No clichés. Just beautifully curated, locally sourced finds for every kind of mum. 

At Saltbox, we’re not ones for the expected. As Sydney’s newest event and function venue — opening May 12 — our focus is on detail, design and experience, from the gatherings we host to the precinct we’re proud to be part of. 

This Mother’s Day, we’ve handpicked a selection of refined, thoughtful gifts from some of our favourite neighbours within Wunderlich Lane — from indulgent spa treatments to design-led homewares and unforgettable dining experiences. Whether you’re shopping for a mum who loves to indulge in self-care, an epicurean enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys the finer things in life, you’ll find the perfect gift right here in the precinct we call home.

Explore our Mother’s Day picks below — and give something that feels a little more special.

For the mother who brings style to every table, these sculptural platters by Defy Design are a modern essential.

We loved them so much, we even created a custom version for Saltbox.
