FAQs

Mother's Day in New Zealand is celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year, just like in Australia. Therefore, in 2025, Mother's Day will be on Sunday, May 11th.

This Mother's Day, consider gifts that give Mum the gift of time and ease. Perfect gift ideas for mum could include a coffee machine for perfect mornings, a helpful kitchen appliance like an air fryer or electric cooker, or appliances that tackle chores like a dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer, allowing her more time for relaxation and family.

To personalise Mother's Day for your mum or mother figure, consider her unique interests and preferences. Instead of generic gifts, think about what she truly enjoys – perhaps a home-cooked meal featuring her favourite dishes, a curated playlist of songs that are meaningful to your relationship, or a scrapbook filled with cherished memories. Spending quality time together doing an activity she loves, like a walk in nature or watching her favourite movie, can also make the day special. The most personal touch often comes from heartfelt gestures and showing you've put thought into making the day uniquely hers.
