We like to imagine every time you purchase something from a female-owned business, they do a little happy dance in celebration. (Particularly, if it’s at 11 o’clock at night, in their dressing gown, and after a full day of work.)
This Mother’s Day, we’re hoping to have as many women performing this happy dance as possible, so we’ve curated the ultimate gift buying guide (all with our Premium members, of course!). Whether it’s for your own mum, sister, or a friend struggling on Mother’s day, we’ve got you covered.

Created by Kate Sutton, Uberkate brings a personal touch to your jewellery. In their collections, you can engrave each of their pieces and they also have the capacity to engrave exact children’s handwriting or drawings.
Ready for another bonus? Kate is offering 20% off her Mother’s Day collection. Lock in your orders, here.
Urban Rituelle
Every day, the Business Chicks team lights our candles from Urban Rituelle and not a week passes when visitors don’t ask about them – they’re that good! Founded by Premium member Leanne Haining, she has been creating her beautiful products for the past 20 years. All natural and organic ingredients, cruelty free, paraben free, and sulfate free, if you think your mum doesn’t need another candle (or cream), she hasn’t received one from Urban Rituelle.
Lazy Sunday Lifestyle
Warning: You will spend a loooong time scrolling through Kate Griffiths‘ website (in a good way!). Based in Dubbo, Lazy Sunday Lifestyle‘s eclectic collections are filled with accessories, clothes, homewares and books that capture that Sunday feeling. And, Mother’s Day just happens to be on a…
Okay Lady
Remember when mindful colouring books were stocked in every gift store? We found the evolution of that. Mindful puzzling. Created by the brilliant Kristy O’Kane, her company, Okay Lady stocks beautiful puzzles, all illustrated by female artists. Now, that’s more than one woman doing a happy dance!
SWIISH
Health. Beauty. Home. Fashion. SWIISH, by Sally Obermeder and Maha Corbett, have it all. Kind of like Lazy Sunday Lifestyle (above!), you’ll probably find yourself adding things to your cart for hours. We’re particularly loving these silver heart earrings, #GetGlowing face masks and for the mum who needs sleep (read: every mum) checkout their new Sleep Superfood powder.
LVLY
You might have read about the rise of LVLY, co-founded by Hannah Spilva, on the Business Chicks website. Considered the “Uber of gift-giving services”, LVLY is the perfect option if you don’t live near your mum or away on Mother’s Day. Any gift can be paired with a stunning bunch of flowers, which you can also choose the size of, depending on your budget.

What better way to show Mum how much you care than by taking that chore she’s been putting off for months off her hands and getting an expert to do it instead. Maybe Mum’s house needs a spring clean or she’s struggling to organise the next big family event. Whatever she needs, a gift voucher for a little extra help will go a long way to easing her mental load!
GG’s flowers
GG’s Flowers is a socially sustainable Canberra florist that employs people with special needs, run by gorgeous Premium member Nip Wijewickrema. You can’t help but feel good about ordering from GG’s!
Healthy Lifestyle Essentials
Victoria Dufficy is all about helping us find our ~zen~. A qualified pilates instructor, Victoria founded Healthy Lifestyle Essentials (HLE) when she couldn’t find natural, luxury gifts for her friends or clients. Today, we have HLE and you can choose from one of their own gift boxes or curate your own.
Hey Tiger
Know someone with a sweet tooth or prefer giving for social impact? We’re pointing you in the direction of Hey Tiger. Owned by Cyan Ta’eed (who doesn’t take a salary!), each chocolate bar sold donates a portion to The Hunger Project. Right now, you can buy our co-branded Business Chicks x Hey Tiger chocolate, head here to pre-order yours!
Winging It
It’d be remiss of us to leave out our founder’s book, Winging It! In case you’ve somehow missed hearing about Em’s brilliant book, in it she shows us that often the only thing holding us back is ourselves; that you can follow your dreams; and that there’s no reason not to start doing so right now. Buy one for yourself too!
Feel Better Box
It would be remiss of us to write this article without keeping in our thoughts that Mother’s Day isn’t a celebration for everyone. Whether it’s an empty seat at the table or someone who desperately wants to be a mum, this Sunday might not be filled with love and laughter. Take care of those around you, and we love gift boxes at Feel Better Box. Crafted by Sarah Willmott, her products are perfect for acknowledging the day without saying anything at all.
