Mother’s Day has a different history and a different day, depending on where you are in the
world. In the UK, it’s the fourth Sunday in Lent and it’s called Mothering Sunday, an
originally medieval festival that celebrated the “Mother Church”. Mongolian Mother’s Day
shares the day with Children’s Day on June 1st which sounds nice, but also just feels like
Mum wouldn’t really get much of the day to herself. Ethiopia has a three day feast at the
end of the rainy season - much more our style! Other countries combine it with International
Women’s Day on March 8th and really double down on shouting out and cheering on the
excellent women in their lives.
Here in Australia, it all started in around 1910, but it didn’t really catch on until the
1920s. And then in 1924, gifts became part of the celebration, when an absolute legend by
the name of Janet Heyden began to collect presents for the women in Sydney’s Newington State
Home. She saw that many of them had lost husbands and sons in World War One and wanted to
make sure they still felt loved and appreciated. She put out a call for help in some local
newspapers and the gifts just started rolling in. We’re not crying, there’s just something
in our eye.
We’re not entirely sure what our mate Ms Heyden would think of OUR Mother’s Day cards, but
we’re certain she’d love that the tradition of celebrating mums and all they do for us is
still going strong a century later!
What makes Spicy Baboon’s Mother’s Day cards different?
Well, you already know we’re the place to go for funny Mother’s Day cards – why else
would you be here? But Spicy Baboon’s cards and gifts hit different for a few other
reasons too.
Numero uno, we’re an Aussie company!
That’s right – we’ve got Aussie designers, Aussie printers, and an Aussie HQ! Supporting
homegrown businesses is more important than ever these days, so when you buy from Spicy
Baboon you can rest assured that your money is supporting local baboons right here in
Brisbane.
Reason number two, we only use top tier materials for our products, including our
Mother’s Day cards.
All of our cards are printing on high-grade paper, using quality ink, meaning they not
only look great but they’ll stand tall on your mum’s mantlepiece for ages. Honestly,
they look so good she might even want to frame them – though we’re not sure what her
friends would make of some of the jokes.
We’re great value for money too.
You’d think all that quality would come at a cost, but if there’s one thing the world
knows about Aussies is that we’re a friendly bunch, and we used all our loveable
larrikin charm to build great relationships with our suppliers. That means we get the
best materials at the best prices, and we’re able to pass on those savings straight onto
you. At Spicy Baboon, you can shop easy, knowing we’ve got you covered with high
quality, hilarious gifts, at reasonable prices. You’ll definitely have plenty left over
for a bottle of wine for Mum – unless we can tempt you with a few of our gifts instead?
Did we mention we’re funny?
We’re sure it’s come up once or twice, but in case you missed it, here’s a reminder:
we’re here to make you laugh. Shopping with Spicy Baboon means you’ll be able to choose
from some of the funniest and most unique designs out there, inspired by pop culture,
memes, and some really bad puns, and all designed by our Aussie-based team. Your mum
will love her Spicy Baboon card – and if she doesn’t, at least you got a kick out it,
right?
A few of our favourite Mother’s Day cards
All our cards are blank inside so you can write your own message – sorry we can’t do all
the hard work for you – and also come with an envelope, which is doubly cool if you’re
the kind of person who still sends letters through the post.
We’ve got quite the selection of Mother’s Day cards – here’s a few we think you (and
your mum) will really like.
You’re Not a Regular Mum, You’re a COOL Mum
Pay tribute to both one of cinema’s most iconic cool mums and your own with this Mean
Girls inspired card! This design is also available on t-shirts, hoodies, stubby coolers
and more, so why not put together an entire June George inspired gift set?
You’re The Schitt
Let Mum know you think she’s the absolute Schitt with this card, bébé. And remember,
when one of us shines, all of us shine!
Mum You Are My Rock
Everyone loves The Rock. Why should your mum be any different? Celebrate Rocks both
emotional and physical with this design featuring Dwayne in all his turtleneck and chain
glory.
Cheers to you Mum
If you can’t get actual Leo DiCaprio raising a glass to your mum, then this card
inspired by that scene in The Great Gatsby is the next best thing. (No offence to your
mum, but she’s probably bit old for Leo anyway).
Simply The Best
If you’re looking for a reference your mum is guaranteed to get (we get it, not everyone
has your exquisite taste), look no further than this card featuring one of Queen Tina
Turner’s most iconic numbers! It’s so good, you can almost HEAR it.
Endless Thank You Mum prank card
On the surface, it’s a simple, elegant card, with a heartfelt message for your mum. On
the inside however…
Once opened, Mum has a choice to make. Endure the (almost) endless screaming of “Mum,
Mum, Mum!” emanating from the card, or tear it apart and send glitter everywhere.
Decisions, decisions. (Only buy this if you’re the youngest sibling or you’re certain
you’re the favourite – the consequences could be disastrous!)
Mother’s Day Endless Mum, Mummy, Mumma! prank card
Your mum deserves a day off, even if it's only a day off from the dishes, rather than a
day off from your bullsh*t! This is another of our prank card options, because why annoy
the crap out of your mum once, when you can do it two years running?! Comes complete
with looping “Mum, Mummy, Mumma!” sound effect and a terrifying amount of glitter.
We’re more than just Mother’s Day cards!
If you thought all we were good for was making funny cards, think again! We’ve got a
huge range of Mother’s Day gifts for you to choose from too. Some can even be
personalised to really show your mum how much you care. Here’s a few we think your mum
will love!
Favourite child Mother’s Day mug
She says she doesn’t have a favourite but we all know she’s lying. Cement your spot in
the family pecking order with one of our mugs featuring… well, your mug (and your
siblings’) Available in one, two, and three sibling options, it’s a sure-fire way to let
Mum know you know, and flex on everyone else at the same time. Win/win.
Hornbag stubby holder
Kath, Kim, and a disco ball background on a stubby holder? It’s noice, it’s different,
it’s unusual, and your mum is gonna love it. This fantastic design is also available on
other items too, just in case your mum prefers a cardonnay over a stubby.
Mum, Wife, F*cking Legend hoodie
Show the world how good Mum is with this comfy hoodie, and maybe shock a few old biddies
with some vulgar language in the process. Or just let her slob around the house in it;
God knows she’s bloody earned a rest! Also available in tees and tank tops, for when
summer be summer-ing.
Bandit Hall Pass collection
If you’d have told us a couple of years ago, we’d all be going feral for a cartoon blue
heeler, well… honestly 2020/2021 was a weird time. Along the way Bluey’s Bandit somehow
became the ultimate DILF – women are attracted to good dads, who knew? – and so we
simply had to put together a design that celebrated our favourite furry daddy. Available
on crop tees, tanks, stubby coolers and more!
Mummy Shark t-shirt
Honestly, we only included this so it would get stuck in your head. Sorry not sorry.
Altogether now: Mummy shark doo doo doo doo doo!
