So Mother’s Day is coming up and you need a gift. Maybe you’ve done the same thing each year and are out of ideas, or maybe you don’t know where to start looking - don’t fear we’re here to help! Whether you’re in need of something new and unique or something classic and timeless, we’re here to help you find the right gift with Bituin’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide for 2022.
This year our focus is on showing appreciation and gratitude for all the mothers and mother figures in our lives. As such, our gift guide outlines gifts in ways we can appreciate and thank mums for all that they do, and everything that they still do.
The great thing about our gift guide is that you can either order these well ahead of time or last minute! We offer next day delivery across Melbourne. And if you’re super duper last minute we may be able to accomodate on the day if you order before midday (12pm).
Without further ado, here’s Bituin’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide:
Thank mum by pampering her
An oldie but a goodie, this gift is perfect for a mum that has no time to spend on pampering herself (or conversely, loves a good pamper sesh!). Send your mum a hamper of beautiful goodies sourced from local Australian businesses with positive sustainable values that align with Bituin. Not only will your mum get a beautiful range of products from hand and body lotions from ena and Cinnamon and Clove, we will also create a Florist’s choice bouquet that is unique for each person.

Thank mum by planting special memories
The beautiful Gift of Seeds by Sow’n’Sow will create memories and bring the joy of gardening to mum. This gift is great for mums who love to garden but also sentimental mum who love to cultivate precious memories.
Together with mum you can plant the seeds and watch as special flowers grow. We have a variety of these beautiful seeds that are non-hybrid, open pollinated, non GMO varieties.
As we approach the end of autumn, right now is the perfect time to (send and) plant the following varieties: poppies, sweet peas, forget-me-nots, and kitchen herbs. You’ll have beautiful flowers for the spring or even colourful blooms in winter.
The packing of the Gift of Seeds are just as amazing too! This Gift of Seeds features original illustrative artwork by Melbourne artist Daniella Germain and made in Australia. They also double as a Greeting card and are made of 100% post consumer waste recycled pulp. The seeds enclosed are also packaged in a recycled envelope.

Thank mum for lighting up your world
This Mother’s Day send a candle to let mum know they light up your world. Smells can be one of the most powerful reminders of memories good and bad - and I promise you these candles smell very good. From french bourbon to vanilla, salted caramel, australian bush and dry tobacco and hay - the candle range is sure to delight all mum’s senses. We have a range of candles made from Daily Burns, a small business based in Kyneton, Victoria. Daily Burns create soy candles that are hand poured, small batch and 100% natural.
Shop Candles by Daily Burns, prices range from $24.95 to $32.50
Thank mum for being a classic
If your mum is a classic (i.e. genuine, forever cool, memorable, simply the best - see urban dictionary meaning), then this is the classic gift for her. Send a huge bouquet of flowers and let her know how special she is. Make a statement that is both bold and simple.
Shop Bituin’s collection of Sure to Impress flower bouquets, prices range from $44 to $274
Not sure how to thank mum, but want to thank her anyway
Sometimes mum just know what’s best. So leave all the guesswork out of it and send her a gift card this Mother’s Day. This gift card can be used on any and all of Bituin’s products - both flowers and gifts.
Order the Bituin.com.au gift card, gift cards from $50
Thank mum by spending time with her
Ok, the simplest, easiest and maybe most meaningful way to thank mum for all she does is to spend time with her. And not just being in the same room - I mean quality time with mum.
Let’s face it it’s been a long time and a long two years of start and stop lockdowns. Whether you’ve stayed with mum or spent it apart how much of the time spent was quality time? This mother’s day, you can also choose to spend dedicated quality time with mum to thank them for all they do.
Maybe that means going out to brunch (here’s a list of great Melbourne brunch spots to try out), or maybe that means staying home and watching netflix all day together. Whatever quality time means for you and your mum, maybe this year you can give that a go.
Summary
Look, no matter what you get mum, I have a feeling she’s going to love it. That’s what simply makes them best, right? Their unconditional love and compassion for us. So don’t be too hard on yourself on having to find that perfect gift because I have a sneaking suspicion mum already thinks that's YOU. So go out there and do your best because it’s truly the thought that counts on Mother’s Day.
If you have any questions or comments do let us know. If you do choose a gift from us for Mother’s Day be sure to tag us on Instagram or Facebook to be featured on our page.
