Frequently asked questions

When is Mother's Day in New Zealand in 2025?

Mother's Day always falls on the second Sunday in May. In New Zealand, Mother's Day in 2025 falls on Sunday, May 11.

Mother's Day is a yearly celebration of Mums, mother figures, and motherhood in general. It's a great way to show Mum that you appreciate all the things she does for you, whether it's giving you lifts, cooking you dinner, helping you move house, and anything in between.

Mother's Day celebration ideas

Mother's Day can be celebrated in any way you like, but traditionally, Mums and mother figures will receive a gift on this day, which is also accompanied by an outing, or a day of relaxing. It doesn't need to be expensive or fancy, and not every Mother's Day activity will cater to every mum's interests. If you want to treat Mum this year, all you really need is to shower her with love and appreciation.

Here are some ways to spend Mother's Day this year, from activities involving the whole family, to giving Mum some time to be pampered.

- Mother's Day brunch:
Whether you take her out to her favourite cafe, or make her breakfast in bed, treating Mum to brunch on Mother's Day is a tried and true classic. You can spice up your brunch outing this year by taking her to a new cafe or bottomless brunch. If you're serving Mum something you've made at home, trying a new recipe or practising your plating skills is sure to make her morning.

- Movie date:
If Mum loves to binge the latest TV series or wants to go see the newest flick that everyone's raving about, taking her on a movie date is a great way to celebrate Mother's Day. Whether you take Mum out to the cinema or turn the lounge room into a home theatre, she's sure to appreciate the time you take to spend Mother's Day with her.

- Self-care day:
Spoil Mum this Mother's Day by booking her a massage, a trip to a spa, or taking her to get her hair or nails done. If she would rather stay home, gifts like skincare, makeup and even hair styling tools will have her looking and feeling her best all year round.

What kind of present to buy Mum on Mother's Day?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Mother's Day gifts, so finding the perfect gift can take a bit of research. As experts in gift-giving, we've gone and found a variety of different Mother's Day gift ideas to help you treat Mum to something she'll definitely love.

If you're stuck on what to actually buy Mum, you can always go the traditional route with flowers, pyjamas or beauty products. If you know that she would prefer something a little less traditional, gifts like books, new tech, or even tickets to see her favourite musician or musical are all great ideas.
