Whether she’s a fan of adventure-filled experiences or likes to sit back with some bubbles and be pampered, these ideas are sure to earn you massive brownie points!

Treat her to fine dining on a cruise

If mum loves the water, treat her to a fine dining cruise on the great Sydney Harbour. The perfect balance between adventure and serenity, these Mother’s Day cruises can be the ticket to her heart. Cruise under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Sydney Opera House, Fort Denison, Kirribilli House, and much more, as you cherish special moments with the entire fam. 

Along with exceptional food, these fan-favourite Mother’s Day lunch cruises also offer a variety of drinks options, thus elevating your dining experience to even further heights. Oh and don’t forget to click those ‘pinterest-perfect’ photos of you and the gang (and a few just with your mum!) against the glorious city skyline! Disembark with a treasure trove of unforgettable moments!

Create a masterpiece together

Mother’s Day is a perfect time to get creative with gift-giving, but what if the gift itself embodies creativity?If your mum is a fan of all things artistic, why not sign her up for a pottery or painting class? You'll have the chance to get the creative juices flowing and make something special together while having a laugh along the way. And let's be real, nothing says "I love you" like a hand-made masterpiece. 

This can go in two ways – either you can make one-of-a-kind art or craft that she can hold on forever or just have immense fun making a mess together! Either way, this will be something she won’t see coming! Bonus points if you can get your dad to tag along and end up making a family masterpiece!

Battle it out

How about some good ol’ fashioned family competition? Take your mum and siblings to a mini-golf or a bowling alley and leave it all out on the ‘field’! Let’s face it, when was the last time you had the entire fam together and had an all-out healthy competition and had the time of your lives. Challenge your mum to a game of her choice and let the fun begin! Your mum gets to let her hair down, and have a laugh, while also getting a bit competitive! Just make sure to let her win at times or at least come close! Nothing brings a family together like a healthy dose of family competition!

Make the most of Sydney outdoors

If the weather is favourable, nothing beats a classic picnic with the whole squad! Pack a basket full of mom’s favourite treats and head to one of Sydney’s many enchanting parks or beaches or even islands. Spread out a blanket, bask in the sun, sip on refreshing fizzies, and enjoy each other’s company. 

You can take this ‘picnic’ idea to even further heights by making it a staycation in natural bushland regions like the Hunter Valley. You can spend a whole weekend tasting some of the state’s best wines while enjoying pristine Australian scenery! The perfect way to pamper the mum, spend the whole day inside orchid houses, explore the many gardens, wineries, and more, while indulging in the finest local produce!

There are endless ways to make mum feel like the queen she is, but the most important thing to remember when making your choice is how you get to spend quality time with her and make her feel loved. Bringing the whole family together is the best possible way to make her feel special.
