Mother’s Day 2026: 9 Food & Lifestyle Gifts That Will Make Mum Feel Extra Special

A one-stop guide for all the food and lifestyle gifts that we think any mum will appreciate this Mother’s Day 2026.

Mother’s Day 2026 is just days away but don’t panic! We’re here to help! For those of you who never fail to spoil mum with a gift or two, pay close attention. This gift guide was made for the mums who love to treat themselves with some delicious indulgence, sweat sessions, or trips abroad. To make things easier for you, we’ve categorised the gifts by personality type, so you’ll be sure to pick out the right one for mum. Happy shopping!

 

FOR THE MUM WITH A SWEET TOOTH

Let’s start easy! Simple and effective, a sweet treat is always a great way to mark the day whether they come in the form of cakes, chocolates, or even cookies. Without a doubt, our pick of chocolates for the occasion would come from Venchi’s Cremino Chocolate Series. Each piece features a three-layer design, each a symbol of harmony, balance and completeness. Flavours-wise, you can choose from Pistachio, Pistachio Dark, Caramel Gold, or Extra Dark. 

On the other hand, if mum is the type to go for cookies instead of chocolatey bites, Chonky’s Supermama Chonk cookies will do the trick. Available in Rustic Multiseed or Sticky Toffee Pudding flavours at both outlets, the mega-sized treat is a simple, sweet testament to all that mum does for everyone in the family and beyond. Finally, for the mums who can’t say no to a little classic citrus, Doudou Bake’s key lime pie is the obvious choice. The tangy lime curd is balanced with a walnut joconde and hazelnut praline for a touch of nutty sophistication. Simply drop them a WhatsApp or visit their website to secure your pre-order.

 

FOR THE MUM WHO LOVES A NIGHTCAP

Forget the question of coffee or tea and head straight for “whisky or wine”? Or both… Our gift of choice for the mothers who moonlight as a whisky connoisseur is Diageo’s 2025 Special Releases Collection, Horizons Unbound. You’ll find eight limited-edition single malts in each set, each reimagining an iconic distillery through unconventional cask finishes. For those who regard whisky as an art form: this is the final year the collection will be available in Malaysia and only 200 complete sets exist locally, available at in-store at premium retailer Cellar 18. 

On the flip side, for the mums who can be found swirling a glass of wine in front of the TV at the end of the day, might we suggest the Penfolds Bin 389, otherwise known as the “Baby Grange”. This Cabernet Shiraz was the wine that earned Penfolds its reputation in the world of red wine and is extra special as its components are matured in the exact same barrels that the previous vintage Grange called home before bottling.

 

FOR THE MUM WHO CAN’T KEEP HERSELF AT HOME

If travel plans are always in the works for your mum, then this section is the one for you. We’ve recently been obsessed with Tumi’s Mediterranean Escape collection, especially its 19 Degree Front Access Expandable Carry-On. Available in new hues Pink Clay and Thyme, the luggage will not only add some style to her airport looks but also convenience! 

To keep her feet comfortable throughout her journey, the New Balance 204L is our sneaker of choice. Available in a sleek dark silver metallic and slate grey colourway, these lightweight shoes are the perfect addition to her travel wardrobe. 

 

FOR THE MUM WHO LIVES TO MOVE

Movement is an all-important part of our daily routines, even more so for our mums who seem to do it all. In our opinion, the Apple Watch Series 11 is the perfect companion to have for her everyday tasks. From tracking health metrics like sleep and menstrual cycles to keeping her connected, this smartwatch will help her optimise her days and wellbeing without overwhelming her. 

Next, the mums who call the pickleball courts her second home are sure to appreciate a new paddle being added to their rotation and for that, we’d go for the Joola Kosmos Pro V. It balances the reach of the Perseus and sweet spot of the Scorpeus, making it a superb choice for aggressive kitchen play and controlled baseline drives.
