Uh oh, another Mother's Day is just around the corner and the best gift idea you've had so far is that box of chocolates that has been sitting at the back of your pantry even since your creepy neighbour left them on your doorstep.
We're very sorry to break it to you but your mum doesn't want that box of chocolates. Nor does she want (another) pot plant. Show mum you appreciate her sophisticated taste and present her with some new ear candy on Mother's Day.
Matthew Morrison - Matthew Morrison
Mum will squeal with glee when she lays her hands on Mr Schue's very own album. Not quite - but Matthew Morrison, who plays Mr Schuester on hit sing-dance-laugh-cry show Glee, makes his musical debut with a self-titled album.
With a number of Broadway hits under his belt, Matthew has crooner credibility that he flaunts on this mix of original and cover songs.
It's the perfect gift for mum because: she'll love the easy listening vibe and it will make her feel in touch with all the hip young things!
Ronan Keating & Burt Bacharach - When Ronan Met Burt
When little Ronan was, well, little he dreamed of one day working with Burt.
Ronan grew up and his dream came true. Backed by a full orchestra, the duo recorded an album featuring classics composed by Burt over the years.
Just try tell us your mum will be able to resist the revamped versions of great pop masterpieces like 'Walk On By', 'The Look Of Love', 'What The World Needs Now Is Love' and 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself'.
It's the perfect gift for mum because: Ronan's a cutie and Burt is a living pop legend!
Various Artists – When I First Met Your Ma
Last but not least - what would be more fitting for Mother's Day than an album that pays tribute to mothers!
Australia's finest musicians celebrate motherhood and relationships by singing songs new and old on the "When I First Met Your Ma" compilation.
Paul Kelly, Julia Stone, John Butler Trio, Washington, Clare Bowditch, Bertie Blackman, Katy Steele, Gurrumul, Oh Mercy and many more lend their lungs to this unique and breathtaking album.
It's the perfect gift for mum because: Piano, country, ukulele, young and old – there's something for every mood.
We've picked out the gifts and we'd love to finish the job and get them for you too.
