The Mother’s Day EDIT: A champagne gifting guide to celebrate all wonderful women
As Bette Davis would say,
‘There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne’.
This Mother’s Day (Sunday 8 May), show your appreciation for mum and the amazing women in your life with a champagne gift box filled with artisanal grower champagne and champagne glassware from France.
At Sally Hillman, we understand that gift-giving is imbued with emotional meaning and personal touch to create a long-lasting impression on your loved ones. It is a meaningful task that requires care, time and thoughtful attention, and the heartfelt joy and connection it brings is an invaluable gift in itself. Your joy is our joy, and we are here to help create beautiful and inspiring moments that will be cherished and remembered forever this Mother’s Day.
For the first time in two years, many of us will be celebrating Mother’s Day with long-awaited home visits and personal deliveries of gifts and treats to the important women in our lives. Make the occasion extra special with Sally Hillman’s champagne celebration gifting guide!
Choose from a selection of artisanal grower champagnes and exclusive Sally Hillman accessories; elegant champagne gift sets beautifully wrapped and ready to give; luxurious Lehmann Glassware; tickets to Sally Hillman’s upcoming champagne dinner Expériences; and a year-long membership to Mes amis, Sally Hillman’s monthly champagne subscription service.
Sally Hillman’s champagne gift sets
Express your gratitude with a champagne gift set that’s beautifully wrapped and ready to be shipped anywhere across Australia. Every gift set and hamper arrives in a personalised gift box, exquisitely presented with our elegant and discreet gold ribbon and a handwritten message. Add peace of mind to your gifting, knowing that each of our carefully curated gift boxes offers more value than each item purchased separately.
For Mother’s Day, we recommend pairing a beautiful bouquet of flowers from your local florist with a special champagne gift box of champagne rosé for the ultimate indulgence.
Channelling the colour of celebration, champagne rosés span the full spectrum of glowy red hues—from the softest, blush pink to salmon and crimson—its supple, smooth mouthfeel pairing perfectly with a delicious Mother’s Day lunch or berry-based desserts. Discover our favourite champagne rosés for gifting in Le Shop today!

Sally Hillman’s seasonal champagne events and Expériences
Sally Hillman offers bespoke Expériences that are elegant, fun and memorable for all. Providing a joyful opportunity to socialise with friends and family while learning about Champagne, these experiences are designed to bring everyone together over intimate tastings of carefully selected champagnes. A ticket to one of Sally’s upcoming champagne events is the perfect Mother’s Day gift that mum can look forward to attending with you!
Sally Hillman’s specialty lies in seeking out and sharing exclusive grower-producer champagnes whose diversity and personality are as individualistic and celebrated as the passionate vignerons who produce them from their fascinating terroir. Integral to the Sally Hillman champagne Expérience is learning to recognise these differences and to appreciate the subtleties while enjoying a soirée chez nous with roaming canapés or a convivial, seated three- or four-course meal.
