Celebrate Your Mum This Mother’s Day

...and all the beautiful mum-figures in your life

Mother’s Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a chance to pause and shower some serious love on the women who’ve nurtured, supported, and shaped us. Whether that’s your mum, step-mum, grandma, big sister, a motherly friend, or even you (yes, you!), this day is about celebrating the people who show up with open arms, warm hugs, and unconditional love.

Here are some thoughtful (and fun) ways to say “thank you” this Mother’s Day—no fancy plans required.

1. Write Her a Heartfelt or Handmade Card

Craft might not be your thing, but trust us—there’s something really special about a handwritten, handmade card. It doesn’t have to be perfect or Pinterest-worthy. Just tell your mum how much she means to you. She’ll hang onto it forever (maybe even pop it on the fridge). If you’re feeling creative, bring out the coloured pens, stickers, or washi tape. If not, a simple letter will still mean the world.

2. Breakfast in Bed (Yes, It’s Still a Winner)

An oldie but a goodie. Whether it's a fancy brunch platter or a humble cuppa and toast with jam, the gesture is what counts. Add a flower from the garden or a little handwritten menu if you're feeling extra.

3. Make a Video or Slideshow of Your Favourite Moments

You don’t need fancy editing skills—just a phone, some happy snaps, and maybe a few tears as you go through the memories. Use apps like CapCut or InShot to create a little reel of your favourite times together. Bonus points if you post it to Instagram and tag her (cue the happy-cry emoji).

Can’t be with Mum this Mother’s Day? Send her a video message straight from the heart. Whether it's a quick “I love you” or a longer montage of memories, it’ll absolutely make her day—and she can rewatch it whenever she needs a little pick-me-up.

4. Spoil Her with Coupons or Gift Cards

If you know her favourite store, cafe, or salon, a thoughtful gift card never goes astray. You could even make your own “Mum Coupons” (free hugs, coffee dates, one night off from dinner duty… you get the idea). 

5. Build Her a Haircare Bundle with her Favourite LOHY. Products

If your mum (or mum figure) has coils, curls, waves or loves to create texture, a custom bundle of her fave LOHY. goodies will make her feel seen and pampered.

Why not use one of our Travel Totes (with a brand new design) and fill it with goodies! 

• A Detangler Brush to glide through knots like a dream

• Our Mini Range Styling Products—perfect for travel, gym bags, or just sampling something new

• A pair of Volume + Root Lift Combs to add that volume and lift she loves

• And of course, our super soft Curl Hydration Glove— dries the curls without the frizz!

LOHY. Accessories are perfect for bundling into a one-of-a-kind gift. And because we love Mums—enjoy a free gift on orders over $99. It's the perfect way to spoil your Mum this Mothers Day. 

6. Give Her the Gift of Your Time

Honestly, this is the big one. A few hours of undivided, uninterrupted time can mean more than anything wrapped in a bow. Go for a walk, take her out to brunch, or just sit and enjoy a cuppa with her favourite cake (extra points if you bake it yourself!). She’ll remember that time more than any gift.

7. Cook Her Favourite Dinner (And Yes—Do the Washing Up)

Sometimes the simplest gestures are the most powerful. Surprise her with her favourite meal, set the table nicely, light some candles and let her relax. And don’t let her near the kitchen for cleanup. That part’s all you!

8. Still Living at Home? Clean the House!

We’re serious. This might be the best gift of all. Tell Mum to put her feet up with a book or her favourite show while you get to work. Vacuum, fold the washing, wipe down the kitchen benches... whatever you do, she’ll feel so appreciated. Even if she insists she’s “fine” and tries to help (she will!), just keep cleaning.

9. Make a Mum-Inspired Playlist

Got songs that remind you of road trips, bedtime routines, or her fave music from back in the day? Make a playlist and send it to her. Or better yet, listen to it with her while baking, driving, or just chatting.

10. And a Big Shoutout to the Dad-Mums

To the dads doing it solo—we see you. To the ones who are brushing hair into ponytails, packing school lunches, cheering on the sidelines, giving warm hugs, and doing all the things that might not traditionally fall under “dad duties”… this one’s for you.

You’re showing up every day, and you deserve to be celebrated too. So if you’ve got a dad-mum in your life—send him love this Mother’s Day. Drop off a meal, send a text, give him a call. Let him know he’s seen and appreciated.

Because being a parent is a whole job in itself—but doing both roles? That’s something pretty incredible.

11. Celebrate All the Mums in Your Life

Let’s not forget—Mother’s Day can be tough for many. Whether you're missing your mum, navigating a complicated relationship, or have friends who are longing to become mothers—acknowledging the day in a way that feels right for you matters too.

This is a time to celebrate all the mum figures: step-mums, aunties, friends who are mums, the friend who acts like a mum, fur baby mums, and the amazing mum you are. There’s no “one way” to be a mother, and there’s definitely no one-size-fits-all way to celebrate this day.

However you choose to mark the day, make it about love, about showing up, about gratitude, and most of all, about making sure the women who care for everyone else finally get a little of that care back.

Happy Mother’s Day, curl friends 💛
