Mother’s Day is just around the corner!
There’s just over a week to go until Mother’s Day – one of the only days of the year Mum can officially get out of doing anything by simply saying three magic words: “It’s Mother’s Day.”
It’s a day to celebrate all they do and show them the love and appreciation they deserve.
Celebrating all kinds of Mums
Mums come in all forms – maybe yours is a grandma, a solo dad wearing both hats, or you might be lucky enough to have two mums (double celebrations – whoop!).
To us, a mum is anyone who:
- puts on plasters
- makes lunch boxes
- gives cuddles (and time-outs)
- always makes sure your favourite jeans are clean
- and loves you unconditionally.
Let Her Call the Shots
On Mother’s Day, Mum is fully entitled to:
- unlimited cups of coffee (or wine)
- zero housework unless she wants to
- handmade cards and brekkie in bed
- full control of the TV remote and car stereo – ALL. DAY. LONG.
From Our Kitchen to Yours
At Molly Woppy, we’re big believers in celebrating life’s special moments with food made from the heart.
Our cookies are mixed with love, a touch of cheekiness, and a whole lot of fun — designed to bring joy to your table and the people you love.
Gifting Tip:
make the sweetest Mother’s Day treat. Simple, thoughtful, and guaranteed to make her smile.
Ideas from the Molly Woppy Mums
We asked our team what they really want for Mother’s Day — here’s what they said:
- A homemade breakfast in bed, complete with flowers from the garden
- A quiet afternoon alone while someone else takes the kids out
- A surprise care package (yes, with Molly Woppy cookies inside!)
- A family day out – markets, brunch, movies, museums, or a mini road trip
- Lunch at a fave café, vineyard, or somewhere new
- A proper spa day: facial, massage, nails, brows — all of it
- A potluck dinner with the siblings
- A weekend visit if Mum lives out of town
- Afternoon tea with takeaway coffee, cookies, and a bunch of blooms
- A weekend away in a bach — puzzles, walks, shared food, and memory-making
No matter what you do, the goal is the same: make her feel special.
