This year, Mother's Day falls on Sunday the 11th of May, which means you've still got ample time to seek out the best Mother's Day gift ideas in Sydney! While most Mums will tell their kids that they "don't want anything", a thoughtful gift that shows how much you care never goes astray.
Ready to make May 11th a day to remember? We’ve organised a guide to our best Mother's Day gift ideas in 2025 so you can stress less while you treat Mum to the best!
Mother's Day gifts for the earth-loving Mum
If your mum loves nothing more than pottering around in her garden, she's going to love these Mother's Day present ideas that are perfect for green thumbs! Sustainably-minded Mums are wonderful but sometimes, their holistic approach to life and material goods can make searching for conventional Mother's Day gift ideas a little more difficult. Thankfully, with so many incredible things to do in Sydney, you don’t have to stick with the traditional Mother's Day gifts of flowers. Even though Mother's Day flowers are a good call, there are ways to expand on that idea and offer your mum some of the most unique experiences Sydney has to offer.
If your mother is partial to a green thumb, give her two thumbs up and check out our gardening and floristry workshops! Whether it’s indoor or outdoor plants she loves, we’ve got perfect Mother's Day gift ideas and workshops for her to grow her gardening skills in a fun and informative way. Mum can learn the Japanese art of flower arranging with an Ikebana class, learn how to make a bouquet, create a little succulent oasis with a DIY terrarium building workshop or make a gorgeous Kokedama moss ball.
As far as Mother's Day gift ideas go, our plant and floristry classes offer you some of the best things to do in Sydney for Mother's Day. They also make a lovely little upgrade to the Mother's Day flowers you were going to buy her anyway!
Mother's Day presents for the artsy Mum
Not every Mum loves to paint, but the ones that do tend to really get into it and love spending time indulging in arts and crafts. These Sydney workshops will set them on the path to artistic self-discovery in no time! Whether it’s pottery, painting, or even Kintsugi, we’ve got some of the best Mother's Day gifts in Sydney when it comes to getting crafty!
A classic Mum activity is pottery, and although there’s a high chance that your mother has already done pottery, there’s an even higher chance she’d want to do it again. One way or another, pottery workshops make for fantastic gifts for Mum. Whether it’s wheel throwing pottery or hand built ceramic art you’re looking at, there are benefits to both when it comes to experience gifts for Mum. Hand building pottery offers a little bit more creative freedom as you play with squishy clay and wheel throwing is an enjoyable activity that allows you to craft highly professional-looking and practical pieces such as vases and bowls with relative ease.
There are also so many painting classes to be found in Sydney, so if Mum is looking to brush up on her painting, she can do so in an inclusive and relaxing environment, all with a glass of wine in hand. Gift Mum a paint and sip class or a fluid art workshop where she can really bring out her creative side and let all her worries go!
Gift ideas for foodie Mums
Nothing beats Mum’s cooking but with Sydney cooking workshops she can learn how to make something entirely new from scratch! With all the staples like Italian pizza cooking and pasta making workshops, there are plenty of Mother's Day gifts for Mums who have an appetite for learning.
If you’re looking for something more celebratory, try our dumpling and cocktail making class at Honka Bar + Eats! Situated in Kings Cross just near the harbour, this is a Mother's Day gift that’s sure to get your mum partying with good food, good booze and good company!
Help Mum travel the world and experience new cultures all from the comfort of a kitchen in Sydney with Japanese cooking classes or French dessert making workshops. She can learn everything from how to make hearty ramen to how to make sweet and delicate macarons. With our diverse cooking classes in Sydney, everyone will be tipping their chef’s hat to Mum in no time!
Try vintage cake decorating with Mum...
"So fun! Anna was engaging and I liked how we got a demonstration before starting ourselves. There was also assistance and tips provided when we got stuck. The cake and frosting was delicious. My mum and I really enjoyed the class and I’d recommend it for Mother’s Day, birthday parties or as a gift!" - Digital Marketing Lead, Alina Ta.

There are plenty of Sydney beauty and fragrance classes that will make your mother glow! From fragrant soy candle making classes and perfume workshops, there’s a wide selection of beauty-themed gifts for Mum out there.
If you’re looking to treat your mum to something she can use every day, then try an essential oil making class. Essential oils are all the rage nowadays with their many uses and natural ingredients. Mum can enjoy customising her own relaxing blend which she can use for sleeping, feeling more energised or even more positive.
Mother's Day ideas for every type of Mum
If your mum has a broad range of interests and you're not sure what she's most like to receive on May 8th, treat her to an experience gift card! Unlike gift cards for department stores, our experience vouchers can be redeemed on any in-person workshop, DIY craft kit or online class of her choosing. That's right – she can choose her own adventure this Mother's Day. Why not secure a spot for two and head along to one of our Sydney workshops together? You could learn to throw pottery on the wheel, arrange flowers like a professional florist, discover how to make gnocchi from scratch or ever try your hand at glass blowing!
Try Turkish mosaic lamp making with Mum...
"Had a great class with my mum and sister. The teacher was very warm and friendly, the space was beautiful, had good tunes and loved the tea and coffee" - Class Production Lead, Jana Lepojevic.
With so many fun things to do in Sydney, don't settle for the same old Mother's Day lunch at the same old restaurant. Soak up some quality time together to make the most of Mother's Day 2025. After all, it's the meaningful moments of togetherness that count the most.
