If you’re looking for that thoughtful gift to help celebrate your mum or the special mother figure in your life, our gift guide is here to inspire. From garden-goddesses to culinary queens, to the adorers of all things natural beauty to those with a sweet tooth, there’s something for mums from all walks of life.

Here’s a taster of some of the goodies you’ll find at Lyttleton to spoil mum this Mother’s Day.

Naturally beautiful products

If you haven’t yet indulged in the locally crafted and natural beauty range by Nina’s Bees, you’re in for a treat. Nina’s selection of award-winning lotions and balms are a crowd favourite. Be sure to try the latest addition to the range, the aromatic scented body oil.

Some of our other locally created ranges that are available in store include the Herbiary soaks for bath and foot bath and the organic Paudha and Springfields for face and body creams.

Sweet from the heart

Our Mother’s Day gift pack features a delicious Ooey Gooey Heart from the Meltdown Artisan, fresh flowers and a card, the perfect simple and sweet way to make her day. Pre-order here.

Why not treat her to a spot of morning tea with some of our baked jam drops, melting moments and range of herbal teas and locally roasted coffees?

Pick up something memorable from our Atelier

It’s no secret that the mountains is home to many extraordinarily talented artisans, with many of them featuring in our Atelier at Lyttelton. We stock a selection of bespoke ceramic wares, creative artworks, hand crafted cards and blooming bunches of flowers, all which can be delivered on our Thursday delivery day.

Get creative in the kitchen

If you are planning on cooking up a feast for Mother’s Day, get inspired with our cornucopia of fresh produce available in store and for delivery. Enjoy high-quality seasonal fruit and vegetables as well as bulk food items and preserves made straight from our kitchen to create a feast she will adore.

Let her bake the cake!

We have a fun and delicious workshop running on the 7th of May with Jen from Meltdown Artisan. It’s a wonderful chance to get cooking with your mum in the kitchen, creating a stunning Mother’s Day cake to take home and devour. Learn new techniques and decorate your culinary masterpiece with a stunning floral topper. Book your place here.

The gift of gifting

Still not quite sure what to get? Fear not, our Lyttelton Gift Cards give mum the freedom to treat herself to the perfect gift from our store. Our gift cards can be redeemed for workshops, wares from our atelier, memberships or anything her heart desires from our Lyttleton range of products.
