In desperate need of some gift ideas to adequately say “thanks for giving me life” this Mother's Day? We’ve got you.
Go-To HQ has ditched the tried-and-true macaroni craft and store-bought bouquets, opting to celebrate their mums, grandmas, and mother figures with some seriously nice gifts.
Here’s what we’re giving mum/ grandma/ ourselves this year. (Mums of Go-To HQ, please stop reading!)
“My mum has recently become a new mum once more—now to a miniature dachshund called Ellie. Being replaced is difficult but buying her a knitted dog tee from Peter Alexander is not. You know what else is easy? Getting her Juicy Gel to go with it. Does she use it as a body wash? Yes. Was that its intention? Maybe not. But Lucia doesn't follow the rules and I love her for it.”
Chiara, Brand Education Lead
“I’ll be picking up the Pumped Up Skin Set for my mum. She is already a die-hard Very Luxe Face Cream fan, but is yet to try Much Plumper Skin, and I’m sure she’ll quickly love that as well. I’ll also be gifting her the Everyday Large Tote from July because she’s a lady on the go and she deserves it!”
Ailish, Brand Marketing Coordinator
“My mum is overseas, so unfortunately this year it is just going to be a long, warm phone call. However, if she were here, I would love to gift her De-Crease plus Juicy Gel, alongside a facial appointment at a nice spa place.”
Eva, Growth Marketing Manager
“I have a lot of new mums in my life, and the best gift I can give right now is a moment of peace! A bit of time to yourself is a must when everything is new and all-consuming—Mesa is a personal fav for massages and sauna sessions.”
Liz, Senior Graphic Designer
"This Mother’s Day, I’m spoiling the best mum there is with something as warm and dependable as she’s always been to me—a trusty winter puffer jacket to keep her snug through the season. She’s also getting her Go-To faves—Fancy Face and Very Luxe Face Cream because she deserves to feel every bit as radiant on the outside as she is within."
Jess, HR Manager
"Mum’s taken up oil painting in her retirement, so after a recent trip to the Northern Territory, I brought her back an original painting by Aboriginal artist Kay Baker, whose work reflects the complex kinship systems and cultural values of the Pitjantjatjara people. I wanted to celebrate Mum’s creativity as well as the wisdom carried by women through generations."
Kate, Graphic Designer
"This Mother’s Day, I’m gifting my mum a flight back to the UK for Christmas (because nothing beats a proper cup of tea together and a big hug)—plus a suitcase stuffed with all her favourite Go-To goodies. I’ll probably send her flowers too, because after years of living in Australia, I still get completely thrown by the fact we have different Mother’s Days. (It’s very confusing.)"
Nicola, Marketing Director
"There’s nowhere in the world my mum would rather be than pottering in her garden. So this Mother’s Day, I’ll be picking her up a Nifty Fifty Mineral SPF 50 and a new pair of her favourite Bobbi Ankle Gumboots from Merry People, she absolutely lives in these!"
Lauren, E-Commerce Coordinator
"This Mother’s Day, I’m gifting my mum Much Plumper Skin and Very Luxe Face Cream to help her stay hydrated and glowing through the colder months ahead. I’ve paired it with a voucher for her favourite nail salon and spa—she’s been really focused on self-care lately, and I wanted to add a little extra pampering to her month of self-love."
Mary, Office Manager
“My mum requested two things for Mother’s Day: A cruise to Antarctica and a Very Amazing Retinal. Due to budgetary restraints, I’ve opted for the latter. I’m going to pair it with a copy of Didion and Babitz by Lili Anolik (because I think she’ll love the drama) and Lip Hero (the perfect little treat).”
Kitty, Content Executive
