Signed, sealed, delivered; Remix's Mother's Day Gift Guide

Remix's 2020 Mother’s Day gift ideas. 

Mother's Day is officially on its way, and without the last-minute mother-daughter manicure date or family brunch outing to fall back on, organisation is key.

Finding the perfect gift for the special woman has always been a daunting task, but there’s nothing like a little social distancing to really up the stakes. 

Flowers are a classic choice, and still available under Level 3 restrictions, but if a bunch is the best choice for mum, consider booking a bouquet ASAP, as we have a feeling they’ll be in tall order come May. And hey, chocolate is always a classic New Zealand way of saying we love ya mum! Either way, the best mother's day gift ideas always come from the heart. We're adamant that jewellery can represent that, in some way...

 

But no matter what makes mum tick, we’ve carefully curated a list of chic and practical pressies that can be delivered straight to the door, coronavirus be damned.
