenge her with a glass blowing taster session taught by contemporary glass artist Mark Elliott? In just two hours, she'll learn the basics of glass blowing and even get to make a couple of glass items to take home. If she's known for her fun-loving spirit and get-up-and-go attitude, consider this Mother's Day gift idea with a little magic and madness, like a hula hoop workshop, taught by a professional circus artist.
Mother's Day gift ideas for the sustainable Mum
Send your planet-loving Mum to a sustainable workshop so that she can learn how to make her very own beeswax wraps and make cling wrap a thing of the past! Or, if your mum is known for her bold sense of style, consider sending her to a furniture upcycling class, where she'll learn how to make old furniture look and feel brand new! If she wants to reinvigorate her home rather than throw old furniture away or buying something low-quality from IKEA, this class is the ultimate present for mum and makes for a magical Mother's Day gift (and a simple way to help save the planet).
Mother's Day ideas for the artsy Mum
Tell her to put on some old clothes and get messy creating indigo fabrics at a shibori workshop, where she'll leave with an indigo-dyed T-shirt, tote bag or tea towel as well as other fabrics she can bring along. Or she can attend a screenprinting masterclass, where she'll learn all about stencilling and printing techniques and walk away with her personally designed tote bags and tea towels.
If you think she’d prefer Mother's Day presents that she can adopt an art practice and continue on at home, a watercolour workshop might be the thing for her. She’ll practice drawing and painting flowers in a perfectly calm and laid back group setting – what's more memorable when it comes to good Mother's Day ideas?
A fun and relaxing painting class you might like to consider is a paint and sip class with Monet and Moscato! Using the great classics as inspiration, your mum will learn to paint anything from a giraffe, to a bunch of hydrangeas to a Monet-inspired masterpiece – all with a glass of wine in hand. If your mum has a best friend, consider sending them together for a night of laughter. When it comes to Mother's Day gifts, paint and sip classes are some of the best things to do in Sydney in 2025.
Mother's Day gift ideas for the hard-to-buy-for-Mum
If you’re unsure of the kind of class your mum would like the most, why not spoil her with a gift card so that she can choose herself and enjoy the workshop with friends or family? No matter your mum’s interests, there's a local class to suit everyone. Whether you're seeking out unique Mother's Day activities for the whole family, or searching for things to do in Sydney for the Mother's Day weekend in 2025, you're bound to find something totally unforgettable!
