Flowers, treats or lovely gifts? Maybe your mother – or a mother figure in your life – deserves all three. Or maybe it’s time to simply treat yourself! We’ve rounded up a range of gifts and experiences to celebrate Mother’s Day 2024 this May.
The Rewild range of wines
For the eco-forward mum, look no further than Rewild Wines, produced by sustainability industry leader Duxton Vineyards. Rewild offers an affordable, fresh, vibrant, and delicious wine range that is 100% vegan friendly and doesn’t cost the earth.
Why not indulge to a night in and a bottle of Rewild Red Blend this Mother’s Day – with dark fruits and spicey aromas on the nose and a soft, juicy palate with fine tannin structure and excellent length of flavour. A very bright, fruit forward wine with a rich profile, each sip is sure impress! RRP $9.99. Available across Dan Murphy’s and select BWS stores nationally.
The Curatif Cocktail Club
Make this Mother’s Day truly unforgettable by treating mum to a membership with The Club Monthly Cocktail Box. With each delivery, she’ll experience the luxury of a world-class cocktail bar in the comfort of her own home, creating cherished memories with every sip. From classic favourites to innovative creations, each cocktail in The Club Monthly Cocktail Box is a masterpiece in mixology, designed to impress even the most discerning palate. Whether mum prefers a refreshing Mojito, a sophisticated Old Fashioned, or something entirely new, The Club has her covered. One-time purchase is $45.00 and an on-going subscription is $40.50.
The InFizz™ Range from Breville
Unlike SodaSteam which specializes in sparkling water, InFizz infuses sparkle into almost every drink. The difference is the FusionCap™ technology which allows for precise carbonation control, ensuring your drinks are bubbly to perfection without the mess of over fizzing. We tried the latest InFizz Fusion model. We really like the look (super classy in a few different colours/styles), it has a stainless steel body and robust lever. With a SodaSteam you take off the cap, buzz, then put the cap back on. InFizz literally means you don’t do that. The cap ensures nothing is lost. We tried it out with water (easy!) but then a few cocktails. It’s so great to make them in advance of a dinner party, store in the fridge and our dark n stormy’s are ready to go! To buy Appliances Online $288 on special. Don’t forget they offer same day delivery in metro areas (order by midday) and their Value Promise to price match an identical product from an Approved Retailer.
Tefal Easy Fry Grill & Steam XXL FW2018
Dressed in super-sleek black, this airfryer boasts a removable water tank for steam generation a generous 6.5L capacity, for family-sized meals and its seven automatic presets take the guesswork out of cooking with manual controls for time and temperature. We have spent a whole weekend cooking with it. It is a three in one – fry’s, steams and grills. It’s one of our favourites in the market for speed, performance, large basket size (bit minimises counter space) and ease of cleaning. See our full review here. Buy at Appliances Online
They will also remove and recycle old appliances, provide same day if you order by midday in metro areas and offer a Value Promise to price match an identical product from an Approved Retailer. RRP $550.

818 Tequilla Blanco
Despite its short existence, 818 Tequila, championed by supermodel Kendall Jenner, pays homage to her hometown area code in Calabasas, nestled within the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. It has taken the tequila world by storm winning accolades anonymously before its release and a sip really shows a stunning quality. Their añejo even secured the Chairman’s Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. We also like that they have partnered with S.A.C.R.E.D. so that waste from agave plants is transformed into usable materials. The flavour is super smooth, flavours of nougart, coconut and citrus with no grittiness. We tried it neat over rocks and it also makes a sensational marg. Available for purchase online or in-store from Dan Murphy’s, Liquorland and First Choice. RRP $100.$

High Tea at the Hyatt Regency
