As the youngest of three girls, Mother's Day (like most days) is a busy time in our household.

While I love to celebrate my own mum, of course, it's a special time for both of my sisters, one who has tweens and the other who has a toddler. It's a chance to spend time together and celebrate the incredible women in my life and to remember and honour the ultimate figure and driving force in our family, my grandma.

Heck, even our dog is female. My dad truly never stood a chance. It sounds cheesy, but women truly make the world go around and without these figures in my life, I know I wouldn't be where I am today. And I can bet you feel the same way about your own mum, grandma, sisters and aunties.

So, in honour of Mother's Day and for those of us looking for gifts for the special women in our lives, we've hand selected the best gifts from Target, all under $70. Another great benefit of having women in your life is wardrobe sharing. It is truly an excellent perk. And these items are perfect for that too.

See below for all of our best picks:

Soft Comfort Bamboo Sleep Jogger Pants in Oatmeal Marle, $25

There's nothing quite like the soft feeling of bamboo against your skin. The Soft Comfort Sleep Jogger Pants are great for lounging around the house and sleeping in. And if you're game, they can also be worn during a trip to the shops with a trench coat over the top and a cool pair of sneakers. They are trendy and stylish enough for you to get away with it. No one will know they are really pyjamas, we promise.

Womens Sheepskin and Leather Slipper Boot in Beige, $60

Everyone needs a good pair of Ugg boots in winter. And the best part about these is they are of excellent quality with a super affordable price tag. They are made with a premium leather upper and have a cosy sheepskin lining, as well as being water-repellent. That means while you're grabbing a pair for Mum, you can probably pick up a pair for yourself too...

Brushed Stripe Scarf, $25

The Brushed Stripe Scarf is the perfect layer to go with those new jogger pants and Uggs you just picked up. The mixed neutral colours make it easy to pair with any outfit, and it's versatile when it comes to styling options. A scarf is also a good idea for those in-between months when you start thinking about trans-seasonal clothing.

Buckle Detail Crossbody Bag in Sand, $25

When going shopping and wanting to be hands free, a crossbody bag is truly the only option. And it doesn't hurt when it looks super stylish too. The Buckle Detail Crossbody Bag is a good size for all of your essentials and can dress up any outfit. The adjustable crossbody strap offers lots of styling options, and the gold detailing gives it an elevated look. It also looks like a dupe for some of the designer handbags on the market. You heard it here first.

3 Pack Pearl Hoop Earrings, $10

We have definitely been sleeping on Target accessories. My mum personally loves wearing pearls as they are timeless and classic, and these pearl earrings are just that. They're easy to take on and off and add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. The gold also matches perfectly with the crossbody bag.

Denim Maxi Shirt Dress, $70

Now look. This is one of those purchases that I would make for my mum, but I would definitely be borrowing. I love that this dress can be made to work for multiple occasions. It's made from cotton, so you know it's going to be comfortable, and the shape itself is very flattering. It's also classic enough that it won't go out of style and will be in your mum's (read: your) wardrobe for season after season.

Neoprene Tote Bag, $35

If you're anything like me, you carry a lot of things, particularly if you're a mum. That's where a good tote comes in handy for all of those extra bits and pieces that you find yourself bringing with you that don't fit in your handbag. I also love the neoprene; it's much more practical for on the go.  

Leather Gloves, $30

These gloves are the perfect alternative to more expensive styles on the market. With their timeless design, they effortlessly complement any outfit for a sleek, luxe look. They're also a great neutral option for mixing and matching with items you already have in your wardrobe.

Cable Knit Beanie, $20

My mum personally loves a good cable knit beanie, and this would be a great option for the winter holiday she will be having in a few months' time (I'm not jealous at all). 

Premium Flannelette Pyjama Set, $30

I love giving gifts that are practical, and this pyjama set is not only super comfortable, being made with breathable cotton, but it's also incredibly cute. My mum still has the pyjamas I bought her for Mother's Day approximately five years ago, so these would make a wonderful upgrade that I'm sure will last another five.  

My Mother's Life, $10

Last but definitely not least, I am obsessed with the book My Mother's Life. It's a beautiful keepsake journal that is filled with 200 guided exercises and prompts to discuss the many stages of your mum's life. It's such a thoughtful activity to do on Mother's Day and a great opportunity for your mum to share some stories with you that you might not otherwise know about.

It makes a beautiful keepsake for many years to come. Maybe it becomes a family tradition that you fill in a few pages each year, in honour of your gorgeous mum.
