Mother’s Day 2026 is on May 10 and Mum’s all over 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ will hopefully be eating breakfast in bed, wearing macaroni necklaces and treated to some special gifts from their loved ones….
BUT what does Mum REALLY want???
We did a quick whip around the many Mums who are part of the KiA team and below is a list of what’s on our wish list this year. And yes, this might be a very extravagant way for us to drop hints for our own lovely families, but might as well help you AND help ourselves right? A lot of these are local South Australian businesses so you can spoil Mum AND support a small business. Win/Win for everyone!
Mother’s Day Weekend Pop-Up at Lily West

Findon Shopping Centre Carpark
This Mother’s Day weekend, Lily West Floral DesignersÌýis bringing the blooms in a big way! They’re taking over the Findon Shopping Centre carpark with a huge pop-up flower store, filled to the brim with premium arrangements, bouquets, and vases made with love and care.
The talented florists at Lily West have poured countless hours into creating a stunning collection throughout the week, just so you can pick the perfect piece for theÌýspecial person in your life.

And if flowers aren’t their thing? No worries. Their main store will be open and fully stocked with gorgeous gifts, lush plants, and thoughtful goodies to make anyone feel truly celebrated.
Helen’s Mini Worlds in the 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ CBD is the perfect store for Mums of kids or Mums of plants! It’s indoor plant heaven, but it’s also so much more than an indoor plant store!
Yes you can grab everything you need for your indoor plants at Helen’s Mini Worlds, including pots, plant care and of course plants themselves, but check out the MAKE YOU OWN TERRARIUM BAR! Here you can pop in (no bookings needed) and make your own terrarium – it’s so much fun and doubles as both an activity for Mum AND a gift for Mum.
If you’re after a fun Mother’s Day gift that’s a little different, this Frida Las Vegas towel is such a good pick! Proudly designed and ethically made in Australia, it’s big (100cm x 146cm!), super lightweight and dries in no time. Made from moisture-wicking microfibre, it’s perfect for beach days, the gym, or throwing in a suitcase for a holiday. Plus, it folds up small, so Mum won’t be lugging around a heavy, soggy towel.
The bold artwork is by the amazing Frida Las Vegas and printed on the top side — it’s bright, punchy and guaranteed to make a statement wherever it goes.
This relaing and indulgent hair spa includes hair health consultation, a double shampoo, a 20/40 minute massage, Kerastase products tailored to your hair and a 5 minute blast dry. Using only high end products to give you the best results. This is for the Mums who wish the wash and massage at the hairdresser was never ending. There is honestly nothing quite like this dreamy feel good experience!
As Mums we all need a drink sometimes! Heaps Good Gin is for the Mum who enjoys FANTASTIC gin and loves to support local – they are made right here in SA and even have a local twist on some of their specialties such as the Victor Harbor Gin or The Hills Gin.
And as if that wasn’t good enough, they make a GINSPRESSO! It is delish… and on the back of the bottle is a QR code for heaps of recipes ideas.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, they have released their Heaps Good Tinnies too! Perfect for the Mum who isn’t too posh…Ìý
If you aren’t sure which one to choose, it really doesn’t matter – they are all incredible, made with local ingredients and are also just so darn Instagrammable. Perfect for the modern day Mum!

Treat Mum to some rest and relaxation
A very popular choice from the KiA Mums was a voucher for a massage, float or pamper session. Maybe a voucher from , a facial from , or just a 60 min full body massage from her favourite place. It might take her 12 months to find the time to redeem it but just knowing that an hour or two of alone time is ready and waiting whenever she needs it is a gift in itself.
Lula Eye Masks
Like a warm hug for your eyes and mind, this self warming eye mask starts warming up the moment you open it. Lie back, get ready to relax and unfold the mask. When the mask meets the air it begins to warm up, staying at a comforting temperature and releasing the scent of Lavender, so you can drift into a daydream or a deep night’s sleep. A beautiful gift of self-care, the scent of Lavender can help relax, de-stress and assist with sleep.

The Lonley Mum...a depressing title but sometimes SO true! If you're new to an area, moved to 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ from interstate or overseas, have no friends that have children or just out of sync with friends that do - coffee dates with just the company of your newborn can be mind numbing and just bloody lonely. I was so lucky with my first baby that a couple of my friends also had babies around the same time. Every Monday we went for a huge pram walk and then had brunch at a café and chatted till were given dirty looks to order more coffee or lunch or leave. It was, and still is, one of the best memories I have of maternity leave. It saved my sanity every Monday to be able to talk about all the things going on, ask a million questions, answer a million more and just hang out with other people who were also sleep deprived, sore, tired, emotional and feeling clueless and sometimes even useless.
