Top 10 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
From carefully curated hampers and fresh flowers to bespoke personalised presents and special days out, we’ve put together a list of the top Mother’s Day gift ideas to surprise and delight.
1: Flowers
A bunch of fresh flowers is the most traditional Mother’s Day gift. Colourful, fragrant and emotive, flowers have been given for centuries to express love and admiration. Seasonal spring flowers are sustainable and plentiful and make the most beautiful bouquets. You can ask a local florist to create a fresh bunch or make your own hand-tied posy using supermarket or garden blooms.
You can also buy a longer-lasting floral gift like a potted orchid or garden rose which will bloom each year. Whatever you choose, flowers are guaranteed to put a smile on your Mum’s face and brighten her home.
2: Afternoon Tea
Foodie gifts are always appreciated and what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with a deliciously extravagant afternoon tea? Spoil her with sandwiches and scones in a scenic setting and enjoy each other’s company. Many restaurants and hotels offer special afternoon tea packages and alcoholic versions for an extra special touch.
If you can’t take your Mum out to tea, most restaurants and cafes offer a takeaway option so she can enjoy a delicious treat from the comfort of home.
3: Scented goodies
Gifts that smell gorgeous are always a good idea. Whether your Mum prefers sweetly scented candles, wax melts, a favourite perfume or heavenly scented bath bombs, there’s a vast range of scented gifts to suit all budgets.
4: Personalised gifts
Express your appreciation with a unique, personalised Mother’s Day gift. From jewellery that’s engraved with names, dates or a special message, personalised planters, and photo gifts to bespoke keyrings, bookmarks and keepsake boxes, the options for personalising gifts are endless. We think this is one of the best ways to remind your Mum how loved she is.
5: Spa Day
A day at the spa will relax, rejuvenate and revive. Spa treatments like massages, body wraps and facials are known to help ease aches and pains, improve sleep and boost circulation – it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Most spas offer a wide range of treatments from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures. You can choose specific treatments for your mum or buy gift vouchers. You can also buy flexible spa gift cards, allowing her to choose the location, time and treatments.
6: A foodie hamper
Edible gifts always rate highly and few could be more welcome than a lovingly created hamper. Choose a selection of delicious goodies and present them in an attractive and useful wicker basket.
Some creative hamper ideas include a savoury mix with artisan cheeses, biscuits and wine, sweet hampers with cakes, handmade chocolates and luxury hot chocolate and a mixture of the two. You can also make smaller hampers filled with favourite sweets and chocolates.
7: A pamper hamper
Sticking with the hamper theme, why not put together a few items for the ultimate pamper night in? You could include face and foot masks, a pretty nail varnish, scented candles, lip balm and body moisturiser and a luxurious bubble bath. Top it off with a satin eyemask and a lavender pillow spray for the perfect night’s sleep.
8: Stylish basics
If you’re struggling for Mother’s Day gift ideas, simple, yet stylish basics are always a winner. Treat your Mum to a pair of soft snuggly slippers, luxurious cashmere socks, a silk scarf in a statement colour, a new pair of gloves or a fabulous new bag. All simple gifts that are both thoughtful and useful.
9: Dinner out
Going out for a meal is always a treat, especially when it’s with loved ones. Take her to dinner at her favourite restaurant or try somewhere she’s always wanted to visit.
You could also recreate her favourite meal at home, there’s something extra special about being cooked for.
10. Gift an experience
For the ultimate treat, you can gift an experience, rather than a physical item. Gift experiences can include anything from a trip to the theatre or a perfume, gin or jewellery-making workshop to a luxury hotel break or Stand Up Paddleboarding session.
Mother’s Day gift experiences offer the chance to make memories and try something new and there is a wide range of experiences to suit all budgets, tastes and ages.
