Mother’s Day has become a double celebration for me since having children. Not only do I get to celebrate my own mum (and Ed’s wonderful mum as well), but I also get to be spoilt by my own children, especially now that they are growing up and wanting to put effort and thought into what they give me more. I have put together this Mother’s Day Gift Guide for inspiration, or for you to leave out to hint to your partner or kids….
Sheet Maks
If mum loves her skincare, these Bio-Cellulose Sheet Masks are sure to go down well! They are brilliant for tired, overworked mums who desperately need a bit of TLC as they help to brighten, moisturise, smooth and soften fine lines. Best used alongside an LED light mask!
Bears for Life
If you are looking for a sentimental gift for mum this year, look no further than Blue Bear & Co, who have the perfect Bears for Life. Founded in memory of Nicola’s son Charlie, these bears can offer comfort and connection for those who are missing someone, or can be personalised by kids for mum to treasure forever. The popular Brown Bear can include a soothing heartbeat, a personal voice message and a scent-infused plush heart, making them meaningful gift for mothers.
Plant Care
Is mum green fingered? Treat her to a Willow starter kit, featuring award-winning tech for indoor plant care! Willow monitors key factors affecting a plant’s health, taking out the guesswork and providing simple notifications to keep plants not only alive, but thriving. The free to download app is super simple to use and the starter pack is available for just £34.99.
Cocktail Making Essentials
If mum likes a cocktail, why not pick up some essentials for her to get creative and make some at home? Opies have a vast selection of goodies to choose from including Cocktail Cherries, which make a fantastic garnish for many cocktails, Mini Gherkins (Dirty Martini), Slice Lemons (perfect for a Tom Collins) and Coconut Cream (if she loves a Pina Colada!). All are vegan friendly and available to purchase online, with recipe ideas available too!
Allergen Free Chocolate
PLAYin CHOC has become my go-to for allergen free chocolate, especially for children as they have such cute designs. I am obsessed with these JustChoc packs though, which would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift, if you can stop yourself from scoffing them! The packaging is also plastic-free, which is another bonus!
New Forest Fruit Snacks
A great alternative to chocolates for mum, why not gift her something equally cute and yummy. These New Forest Fruit Snacks are sustainable, vegan and gluten free (as well as being naturally low in calories too). They are made from ‘wonky’ strawberries and raspberries that would have otherwise gone to food waste. I love that this is a local brand to me too, always a fan of supporting local!
Spirit Tasting Set
How amazing is this Thank You Mum Tasting Set by Drinks by the Dram, available from Master of Malt? I love how beautifully it is packaged up, making it the perfect gift for a mum who enjoys a tipple, and likes trying different drinks! Such a unique gift idea too. If mum prefers a certain spirit, they also come in individual sets.
Faith in Nature
Faith in Nature have some gorgeously designed (and amazing smelling) products including their hand & body lotion, body wash and hand wash. They would make a lovely, thoughtful gift for mum that she’d be proud to display in the bathroom.
Personalised Star Print
I really love personalised gift ideas and this Night You Became My Mummy Framed Print is so thoughtful, especially for a new mum. You can personalise the date, and the star map is based on the location of baby’s birth, which is such a nice touch and makes it a gift she will really cherish.
Houseplant
Ok but can we just take a moment for how gorgeous this Peach Anthurium (the Flamingo Flower) is? It comes packaged up so nicely to keep it safe and in one piece in the post, and even has a white pot to display it in your mum’s home right away. The peach colour is so pretty and sure to brighten up mum’s day! Great news is, this plant is actually really easy to care for, and you can even add an optional extra gift to your order like mini prosecco, chocolate or a candle!
Yoto Music
We love our Yoto Player and I really like how we can keep adding to the collection with the sound cards. This Olivia Dean ‘The Art of Loving’ card is suitable for the whole family, but I can definitely see mum taking some time to herself and relaxing in the bath listening to this!
Scented Candle
I am a huge fan of a scented candle and this Verden one, available from W-Wellness, in an orange blossom scent smells incredible, and is packaged up so nicely too. It would make a gorgeous gift for mum (but be warned, you may end up treating yourself to one too…).
LUSH Gifts
LUSH are always going above and beyond when it comes to their themed seasonal gifts and they’ve outdone themselves with the Blooming Marvelous Mum set, which is stuffed full of bath time treats that will ensure she is able to pamper herself plenty! My personal faves are the Up, Up and Away bath bomb and the Avo-Cuddle bubble bar, so totally cute! I also adore the Rose Jam candle, such a sweet scent, and LUSH candles are brilliant to have on display around the house too.
Do let me know which products caught your eye, or if you purchased anything for mum, or for you…
