Mother’s Day Gift Ideas From Local Businesses I Love

If you're like me, every year Mother's Day somehow sneaks up quicker than expected. (Didn't we just pack away the Christmas tree?!) This year, instead of a last-minute panic buy at a department store, why not treat your mum, or the mother figure in your life (or like me TREAT YO'SELF) with something thoughtful and locally made?

Here are some of my favourite picks from small South Aussie businesses doing amazing things:

1. Unseasoned Greetings - Cards That Say What You’re Really Thinking

Shop Mother’s Day Cards

Forget cheesy messages and generic rhymes — Unseasoned Greetings is serving up cards that are as real (and hilarious) as your mum’s life advice. Whether she’s the "wine mum," "plant mum," or "mum who says she doesn’t want a gift but actually does," there’s a card here for her.

Bonus points: They're a local biz doing handmade cards with big personality.

2. Seadragon Organic - Luxurious Skin & Body Care That’s Good for Her and the Planet

Explore Seadragon Organics

Try the travel sized minis for Mum

If your mum is the type who deserves to be pampered (hint: that’s all mums), Seadragon Organics is a no-brainer. Their products are packed with natural ingredients, sustainably sourced, and smell heavenly. Think lush skincare essentials made right here in South Australia by passionate cosmetic chemist Mandy Hawtin. 100% guilt-free gifting.

3. Rustic Wren — Beautiful Handcrafted Leather Goods

Visit Rustic Wren

If your mum appreciates quality craftsmanship (or just loves gorgeous things), Rustic Wren’s handmade leather goods will seriously impress.They create stunning journals, handbags, and artist rolls from premium leather — timeless pieces that will only get better with age. It's the kind of gift she’ll use, love, and treasure forever.

4. Ginny Pig Distillery — Mother’s Day Gin Basket (Because She Deserves a Drink)

Shop Ginny Pig Distillery Mother's Day Basket

Shop South Australian Small Batch Gin

Is your mum a gin lover? (Or needs to be after raising you?) Then Ginny Pig Distillery’s Mother's Day Basket is the pick.Locally distilled, gorgeously packaged, and dangerously delicious — it’s a gift that says, "Thanks for putting up with me."

5. Floss Adelaide — Sipping Pretty Shimmer Drink Garnish

Shop Sipping Pretty Shop Fairy Floss Cakes

Want to really level up Mum’s Mother’s Day cocktail (or mocktail)? Floss Adelaide’s Sipping Pretty shimmer drink garnishes add a magical sparkle to any glass. These edible garnishes are super easy to use and turn any drink into a total moment. Perfect paired with a bottle from Ginny Pig Distillery... or, honestly, just for making Sunday brunch a little extra fabulous.
