Let's give a round of applause for all the remote working mums out there! This Mother's Day 2026, let's turn that applause into unforgettable gift experiences for mum in Brisbane. These experiences are designed to help Mum unwind and enjoy some well-deserved downtime.
If your Mum is a remote worker, you know she's always on the lookout for fun things to do in Brisbane that let her step out of the home office and engage in something social and fun. Our gift experiences for Mum are not just about a typical Mother's Day lunch or flowers—they're about creating memorable moments that she'll cherish.
Mums pour their hearts into caring for their families, but it’s just as important for them to take a break, focus on themselves and try something new and exciting (minus the kiddos!). That’s why these activities go beyond the usual Mother's Day gifts, inspiring creativity, connection and relaxation.
Ready to discover the best Mother’s Day activities in Brisbane? From painting and pottery to cooking and crafting, here are nine amazing ways to make this Mother’s Day extra special.
Treat Mum to a paint and sip class
Looking for fun and unique Mothers Day gift ideas for the hard-working mum in your life? Get inspired with paint and sip classes in Brisbane! Mum can learn how to paint a beautiful landscape or life drawing, or even use watercolours to paint flowers or animals at one of our Brisbane art workshops. All while she enjoys a glass of wine or two!
Painting classes are usually designed with absolute beginners in mind, so no matter what, Mum will still be able and learn some amazing new skills. She'll also leave with a unique masterpiece that she created herself. What could be better than that?
Inspire her to cook up a storm
Not every mum out there likes to cook, but almost everyone loves eating, and with our Brisbane cooking classes you can get the best of both worlds! With everything from American smoking BBQ classes to sourdough bread-making classes and everything in between, there’s something for everyone to enjoy making and devouring.
Mum can travel the world from the comfort of one of our Brisbane kitchens with an Italian cooking class or make delicious and authentic Japanese food. Learn how to cook pizza, pasta or gnocchi, or even how to make ramen or dumplings. As far as fun Brisbane activities for mum go, you can’t go wrong with a cooking class!

Jump on the pottery wheel
One of the most hands-on Mother’s Day activities in Brisbane is a pottery class! Mum can try throwing clay on the pottery wheel or crafting beautiful hand-built ceramics. If she’s feeling adventurous, she might even enjoy a Kintsugi workshop, learning the art of Japanese gold repair.
She'll be surprised by how much fun she has creating something unique and personal in one of our Brisbane pottery studios. From vases and bowls to clay planters and even handmade jewellery, Mum will create something beautiful that she can proudly display in her home. When it’s all said and done, there’s no gift more rewarding than the one that teaches her new skills, boosts her confidence and is made by her very own hands!
Shake, muddle and stir cocktails
Help Mum swap her usual Saturday glass of wine for a masterclass in cocktail making! This is a brilliant Mother's Day activity in Brisbane for mums who love trying something new (and delicious). From a classic Negroni to an aromatic espresso martini or even a fruity cosmopolitan, Mum can learn how to mix up the perfect drinks with some of the city’s best bartenders.
From tasting her own concoctions to learning about different spirits and ingredients, Mum will be inspired to take all of her delicious recipes home with her and recreate them time and time again. There’s nothing like relaxing with a refreshing drink after a long day caring for the kids!
Weave and twist macrame knots
If Mum loves crafts or home decor, a macrame workshop could be a beautiful way to spend Mother's Day. These Mother’s Day activities Brisbane locals love involve weaving eco-friendly materials into wall hangings, plant holders, or even stylish swings. It’s a creative and calming way to spend a few hours—and she’ll go home with a handmade treasure.
