The Best Christmas Presents for Mum in 2024

It's that wonderful time of the year when we can show our loved ones how much they mean to us, which is where our Christmas gifts for Mum come in! When it comes to finding the perfect gift for Mum, it's not always about picking out something expensive or lavish, instead, it's about selecting something that aligns with her interests and passions. No matter what kind of Mum she is, whether she loves to keep her hands busy and learn something new or appreciates some self-care time all to herself, we’ve got her 2024 present ideas sorted. Arrange flowers into a gorgeous DIY bouquet, pour and mix resin onto a cheeseboard or indulge her tastebuds with a wine tasting in her local neighbourhood. If that piques your interest, read on to discover a variety of thoughtful Christmas gifts for every type of Mum in Australia.

For the busy Mum who’s looking for me-time

First on our list are gifts for Mums who deserve some well-earned me-time outside the busyness of life. It's no secret that mothers often put others before themselves, so why not gift her something that encourages her to take a break during the holiday season? Check out one of our self-care gifts for Mums that she’ll adore. From candle making classes to flower arranging workshops in Australia, these creative experiences provide an opportunity for your mum to unwind in a calm and therapeutic space while learning a new skill.

If your mum is into all things plants, consider getting her a DIY terrarium making workshop.  These terrarium classes provide a space where she can relax with her loved ones, learn how to make a terrarium and take home her own mini jungle to add to her growing collection of plants. Plus, being surrounded by plants has been proven to help make everyone feel happier so having a terrarium by your mum’s side is guaranteed to make her smile every time she looks at it.

Another fantastic option is one of our perfume making classes in Sydney, Melbourne and beyond. Take Mum to a perfumery class, where she’ll be guided step-by-step on how to make her own signature scent. From floral or citrus notes to Christmas-inspired scents, the possibilities are endless as to what she can customise. By the end, you’ll soon be smelling that scent whenever she leaves the house!

For the adventure-seeking Mums

Next up are those adventurous Mums who love trying out new things and exploring different places. Why not surprise them with an outdoor paint and sip class in the park? These painting classes allow your mum to tap into her creative side while enjoying nature's beauty and sipping on her favourite beverage. If your mum is a foodie, guide her tastebuds on an exciting adventure through our wide range of cooking classes. From Indian cooking to pasta and pizza making, she'll get to learn new culinary skills, boost her confidence in the kitchen and have a blast eating all her delicious creations. Cooking classes are a great way to also learn about other different cultures and the history behind them, which is like travelling to that exact country without ever leaving your home this Christmas! Alternatively, if she is more of a wine-and-dine woman, consider gifting her a cheese and wine tasting tour. Not only will she get to sample delicious wines and cheeses but also head outside her local neighbourhood and discover a whole new world of delicious food, good company and of course, wine.

Looking for Christmas experience gifts for Mum who are keen crafters? A DIY arts and crafts workshop could be the perfect gift for her. From embroidery courses to jewellery making classes, these craft workshops offer many options for Mums who enjoy the satisfaction of creating something from scratch. For those Mums who are always on the lookout for some new home decor, consider gifting them a macrame workshop. Guided by her lovely teacher, she can learn how to twist macrame knots and transform them into a macrame plant hanger, hat hanger and much more! This relaxing class will not only keep her hands busy but also result in stunning pieces she can proudly display at home. If your mum is a DIY-er, sign her up for a pottery class! Whether she prefers wheel throwing or hand building clay, both pottery classes help her to sink her hands into clay, mould and shape it into her own unique ceramic pieces.
