As someone who forgets making coffee most mornings, I cannot recommend an Ember mug enough. This smart, temperature-controlled mug can be set to your preferred drinking temperature, keeping your chosen beverage hot (or warm) for up to 1.5 hours when using the battery or a full day when paired with its charging coaster.

Save 33% (AU$399)
Tineco Floor One Switch S7 Stretch: was AU$1,198 now AU$799

If mum wants the convenience of a floor washer and a stick vac at the same time, Tineco's Floor One Switch S7 could be the dual tool you need. This 5-in-1 device doubles as a powerful wet-dry vacuum and a cordless, complete with an interchangeable motor, crevice tool and mini power brush.

Sperax Walking Pad RM-A-01: was AU$299.99 now AU$199

While we haven't reviewed this particular walking pad in our best under desk treadmills lineup, it does meet the criteria to be included in the running. The Sperax RM-A-01 walking pad houses three modes — walking, jogging and vibration — so you can meet your fitness goals while working from home.

As an avid Scuba fan, I can attest that this half-zip jacket exudes comfort. With prices for the coveted funnel neck starting at AU$149, this Scuba is made with a plush, cotton-blend fleece fabric that's naturally breathable and insanely soft against the skin. Plus, the oversized fit is perfect for gym days or reaching maximum coziness when it's chilly.

Lululemon Align High-Rise Pants (28-inch)
Lululemon Align High-Rise Pants (28-inch): AU$129

Designed for yoga, these leggings are perfect for everyday wear or exercise. And if mum works up a sweat, the breathable, sweat-wicking material will keep her comfortable by pulling moisture away from your skin. Available in a range of sizes and colours under the same listing.

Save 32% (AU$25)

Nike Vaporfly 4
Save 30% (AU$108)
Nike Vaporfly 4 : was AU$360 now AU$252

The best Nike running shoes won't be for every mum, but if the woman in your life heads out regularly to either wind down or keep fit, the brand makes some of the most comfortable and durable sneakers money can buy. Deciding on which pair to buy can be tricky (especially if mum is picky), so I've picked a popular style here in the Vaporfly 4 runners. It really comes down to price range and preference, though, so if your top pick won't tickle mum's fancy, I'd suggest grabbing her a Nike gift card instead.

Hoka Bondi 9
Save 7% (AU$22.05)
Hoka Bondi 9: was AU$300 now AU$277.95

Now, when it comes to runners, I always tend to choose ones with aesthetic appeal — and these Hoka Bondi 9s are right up my alley. If mum enjoys a stroll or a run, these sneakers will provide plenty of cushioning and superb traction with their durable outsoles. If this Rose Latte shade isn't mum's cup of tea, there are plenty of fun and vibrant colourways available under the same listing.

Gardening gift ideas

Birdfy Bath Pro
Save 20% (AU$110)
Birdfy Bath Pro: was AU$549.99 now AU$439.99

We all enjoy watching birds, but your grandma probably enjoys it most, so let her live out her bird lady fantasy with this Birdfy Bath Pro. With an AI-powered camera, she can identify her frequent visitors and record their visits.

Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder
Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder: AU$305.32

Much like the Birdfy Bath Pro above, if grandma doesn't quite have the room for it, you may want to consider a smart bird feeder instead. This one from Bird Buddy is highly rated, receiving 4 stars in our review, as it can also identify birds and track their feeding times.

Hair and skincare gift ideas

Dreame Gleam Hair Dryer
Save 60% (AU$101.03)
Dreame Gleam Hair Dryer: was AU$169 now AU$67.97

While not all of us can afford to give the gift of a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, an even cheaper alternative in the hairdryer space is the Dreame Gleam. It has a speedy 110,000 RPM motor, customisable settings and built-in ion technology for a frizz-free finish every time.

Shark FlexStyle
Save 38% (AU$152.99)
Shark FlexStyle: was AU$399.99 now AU$247

Dyson's Airwrap is a great hair tool — but its biggest downfall is that it's very expensive. This is what makes the Shark Flexstyle stand out as a great (read: cheaper) alternative. Now with a modest discount, it's down to AU$247 — a fantastic price for a full styling kit for all hair types.

Shark CryoGlow LED face mask
Save 28% (AU$250.99)
Shark CryoGlow LED face mask: was AU$899.99 now AU$649

If mum's invested in her skincare routine, it may be time to spoil her with a new addition in the Shark CryoGlow. Using a range of colours to treat different skin concerns, Shark's CryoGlow emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin at various depths and trigger biological reactions. These light settings are known as four different "treatments", which emit select LED colours to target different skin concerns. Now discounted by 28% on Amazon.

Lush Happy Mother's Day gift box
Lush Happy Mother's Day gift box: AU$108

I love Lush for several reasons, but largely due to its extensive range of gift boxes curated for every occasion — and this year's Mother's Day selection does not disappoint. I've highlighted the Happy Mother's Day gift box here as it has a variety of bath products in smaller sizes — including my favourite Crème Brûlée body scrub — so that your mum (or mother figure) can try out new products before committing to a bigger size.
