Treat a New Mum With This Amazing Mother's Day Gift

Mother’s Day is THIS WEEKEND, people.

If you still haven’t organised a gift for the new mums in your life, though, never fear. It’s not too late. Just in time for Mother’s Day, two extremely luxe homegrown brands have released an exclusive, limited edition gift pack.

Non X Maison Balzac Mother's Day Gift Packs

The set includes a limited edition candle and zero per cent wine. They have been carefully designed to be enjoyed together for the ultimate sensorial experience. With a nod to the aromas and feelings of autumn, this relaxing trio is ideal for celebrating the cooler months. The autumnal notes in both the candle and the wine include mandarin, thyme and Earl Grey—a bit zesty, a bit warm, all delicious.

To highlight the immersion into the relaxation, the brands commissioned a digital mixtape from Melbourne music producer Alex Albrecht of Analogue Attic (accessed through a QR code on the pack) to act as a soundtrack.

Where to Find The Gift Packs

As small, Australian-born companies, both NON and Maison Balzac understand the importance of supporting local, and the packs will only be available in smaller bottle shops. You can find the gift packs at Blackhearts and Sparrows across the country, Winona Wine in NSW and Wine Republic in Melbourne.

A Little Background

Elise Pioch, founder of Maison Balzac, says of the collaboration: “The minute we created the NON candle in our studio, we opened the drink, poured it into our colourful glasses and slowly sipped on the beverage while smelling the candle. It was a memorable experience.

“The drink is fresh, dry and grounding, the salt enhances the notes of lemon while the candle further develops the scent of mandarin and somehow also grapefruit. Together they made our brain go fizzy, it was like smelling the skin of a wild mandarin while biting on a citrus seed.”

NON was founded in Melbourne in 2019 by ex-Noma chef William Wade and his business partner Aaron Trotman, who saw the growing demand for interesting and complex alcohol-free options for restaurants and bars. Inspired by Wade’s experience making juice-based zero-alcohol alternatives at Noma, the pair created a complex and interesting wine-style drink that can be paired with food or sipped at a bar—no more lemon, lime and bitters for Dry July.

Maison Balzac was started in Sydney by Pioch, inspired by her childhood in the South of France. She named the brand after her grandparents, Jeanine and André Balzac, whose sense of style she often cites. She works with designers and fragrance masters from around the world to create a range of homewares and candles that are beautiful and evocative.

If there’s a mum in your life who deserves something lovely this Mother’s Day, this pack is a great start. Go on, spoil her.
