Mother's Day lands on Sunday, May 8 this year. Your time is running out, so-called favourite child. Fortunately, there are still plenty of deals on great gifts for mum that will arrive by Sunday. You can't really go wrong with discounted deals on Apple products or the gift-solving powers of flowers. If your mamma isn't really an Apple adopter, or if you're looking for something less expensive, Amazon AU is offering some decent discounts on games that are right up her alley!
Mother's Day Gift Idea
They say a change is just as good as a holiday. And so, in lieu of the ship ticket to Kokomo she thinks she wants, why not brighten mum's day with a flashy new DualSense controller or an eye-catching outer shell instead? There are some awesome colours available. Also, nobody gets cruise covid this way.
Mother's Day Gift Idea
Score a pair of Apple AirPods 2 wireless earbuds for the lowest price we've seen. These AirPods include a wired case that you plug in via USB Type-C. The AirPods 3 costs around $259 on Amazon right now, and we can safely say that it's definitely not worth the price premium over this one.
Mother's Day Gift Idea
The Series 7 is Apple's latest and greatest watch. Today, both the 41mm and 45mm models are heavily discounted on Amazon (cheaper than Black Friday). The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it's 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG.

Got a Master Builder of a Ma? Make her day with this unique, beautiful flower display model made entirely from LEGO pieces. Vase is not included, otherwise everything is awesome. We've also included some real flowers in here for you traditionalists. They're probably the better option if your mum has PTSD from years of treading on your LEGO.
Mother's Day Gift Idea
For a game with a high percentage chance of being dug by a mum, you really can't go past Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This is far and away one of the most relaxing games to grace the Nintendo Switch. There's near infinite replayability in this building, decorating, fishing, farming, collecting, exploring sim, and the best thing of all is that you can do it at whatever pace you feel like.
There's no shortage of mum-appeasing options when it comes to PlayStation's vast games catalog. All that being said, you really can't go wrong with Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. Insomniac has been around the Ratchet and Clank block plenty of times before, but Rivet and other new characters add so much charm, wit, and heart to this beloved franchise.
Mother's Day Gift Idea
Do you have a mother who runs on Steam? Games we mean—not the stuff that comes out her ears when you spill a drink or opt against eating the dinner she's just spent six hours making. Though we can't point to an official Mother's Day sale just yet, this time of year is still a gold mine for scoring something cheap that will make her chill out. A little.
Mother's Day Gift Idea
So, mumsie is into Microsoft? Well, why not consider upgrading her to the current gen with a Series S? Alternatively, we've cherry-picked some games that should keep her happy (and hopefully distracted so you can raid the fridge or skive off housework, now that The Eye of Sauron isn't keeping tabs on everything).
