"I ordered the Night Sky print of the night my dad passed. We framed it for my mum's birthday. She didn't say a word for a full minute. Then she just held it. It sits above her bed now."

About Mother's Day gifts in NZ

What is a good Mother's Day gift in New Zealand?

The EMBER Mother's Day gifts most often gifted by NZ children are Forever Prints (a Night Sky of the night their child was born — 'the night you became Mum'), ritual boxes (Deep Rest, Slow Hour, Sacred Pause), and pounamu pieces from Objects That Remain. NZ Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May.

What do you give a mum who has everything?

For a mother who has everything, EMBER's most-loved gifts are the ones she cannot buy herself — a Forever Print of the night each of her children was born, a pounamu pendant carrying whakapapa, or a Deep Rest ritual box that creates a wind-down routine. None of these duplicate what is already in her home.

What is a good Mother's Day gift for a new mum in NZ?

For a new mum, the EMBER gifts that are most-given are a Forever Moon Phase Print of her baby's first night (the actual moon, that night, generated from real lunar data), a Holding Stone (pounamu, pocket-sized, grounding) or a pair of Featherfall paua earrings (light, considered, easy to receive when life is full).

When is Mother's Day in New Zealand?

Mother's Day in Aotearoa New Zealand is the second Sunday in May. Order by late April to allow standard 2–4 business day NZ delivery (or 7–10 days for Forever Prints, which are made to order). Free NZ shipping over $180.

What is a thoughtful Mother's Day gift from a daughter or son?

The most-mentioned EMBER Mother's Day review is from children gifting a Night Sky print of the night they themselves were born — 'the night you became Mum' — with the exact stars over the hospital, generated from real astronomical data, printed in Aotearoa on archival fine art paper.
