9 Things to Do for Mother’s Day in Perth (2026 Guide)

Mother’s Day in Australia falls on Sunday, May 10 in 2026.

It’s one of those days where it doesn’t take much to make it feel special. A slower morning, somewhere nice to go, something thoughtful waiting for her. It’s usually the simple things, done well, that stay with her.

If you’re planning something in Perth this year, there are plenty of easy ways to put together a day that feels relaxed, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable.

Here are a few ideas to help you make the most of it.

1. Book a relaxed brunch at a local favourite

Brunch is popular for a reason. It’s easy, it feels like a treat, and it gives you a nice start to the day.

Places like Mary Street Bakery, La Veen Coffee, or Bib & Tucker are always good choices if you can get in.

If you want it to feel a bit more special, bring something small along. A Mother’s Day Elegance Vase sits nicely on the table and feels like a proper gift without being too much. Add a box of chocolates and it turns a simple brunch into something she’ll remember after the plates are cleared.

2. Start the day with a coastal walk and coffee

Perth mornings are hard to beat.

A walk along Cottesloe or Scarborough, coffee in hand, taking your time. It’s simple, but it gives you space to actually enjoy the moment together.

This is where a smaller arrangement works well. The Pastel Embrace Vase or The Signature Mum Bunch are easy to carry and don’t need any fuss later. It’s just a quiet way of saying you thought about it before the day even started.

3. Set up a picnic somewhere beautiful

A picnic is one of the easiest ways to create a really lovely day without needing a booking.

Good spots:

• Kings Park and Botanic Garden
• South Perth Foreshore
• Matilda Bay Reserve

Food is only part of it. What makes it feel like Mother’s Day is the extra touches.

Flowers set the tone straight away. The Native Garden Vase keeps things relaxed and natural, or the Mother’s Day Elegance Vase if you want it to feel a bit more put together.

Add a bottle of Winekind Prosecco, something sweet like Chocolate Bark or Kelly’s Candy, and you’ve got a setup that feels generous without being complicated.

4. Spend a slow morning in Fremantle

Fremantle suits Mother’s Day because it’s easy to wander.

Start at the markets, take your time through the streets, then sit down somewhere like Bread in Common or Moore & Moore Cafe.

It’s not rushed, and that’s what makes it work.

If you don’t want to carry anything around, having flowers delivered for when she gets home is a nice touch. A Double Tulip Bunch and a Cozy Moments for Mum Hamper waiting at the door feels a bit unexpected, in a really good way.

5. Head out to Swan Valley for a long lunch

If you feel like getting out of the city, Swan Valley is an easy choice.

Places like Mandoon Estate or Sandalford Wines give you space, good food, and a slower pace.

It’s the kind of plan where you can settle in and not think about what’s next.

Pairing this with a beautiful gift waiting at home works well. Something like our A Little Something for Mum hamper keeps that feeling going when the day winds down.

6. Stay home, but make it feel like an occasion

Staying in can be just as special, sometimes even more.

A relaxed breakfast, a slower start to the day, maybe lunch together later on. No rushing, no bookings, just time.

Pick out her favourite movie, and set up the bench with some cinema style treats to add that extra bit of finesse - she'll feel so special. 

7. Put together a simple lunch at home

This is one of the easiest ways to make the day feel thoughtful.

Pick up something nice, set the table properly, and take your time with it.

You don’t need to cook something elaborate. A simple setup done well usually feels better.

• Fresh grazing board
  Cheeses, crackers, dips, fruit, olives. Add some nice bread and it’s done. This works especially well if you don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen.
• Bakery-style lunch spread
  Pick up fresh sandwiches, pastries, and salads from somewhere local like Mary Street Bakery or your favourite neighbourhood spot. Lay it out on plates and it feels like a proper spread without any prep.
• Simple pasta + salad
  One easy pasta (like pesto or a light tomato) with a fresh salad on the side. It feels like a “real meal” but doesn’t take much effort.
• Roast chicken + sides
  Grab a good quality roast chicken and add simple sides like potatoes, greens, or a salad. Feels comforting and generous without needing a full cook.
• Sushi or takeaway platter
  Order a sushi or Asian share platter and present it nicely at home. This works well if she prefers something lighter.
• Long lunch with wine
  Keep it simple with one main dish and a couple of sides, then open a bottle of wine and take your time with it. This is more about the pace than the food.
  
  

Want some beautiful flowers that are ready to go? The Native Garden Vase sits nicely on a table without getting in the way, 

Add a bottle of wine or some chocolates and it feels like a complete gift without needing much effort.

8. Head out for sunset

Not every plan needs to fill the whole day.

A late afternoon walk along Scarborough or Cottesloe, watching the sun go down, can be just as meaningful. Grab a picnic blanket and a bottle of wine or her favourite soda and enjoy the world famous Perth sunset together.

If you haven’t given anything earlier, this is a lovely moment for it. A Double Tulip Bunch feels right here. Simple, beautiful, and a little bit special.

What she’ll remember most

It’s usually not the exact plan, it’s how the day felt.

A bit of time together, something thoughtful waiting for her, and a sense that you really thought about what she would enjoy...that’s what really makes it special.
