Mother’s Day Gift Guide
#ad – contains press samples
Mother’s Day is fast approaching – a day where we can all take a moment to say thank you to the Mum’s and mother figures in our lives. If you are a Mum yourself, it’s also the perfect day to have a bit of appreciation for what can often feel a thankless task!
Us Mums have a bloody hard job juggling all of our parenting responsibilities, and so for just one day a year, it’s nice to take a moment to say thank you to our Mothers, Mother in Laws and Mother figures, and treat them to something special.
If you’re needing a bit of inspiration on what to buy your Mum this Mother’s Day (or even what to drop not so subtle hints for yourself) here are a few ideas to wet your whistle!
For the Mum who wants to wrap up from the cold…
With the weather changing between snow and storms to torential rain and heatwaves on a fairly regular basis, it’s hard to know what to wear and you can never be too prepared! This adalwolf steel hat from Buff with pom pom is super soft and ideal for those chilly morning walks and costs £34.25.
For the Mum with a caring touch…
Mums’ hands definitely get put through their paces, wiping snotty noses, changing nappies, running baths and doing household chores. SEAMS handcream absorbs instantly, is non greasy, and is a MUST for very dry, rough or distressed hands. Seams handcream is known for its mending, softening, and deeply moisturising properties and a 75ml cream costs £14.
For the Mum who deserves a treat..
Ask a Mum what they REALLY want for Mother’s Day and things like sleep, relaxation, some “me time” or some time alone with their other half may be quite high up their agenda! Red Letter Days have a wide range of gift experiences that allow your Mum to choose the experience that appeals to them the most. From short breaks to pamper days or even a dining experience for two, you can be confident that whatever she chooses will be an enjoyable day out together with their partner or a friend.
We love their new Glossybox Subscription gift – the kind of present that your Mum wouldn’t justify treating herself to, but that would be really gratefully received. This 12 month subscription to Glossybox means your Mum will receive a monthly box of skincare, haircare and beauty goodies – each including a minimum of five unique products every month worth at least £50.
For the Mum on the go…
For Mum’s who are always rushing around or grabbing lunch on the go, this reusable and sleek stainless steel travel cutlery and straw set comes all conveniently packaged together making it easy to transport on road trips, to the office or when heading out with the kids. The set includes a knife, fork and spoon, as well as retractable stainless steel straw with cleaning brush.
The Munchd set comes in a secure and hygienic box that ensures it won’t rattle plus its made from high-quality stainless steel that’s designed to last. With single use cuttlery set to be banned, there’s never been a better time to buy!
To allow her to have the purest water on the go, you could also consider a Waatr UV-C Bottle from Zerowater.co.uk. These innovative 500ml bottles use ultraviolet light to kill harmful bacteria that can be found in regular tap water, ensuring its filtered and safe to drink. It also has insulation technology that will keep her drinks cold for up to 24 hrs or hot for up to 12!
For the Mum who enjoys a tipple
Spring is on it’s way (although granted it might not feel like it) and after a busy day at work or parenting, there’s no better treat than an ice cold glass of cider in the (hopeful) late afternoon sunshine.
We love this Cranes Cider gift set that contain three flavours of cider including Cranberries & Limes, Raspberries & Pomegranates and Blueberries & Apples, along with a branded Cranes Pint Glass. The set costs just £16.99 and is available for next day delivery with Amazon Prime.
For the Mum who loves her chocolate…
For larger size hampers with enough chocolate for Mum to share with the family, the Cadbury’s Mothers Day Chocolate Hamper is ideal – contents include a Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘I love you’ sleeved bar, Cadbury Roses box, an organza chocolate filled bag alongside all a collection of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bars. Delivered with love in a handpacked Cadbury embossed purple Gift Box. Choose the ‘To my mum’ gift card at the checkout and write your own special message for your Mother’s Day gift!
To help them keep track of all those reminders:
Is your Mum forever forgetting things like Bin Day, Dentists appointments or even various different assemblies or clubs? These super cute fridge magnets from Kikkerland are ideal for popping on the fridge to remind her whilst making her morning coffee. We love the range of funny yet surprisingly accurate yoga poses!
To personalise her work space:
Does your Mum’s workspace need a bit of brightening up? These Ivy Leaf String lights are powered by USB, allowing her to plug them into her laptop before decorating her monitor or computer screen. There’s over 10 feet of ivy here, with a variety of animation settings from a subtle glow to flashing and pulsing. Perfect for a desk or book shelf! Available at Kikkerland.
I hope the above has given you some ideas on what your Mum may like to receive this Mother’s Day. Whilst I can’t help you get that hour back, I can at least make your shopping choices that little bit easier! 🙂
Which of these would your Mum like to receive?
