Mother’s Day Gifting 2025: Thoughtful Ideas She’ll Truly Love

Spoil Mum This Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re on the hunt for something meaningful, we’re here to help.

At The Wool Company, we believe the best gifts are the ones that wrap her in comfort, warmth, and love. Whether you’re shopping for Mum, Nana, or another special woman in your life, our collection of New Zealand-made merino, merino possum, and silk blend pieces are gifts that will be appreciated and worn for years to come.

This isn’t about last-minute pressies or gift cards grabbed on the go. This is about choosing something thoughtful - something beautifully made that shows just how much you care.

Why Do We Celebrate Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is a time-honoured tradition here in Aotearoa - a moment to pause and show appreciation for the women who do so much, often without asking for anything in return.

Whether it’s a quiet cuppa together, a handwritten card, or a heartfelt gift, the sentiment is the same: “Thank you, Mum.”

Celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year, Mother’s Day in New Zealand is about celebrating all mother figures - from mums and step-mums to aunties, grandmothers, and other incredible women who’ve helped shape our lives. And what better way to show your love than with something beautifully made, deeply considered, and just a little bit indulgent?

That’s where our collection of premium, NZ-made gifts comes in. Each piece in this guide is thoughtfully chosen to help you find a gift that feels as special as she is.

1. Wraps & Ponchos

Stylish, Cosy, and So Easy to Wear

Some gifts say it all - without needing to say a word. A merino poncho is one of those gifts.

Luxuriously soft, effortlessly stylish, and easy to wear, our collection of merino possum wraps and ponchos offers warmth and comfort in a way that feels like giving Mum a hug she can wear. Whether she’s out running errands, curled up with a good book, or heading out for brunch, these timeless pieces add a touch of elegance to every day.

Better still, they’re incredibly practical. One-size-fits-all (or our simple two-size options) takes the guesswork out of gifting, and the premium fibres - warm merino wool blended with silky-soft possum - offer unmatched comfort without the bulk.

If you’re looking for something she’ll treasure (and actually use!) a wrap or poncho is the perfect way to say “thanks for everything, I love you.”

2. Merino Socks

Warm Toes, Warm Heart.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that bring the most comfort - like a truly good pair of socks.

Soft, breathable, and naturally warm, our merino socks are a simple gift with a big impact. Whether Mum’s the type to head out for long walks or potter around at home with a cup of tea in hand, these socks will keep her feet warm, dry, and comfy from morning to night.

Made from premium New Zealand merino wool, they’re moisture-wicking, odour-resistant, and gentle on skin - perfect for mums who appreciate quality that lasts. We’ve even got options for jet-setter Mums who require comfort on the go; our health socks make for great travel companions!

Plus, with a wide range of colours and styles to choose from, you can find a pair (or a few!) that match her wardrobe and personality.

They may be small, but they’ll remind her of your love every time she slips them on.

3. Merino Lingerie & Undergarments

100% Comfort, Everyday Luxury

If you're after a gift that’s both thoughtful and luxurious, merino lingerie and undergarments are the perfect pick. These are the pieces Mum might not treat herself to - but once she tries them, she’ll never look back.

Made with 100% superfine merino, our camisoles, singlets, briefs and thermal layers feel soft as silk against the skin. They’re breathable, naturally insulating, and gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. And because merino helps regulate temperature, these pieces are comfortable year-round - cool in summer, warm in winter.

This is comfort she can wear every day, layered under her outfits or worn to bed on cooler nights. It’s not just a gift - it’s a little daily reminder that she deserves to feel amazing.

4. Hats, Gloves & Scarves:

Luxe Layers She’ll Love

When it comes to thoughtful gifts, you can’t go wrong with beautifully made accessories - especially ones that feel as good as they look.

Our merino and merino possum blend hats, gloves and scarves are soft, stylish, and practical, making them a firm favourite for Mother’s Day gifting.

From classic ribbed beanies and elegant berets to fingerless gloves and gorgeous scarves, these pieces are designed to keep Mum cosy without sacrificing style. The natural fibres offer incredible warmth without the bulk, and the range of colours means you can find something that perfectly matches her wardrobe - whether she loves soft neutrals, bold jewel tones, or rich autumn hues.

And the best part? These accessories aren’t just for winter!

Many of our pieces are breathable and lightweight enough to wear through the cooler months of spring and autumn too. Perfect for layering up on a morning walk, school run, or weekend away - she'll reach for them again and again.

5. Blankets

The Gift of Comfort at Home

If you're looking for a Mother’s Day gift that’s equal parts practical and indulgent, a wool blanket is hard to beat.

It’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving - every time she curls up with a good book, settles in for a movie night, or takes a quiet moment with a cuppa, she’ll think of you.

Our range of merino and merino possum throws and blankets are designed with comfort in mind. They’re plush, incredibly warm, naturally breathable, and wonderfully soft to the touch - no scratchiness or synthetic fibres here.

Whether draped across a sofa, added to the end of a bed, or packed along for weekend escapes, they make any space feel a little more special.

Plus, like all our knitwear, they’re proudly made in New Zealand using natural, renewable materials - so you can feel good knowing you’re gifting something that’s both beautiful and better for the planet.
