5 Things Mums Actually Want for Mother’s Day (It’s Not a Vacuum Cleaner!)

Ah, Mother's Day—our annual chance to shower mums with love, appreciation, and probably a bunch of gifts that gather dust by June. Before you rush off to buy something with a plug or batteries, let’s take a look at what mums might actually enjoy. Spoiler alert: It's not kitchen appliances!

1. A Magic Wand for Laundry: Forget perfume; Mum wants a magic wand to tackle that ever-growing mountain of laundry. A flick of the wrist, and poof! All clothes are clean, folded, and miraculously put away. Bonus points if the wand can also find all those socks that mysteriously vanish into the laundry abyss.
2. Breakfast in Bed (That She Doesn’t Have to Clean Up) Serving mum breakfast in bed is a classic Mother’s Day treat. But this year, let’s sweeten the deal: no kitchen disasters left behind. Imagine her delight at a delicious breakfast accompanied by a sparkling clean kitchen. It's like seeing a unicorn in the wild.
3. An Actual Day Off This Mother’s Day gives the gift of doing nothing. No chores, no errands, no planning meals. Just a full day where Mum can do whatever she pleases, a day in pjs watching Netflix or a trip to the movies or a day out at her favourite winery. 
4. A Wine Subscription Forget Flowers! Gift Mum an endless supply of her favourite vino with a wine subscription. Every quarter, wine bottles arrive at her doorstep, making every day feel like Mother’s Day. It’s the gift that keeps giving and ensures Mum can unwind with a glass of the good stuff whenever the mood strikes. Cheers to that!
5. A Delicious Restaurant Lunch - Trade in the traditional breakfast in bed for a gourmet lunch at her favourite restaurant. Let Mum dine like the queen she is, with no dishes to worry about afterwards. Honestly, any meal she didn't have to cook (or clean up after!) is a surefire hit.

This Mother’s Day, we hope you show your Mum some love in ways that make her day truly special. And remember, the best gift might be your time and a few good laughs together. Happy Mother's Day!
