Budget-Friendly Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day and COMP!

Janet Camilleri · 21/04/2014 ·

NB This is a sponsored post.

No sooner is Easter over and we are hurtling full speed ahead towards the next event on the calendar: Mother’s Day!

The good news is, I’ve sussed out some great gift ideas on your behalf from Millers; and even better, one lucky reader will WIN her favourite/s up to the value of $50!

I Must Confess: if it was me, I would have trouble choosing. I want all of them!

No matter what your budget, there’s sure to be something here that you your Mum would love …

1. $10 – Silver Rose Print Scarf

Silver Rose Scarf
If your kids have clubbed together their pocket money and want to get you a little something, point them in the direction of this gorgeous scarf for only $10.

2. $15 – Blue Statement Necklace

Blue Statement Necklace
Nothing brightens up an outfit like a colourful statement necklace, like this one in shades of blue.

3. $25 – White Bathrobe

White Bathrobe
Hurry in for this soft and luxurious bathrobe – currently reduced from $35 to $25! A great way to make your Mum feel like she’s staying at a luxury hotel, without even leaving home.

4. $35 – Pale Pink Jumper

Pink Sweater
Make sure Mum is ready for Winter with this snuggly crew neck jumper in the prettiest of pinks. Perfect with jeans on the weekend, or a smart pencil skirt, crisp white shirt and heels for the office.

5. $50 – A Little Black Dress

LBD
Every woman needs at least one Little Black Dress in her wardrobe, and I love the cut of this one – classic and figure-flattering at the same time. Wouldn’t it look great with the statement necklace?!

Competition Time!

Now for the competition – one reader will WIN her choice of the 5 items above – up to the value of $50 – thanks to the good people at Millers. So you might choose the LBD, or the scarf plus jumper!

    Love the little black dress … every wardrobe should have one!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:23 am

      I Must Confess: I have a couple but none as glam as this one!

    You have compiled a very good selection of Mothers Day gift ideas here Janet. I would love that pale pink jumper! Very nice indeed.

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:23 am

      So would I! I wonder if I can enter my own comp?!

    I love the pale pink jumper. It looks so cosy and warm!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:23 am

      Yes, it’s on my wishlist as well Tegan πŸ™‚

    Scarves are my weakness – and that is a very pretty one!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:25 am

      They add some fun to an outfit don’t they!

  6. Pinky Poinker says

    22/04/2014 at 7:11 am

    I’m liking that little black dress! Great ideas for a mother who doesn’t wear jewellery or perfume and is allergic to makeup, doesn’t drink or eat chocolate and has a library card so doesn’t want books!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:25 am

      Haha that sounds like the voice of experience Pinky … we are the same with my outlaws. Plus, F-I-L has diabetes so that rules out gourmet foods/wines!

  7. Karrine says

    22/04/2014 at 7:55 am

    I can already see my mum in that Pale Pink Jumper!
    She loves Millers and snuggly knits, it’s the perfect combo πŸ™‚

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:26 am

      Good luck in the comp – imagine if you won it for her!

    Love the necklace!!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      22/04/2014 at 9:26 am

      Me too Ann! There’s nothing like a statement necklace to add that finishing touch to an outfit πŸ™‚

    I bought that scarf for my grandma for her 80th Birthday. I loved the print on it and they were her colours. I also gave a bunch of orange roses because it’s hard knowing what to buy for an 80 year old. When I was in Millers I was surprised by the amount of trendy clothes and accessories that were on sale.

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 5:31 pm

      I bought a top there last week, at first I wasn’t sure because I thought Millers only had granny gear, but I also noticed they have some really cool stuff!

  10. Carolyn @ Holidays to Europe says

    22/04/2014 at 6:57 pm

    I love the scarf. It would really dress up an outfit and would go with lots of different colours.

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 5:32 pm

      Yep I love the colours in it too πŸ™‚

  11. Kim-Marie from Kimba Likes says

    23/04/2014 at 2:13 pm

    very fond of the pastel prettiness of the jersey. Cute as a kitten x

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 5:32 pm

      It would look awesome on you Kim-Marie! I’d love to see how you style it too.

  12. Kell Kelly says

    23/04/2014 at 5:21 pm

    The Little Black Dress!! I need something versatile that is classic and flattering to the figure for a wedding in June. This would be perfect.

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 5:33 pm

      They had some lovely dresses Kell, I was particularly taken with this one myself but thought the good ol’ LBD would have a broader appeal: http://www.millers.com.au/Short-Sleeve-Lace-Dress.aspx?p6228221&cr=lgwm__053315

    Love the snuggly crew neck jumper!

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 7:18 pm

      I know – I might just have to bring that one home myself!

  14. Mums Take Five says

    23/04/2014 at 6:54 pm

    i rushed past millers this afternoon with three kids to the supermarket and i thought i should just duck in there to see if they have something nice i can buy my Nan for Mothers Day seen as i will see her this year for the first time in fifteen years (i live interstate) and that scarf was out the front on a shirt in the doorway and it is even better in real life. BUT alas the kids kept running so i had to keep up.
    It is gorgeous and if its only $10 i will go get us both one tomorrow ! lol
    i love the little black dress too that is exactly what i’d wear.

    • Janet Camilleri says

      23/04/2014 at 7:17 pm

      Good luck in the comp!

  15. Jemma Hansen says

    23/04/2014 at 9:37 pm

    The snuggly crew neck jumper, such a pretty colour and great for colder weather. I think it would match great with the S ilver Rose Print Scarf

  16. Aroha @ Colours of Sunset says

    24/04/2014 at 8:07 pm

    The scarf is gorgeous, but I think I’d go for the LBD – it looks so flattering! I have to admit, I’ve always felt “too young” for Millers, but I have seen some things walking by lately that look great, AND their prices are fantastic, too!

  17. Lauren says

    24/04/2014 at 8:15 pm

    That scarf and pink jumper would be the perfect gift combination! Pretty and practical.

  18. Kim says

    25/04/2014 at 8:00 pm

    I can’t choose between the scarf and the black dress, they are both pretty

  19. Vera Rimmer says

    26/04/2014 at 10:04 am

    I love the little black dress to bits and the pink jumper.

  20. Annette says

    26/04/2014 at 10:14 am

    I especially love the scarf, oh for my mother of course for Mother’s Day πŸ˜‰

  21. Karen L says

    26/04/2014 at 11:51 am

    The white bathrobe or the pale pink jumper. Both are gorgeous. πŸ™‚

  22. Judy D says

    26/04/2014 at 1:51 pm

    Really do like the pale pink jumper – just love the light shade πŸ™‚

  23. Wendy Christidis says

    26/04/2014 at 2:09 pm

    Hard decision because each item is practical, stylish and just plain gorgeous!!! I’ll probably choose the little black dress! Looking at the price , everything is so affordable so I may just go visit Millers and buy the whole lot….after all it is Mother’s Day!

  24. rebecca scarinci says

    26/04/2014 at 2:33 pm

    the silver rose scarf would compliment my grey jacket and dress it up abit

  25. DANA says

    26/04/2014 at 3:22 pm

    luv the pretty feminine scarf !

  26. DIANA O says

    26/04/2014 at 4:06 pm

    Bathrobe, I need a new one after stupidly spilling nail polish down my old one.

  27. Di says

    26/04/2014 at 4:07 pm

    LBD, I think it’ll look really good on me πŸ˜€

  28. Jacky B says

    26/04/2014 at 4:12 pm

    Millers often have some little gems: love the scarf – this winter I’m definitely going scarf crazy!

  29. Cherie Akers says

    26/04/2014 at 4:43 pm

    The Little Black Dress is always a favourite for busy Mum’s, so versatile and stylish, any Mum would love this frock

  30. janice murphy says

    26/04/2014 at 6:17 pm

  31. janice murphy says

    26/04/2014 at 6:19 pm

    and I also love the Pink Jumper and that scarf

  32. Marcia Coventry says

    26/04/2014 at 6:30 pm

    The pale pink jumper. Perfect to team with skinny jeans and riding boots.

  33. Kelly walter says

    26/04/2014 at 6:49 pm

    Pale Pink Jumper is defiantly my favorite, not only because its a beautiful pink color and i LOVE pink but it would also keep you warm in the winter ! as the weather is getting cold !

  34. Pauline Gray says

    26/04/2014 at 7:31 pm

    The Scarf would brighten up outfits or the little black dress is always useful.

  35. Carolyn K says

    26/04/2014 at 9:20 pm

    I love the LBD and love the cut and look of it.

    26/04/2014 at 9:35 pm

    5. Little Black Dress……it’s adorable & I’d really love one in MY wardrobe!

  38. Sue B says

    26/04/2014 at 10:53 pm

    I love the side pleats of the little black dress, but I just bought one! lol, I could do with a new jumper though & the pastel pink is very pretty.

  39. Mystery Case says

    26/04/2014 at 11:07 pm

    That bath robe looks luscious! Great giveaway. I’m giving it a Worth Casing mention on the Mystery Case blog tomorrow. πŸ™‚

  40. Charlotte says

    27/04/2014 at 3:00 pm

    I’d love to win the LBD – it looks like such a flattering and feminine shape, classy and elegant but with a hint of fun with that detailing on the sides. Gorgeous!

    Thanks for the chance!

  41. Julia Mason says

    27/04/2014 at 4:28 pm

    I would really love the Little Black Dress because you can literally wear anything and everything with it, dress it up or down, wear it to a cafe or up town!

  42. Alice Catblack Mitchell says

    27/04/2014 at 5:03 pm

    that little black dress is gorgeous. I would love to win that

  43. Amanda Gorton says

    27/04/2014 at 11:17 pm

    Wow I never realised Millers had such a versatile range!!!!
    The White Bathrobe is my Mum in every possible way, she is a real homebody that loves nothing more than vegging out in her PJ’s to relax for the day!

  44. Karlene says

    27/04/2014 at 11:25 pm
