I feel like this Christmas is going to be such a special time in Australia, now that we can all get together again and celebrate (fingers crossed WA). It’s the perfect time to create fabulous experiences and make special memories with the family, and so I’ve put together a list of amazing RedBalloon Christmas gifts to share with mum – and I’m secretly hoping Emmie will put at least one in my Christmas stocking.
Christmas is the perfect time to splash out and gift the special experience mum has been dreaming of, like a beautiful massage or cruise, or surprise her with something she’d never expect – like a helicopter winery tour or a shark diving adventure!
Whether mum is into dining out, hot air ballooning, glamping, wine tasting or cruising, there will be something on the list for you to enjoy together. No matter where you are in Australia, there’s a fabulous experience for you. And there’s no better time to gift it!
Here’s to the best mum and daughter Christmas present experiences ever!
Up, up and away with balloons, scenic flights and helicopter winery tours
Spoil mum with a birds eye view – and some bubbles – from high above the world. Float in a beautiful balloon together over the Hunter Valley, Mudgee or the Gold Coast, or soar over the stunningly blue Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays on a scenic flight. If you’re ready for the best afternoon ever why not hire a private helicopter and take mum off to lunch in the Barossa. You can pick a seaplane flight and fine dining lunch or a doors-off photography experience. There is so much to choose from.

A special wine and dining experience – from paddlewheelers to degustation and cooking classes
If mum loves a wine and a meal then make it extra special with these fabulous wine and dining experiences. Fancy a winery tour with tastings and a gourmet cheese platter?
How about a seafood lunch cruise on a paddlewheeler or a private yacht? Or a cocktail making masterclass? Choose a high tea, or a full day wine tasting tour with lunch, there are so many dining experiences to choose from.
Imagine the memories you’ll make with mum on these adventures.
A special mum and daughter getaway
It’s not often you get mum all to yourself for a weekend, so a mum and daughter getaway is a fabulous Christmas gift that you both will love.
Select your amazing getaway from luxury retreats, hinterland escapes and glamping adventures. Set off to a winery or a fancy city stay, or relax in the country or at a spa retreat. Spend a night or two sailing on a yacht or exploring a medieval castle with a three course dinner prepared by a private chef.
There are hundreds of beautiful getaways to choose from all over Australia, including an overnight adventure on a tall ship in Sydney Harbour with dinner and breakfast and an exclusive tour of historic Goat Island. How amazing!
It’s going to be so hard to choose just one, so start looking for your perfect getaway now.
The mum and daughter that spa together…
If there’s one thing that mums and daughters can agree on, surely it has to be that a spa day together is the best day! Especially if it involves bubbles, robes, plunge pools and pampering.
RedBallon has so many decadent spa treatments to choose from like facials and massages, full day pampering sessions with an indulgent lunch, and even a perfume Masterclass with French champagne. Book a luxurious organic facial, a hot spring experience or a sauna and floatation tank session.
If you’re feeling generous and want a bit more time together there’s a selection of luxury spa retreats to treat mum (and you) to. Check out all the amazing spa treatments here.
Set off on a cruise together
Who knew there were so many different kinds of amazing cruises! From eco cruises on the Great Barrier Reef, sunset sailing and snorkelling trips to river cruises and champagne lunches. There’s canoe paddles up through the everglades, gondolas, whale watching, high tea and lunch and dinner cruises – there is so much to choose from. Set out in the morning, or take a sunset cruise in the afternoon, enjoy champagne and nibbles or seafood lunches.
Whatever you choose, you and mum will have a fabulous time out on the water.
Let mum choose
If you can’t pick from all of these incredible experiences then why not let mum choose for you. RedBalloon offers gift vouchers which can be used on all experiences and are valid for five years. Plus if you happen to find the experience cheaper elsewhere, RedBalloon will match it. You can order your gift voucher here.
Have a wonderful family Christmas!
