With Easter now behind us, school holidays wrapping up, and, let’s be honest, life in general - it can be easy for life to get in the way and the time to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift for those we love, to slip away from us. Take this as your friendly PSA that Mother’s Day is around the corner, and before a gift quickly turns into an afterthought - iconic Aussie retailer Mambo Australia has got you covered.

A household name for over 35 years, Mambo Australia uniquely combines all things surf & style; to cement itself as THE Australian lifestyle, fashion and beach culture brand.

From on-trend winter essentials to statement footwear and the perfect outerwear and accessories- nothing on this list costs over $40 (inflation friendly - hello!) and is sure to satisfy every type of Mum in our lives. 

Here are our favourite picks from Mambo Australia for Mother’s Day:

Sweaters, Knits & Hoodies 

Boost Mum’s rotation of comfy loungewear with Mambo Australia’s range of trendy, surf-inspired winter collection! Nailing the basic tenants of softness, warmth and comfort, Mambo’s sweaters, knits and hoodies are the perfect gift for the Mum’s that are always on the go to those who enjoy the guiltless pleasures of a cosy Sunday spent on the couch.

We can’t go past Mambo’s Quarter-Zip Sweater Top and the matching logo track pants. A coordinated loungewear sweat is perfect, for it requires little thought when it comes to curating that perfect winter outfit - and always lands on-trend.

The Mambo Women’s Jacquard Knit Sweater (Natural) is the perfect winter addition to Mum’s wardrobe - perfect for layering in winter and adaptable to be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion (and simply, what Mum feels like)!  

Mambo Swimwear 

Summer might be over, but for many of us, a morning swim or weekend paddle has remained firmly in our daily routine. And with Mambo Australia’s range of eye-catching, stylish and practical swimwear - you’ll have a harder time convincing Mum to get out of the water than to get in it!

We’re loving the Women’s Printed Paddle Suit, featuring a sweet retro side panel, flattering round neck and long sleeves. Designed for the family adventures ahead, this is the perfect addition to bring out the adventurous side in all Mums as they keep up with the kids amongst the waves.

The V-Neck One-piece (Multi) promises to be as comfortable as it is flattering. This comfy swim piece is the perfect beach or poolside companion and features a Mambo-inspired all-over print with a V neckline, and is made complete with supportive chest padding and a scooped back. The swimsuit is made from Unifi REPREVE® recycled polyester, a fibre made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles - which makes it more sustainable compared to conventional polyester. For its pure style, the V-Neck One piece has to be one of our top picks for Mother’s Day

Mambo Footwear 

Mambo Australia’s current footwear range certainly packs a punch - mixing floral prints and on-trend, nature-inspired neutral tones to their range of thongs and slides. In the spirit of Mother’s Day, we can’t go past Mambo’s signature Badge Thongs in pink. With its braided strap and textured footbed detailing, these are a step above in both design and comfort. And for the Mum’s who rebel against the colour pink - these also come in the very on-trend light green.

Perfect for spontaneous beach trips or when Mum’s on the go, why not gift Mum a ‘refresh’ to her current pair of ‘around-the-house shoes’? Where thoughtful meets practicality - the perfect gift indeed!

Our top pick for Mambo’s footwear range this Mother’s Day goes to Mambo Women’s Gumboot. Perfect for early-morning Saturday sport or winter days spent outdoors, get Mum through the next few months in complete style with the Mambo Gumboot. These boots feature strapped fastening and textured soles for added grip.

To nail the brief this Mother’s Day - why not buy Mum something she’ll not only wear but LOVE.

Mambo Australia’s current range guarantees you’ll nail a gift that’s practical, thoughtful and unique in its quintessential ‘Mambo’ touch. Prices range from $20-$35, available only at BIG W - online and in-store.
