Top Tech

Mum works hard, so make sure her home-office tech is up to the challenge. Upgrading mum’s laptop to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15" i3 8GB 512GB Laptop is a good first-step. Its HD camera will have her dazzling on video calls, and the 256GB of storage is plenty for work and play. Pair it with a Samsung 27" S39C Curved Monitor for a two-monitor set-up. The curved display is great for keeping mum focused as it fills her peripheral vision to limit distractions.

For mums on the move, consider a Lenovo Yoga 7 14" EVO Core Ultra 7 16GB 1TB Touch 2in1 Laptop, which converts to a tablet for walking video meetings. A fast-charging, long-lasting battery is perfect for taking the workday outside for some fresh air. Just add Sony Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones and Mum is well on her way to being completely cord- and care-free.

Stand-Up Desk

Working from home doesn’t have to be an endless cycle of moving from couch to office chair. A standing desk set-up will let Mum switch between sitting and standing whenever she likes. According to WorkSafe Victoria, research shows that sitting less and moving more can help reduce health problems like diabetes and cardiovascular disease – plenty of good reasons to gift mum the Ergovida Monitor Electric Workstation. The motorised stand sits discreetly on her desk and lifts the computer monitor to standing height at the push of a button. While sitting, a Homedics Cordless Shiatsu Massager on her office chair or REVITIVE Pro Relief - EMS and TENS for her feet is the perfect stress reliever. Bliss.

“Add the final mum-tastic flourishes by personalising the decor to her taste. Framed finger paintings by the kids are a heartfelt touch.”

Self-Care Staples

The right scent in the home office can help get mum’s creative juices flowing. A few drops of essential oil in the Ellia Pure Aroma Diffuser Ceramic & Terrazzo- Grey can help boost productivity and fragrance the room for up to 12 hours.

Coffee Station

Including a coffee machine in the home office is another simple way to bring the zing. The handsome DeLonghi PrimaDonna Soul Automatic Coffee Machine grinds the beans, froths the milk and pours the perfect brew. Stay alert during all your work meetings with the Nespresso Vertuo POP Black Bundle, the capsule machine heats up in less than 25 seconds so your next caffeine hit is never far away.

Smart Lighting

Switch to smart light bulbs, like the Nanoleaf RGB Outdoor String Light Expansion (15m), so Mum can turn lights on and off at the tap of a smartphone button. For a little fun, the Laser 10W Multi-colour Smart Light Bulb will let her choose the perfect colour to suit her mood. Research shows that cooler blue and white lights are good for working, waking up, and concentrating.
