“Sometimes it’s nice to give a gift to let someone know that they are a gift in your life,” according to artist Susan Lordi. Her Willow Tree figurines include the new Butterfly – a metaphor for resilience, determination, courage and beauty. There’s also Abundance, which features an overflowing bouquet of pink roses as a way to show abundant feelings for the figurine’s recipient.

If you or your Mum have yet to discover Glasshouse Fragrances triple-scented, Australian-made candles, be warned: It only takes one of their beautiful fragrances to ignite a candle obsession. The limited edition range released to mark Mother’s Day is Casablanca, a sweet combination of velvet musk and bergamot that had our newsroom “oohing” in delight. Featuring beautiful glass, non-toxic wax and lead-free cotton, they are truly wick-ed.
