Ah, Mother’s Day. You know, the day when the most important woman in your life doesn’t want you to get her anything.

“Oh, I don’t need a present, I’ve got everything,” she’ll most likely (helpfully) tell you.

Knowing that it’s totally unacceptable to not give her anything (plus you want to show her how special she is), you plan to scour the internet until you find the perfect gift – and then hope it arrives in time.

It doesn’t need to be that way, my friends. I’ve done some work for you (big of me, I know) and come up with the coolest ‘out of the box’ presents list, with not a spa voucher in sight.

Before we start, here’s a pro tip: don’t restrict yourself to gifts you only deem appropriate for certain age brackets or genders. No doubt ‘typical’ Father’s Day presents – such as hardware store vouchers and non-fiction books – would be greatly appreciated by a lot of women too.

1. A kitchen appliance ‘reno’.

Okay, so we know not to buy mum a vacuum cleaner… unless she wants one.

But that doesn’t mean all electrical appliances are off the list. Small kitchen appliances are particularly great to help easily up the luxe factor at home.

For example, The Black Classics Collection by Sunbeam https://www.sunbeam.com.au/collections/black-classics is a sophisticated range of kitchen appliances – which nail all of the things: user-friendly and practical, but also look good on their own and even better as a set.

Yep, just look at them together, sure to bring style to any kitchen benchtop. Like a mini kitchen reno that adds spark to the most popular room in the house.

As well as being a pleasure to use, of course.

Your mum is sure to love any of The Black Classics Collection by Sunbeam, which includes this lovely line-up: Alinea™ Select Kettle & Toasters, a Planetary Mixmaster, an Espresso Machine and a Waffle Maker.

But let’s take a closer look at the Barista Max Espresso Machine and the Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker from the range.

It's sleek in style, and has a built-in conical burr grinder that delivers fresh tasting coffee with every pour. Well, we're sold.

The machine will also make entertaining easier – perfect for guests when they drop over. (And yes, this includes you. So it’s like an investment in your own future).

The uniquely designed Vertical Waffle Maker in The Black Classics Collection by Sunbeam also has a great novelty factor for dressing a kitchen bench top (and also for making perfect waffles).
