A Beautiful Bouquet: A Classic Mother's Day Gift
Of course this had to be on our list!
A classic Mother’s Day gift, you can never go wrong with a beautiful bouquet of blooms.
There's a bunch for every budget and style preference. Most mums tend to have a favourite flower — from roses to lilies, sunflowers and dahlias, you can take your pick from the wide variety of arrangements available at Floraly.
As Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for florists, we recommend getting your flower order in as early as possible to save yourself a lot of last-minute panic on the day. The good news is, you can pre-book your Floraly Mother's Day flower delivery right now, to take all the stress out of getting flowers in time.
When you buy Mother's Day flowers from Floraly, your blooms of choice will arrive on mum's doorstep in our beautiful signature gift box. We even include a free card with your order so you can send mum a lovely Mother's Day message — perfect if you can't physically be with her on the day.
As an added bonus, mum will be glad to know that with every bouquet you purchase, you’re also buying a meal for someone who needs it, via our friends at OzHarvest.
Not sure which flowers to get? We've got a few recommendations:
Our "The Mum" bouquet was designed with Mum in mind, with beautiful big mumma chrysanthemums and luscious roses. For something guaranteed to wow, The Paris is always a good idea — this pink and white pastel dream is a real show-stopper. Or for the mum who prefers something a little less flashy, you can't go wrong with our Seasonal Natives.

A Custom-Scented Soy Wax Candle: A Personalised Mother's Day Gift
We're sure mum has received a candle or two as a gift over the years. But has she ever had a candle custom made just for her?
Sent Studio’s innovative Candle Bar experience allows you to do just this!
All you have to do is complete a short quiz, and the team at Sent will create a wholly unique fragrance that is meaningful to mum, whether it's based on a specific memory you have of her or a fragrance containing all of her favourite notes.
The custom label means you can put your mum's name on the candle itself, and include a short description of the inspiration behind the fragrance — how cool is that?
The candles are all hand-poured in Sydney, using 100% pure soy wax and real wood wicks for a safe, clean burn. The wicks even crackle and glow like a wood fire for the ultimate cosy experience.
Now mum can enjoy a relaxing time at home with the one-of-a-kind scent you’ve created just for her, and every time she lights it she'll be reminded of you.
