For the mum, not the baby

Everyone brings something for the baby. This one’s just for her: small, doable moments to herself in the middle of the newborn blur.

“This was a perfect gift for me as a new mum. Encouraging some me time was the best and better than another outfit for baby.”

When you can’t be there in person

Grief, illness, a hard year. When there’s nothing you can fix, you can still send her something that says: look after yourself, I’m thinking of you.

Mum’s not short of things. She’s short of time for herself.

Most gifts for mum end up in a drawer. The Retreat Box gives her the products and the permission: full-sized things she’ll actually use, and a guide that turns them into a proper break.

Gift ideas for mum: your questions

What do you get Mum when she says she doesn’t want anything?

Something she’ll use up and would never buy for herself. Our boxes are full of full-sized self-care from Australian and NZ-owned brands, not more stuff to find a shelf for. The Retreat Box adds a Retreat Guide and playlist, so it feels like time off rather than another thing.

I need gifts for my mum that she’ll actually use. Where do I start?

Start with the Retreat Box. It’s rated 4.9 from 10,035 reviews and 99% of reviewers recommend it. It covers skincare, body care, a treat to eat and a drink, so you don’t need to know her routine to get it right.

What birthday presents for mum actually get used?

The ones she can open, use and enjoy the same week. Every product in our boxes is full-sized and chosen to be used up: a moisturiser, a body scrub, a foot soak, a treat to eat. For a milestone birthday, the Gift Hamper adds a mug and drinking chocolate.

I’m sending birthday gifts for mum from interstate. Will it arrive on time?

In most cases your order leaves our warehouse the business day after you order (public holidays and peak periods can add a day or two). AusPost Express usually takes 1-4 business days, and you’ll get tracking by email as soon as it ships.

Which gift should I choose?

Go by how big a treat you want it to be. The Ritual Set ($49.95) is a sweet thank you. The Mini Box ($79.95) gives her an evening off. The Retreat Box ($115) is our signature box with $300 of products. The Gift Hamper ($159.95) adds a mug and drinking chocolate for the big occasions.

Any gift ideas for mum under $100?

Yes. The Sweet Dreams Ritual Set is $49.95 and the ‘A Little Something For You’ Mini Box is $79.95. Free AU shipping starts at $129, so pairing two gifts often gets you there. You can also browse every box and hamper.

Will she see the price?

No. There’s no invoice or receipt in the parcel. Tick “Is this a gift?” in your cart to add a card with your message, so she knows who it’s from.

Can I give Mum a Retreat Box subscription?

Yes. A seasonal subscription sends her a new Retreat Box every three months (1 March, 1 June, 1 September and 1 December), so the gift keeps landing all year. Choose your subscription on the Retreat Box page.

What if she has sensitive skin or allergies?

Every product is listed by name and brand on its product page, so you can check the contents before you order. If you have a question about a specific product, email support@retreatyourself.com.

I’m the mum. Can I buy one for myself?

Of course, and plenty of our customers do. The Retreat Box is also available as a subscription: a new box every season, from $89 a box when you pay yearly. Skip or cancel any time.

Do you ship to New Zealand?

Yes. We ship to NZ at a flat rate, shown at checkout (all prices are in AUD). Free shipping over $129 applies to Australian orders.

What if something arrives damaged?

Let us know within four weeks of shipping and we’ll replace it or sort out an alternative, no hassle. Email support@retreatyourself.com.

Give Mum the gift she’d never buy herself

Not sure which? Start with the one rated 4.9 from 10,035 reviews: $300 of full-sized self-care for $115 and no price inside. If anything arrives damaged, we replace it.
