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 like 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 need some 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 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 morning rush
If your Mum prefers her an ice cold drink to start her morning rather than a hot coffee or is heading to the office for work, these Thermos Icon Straw Cups will be just the ticket. Available in 5 colours, this 710ml travel tumbler will keep her favourite drinks cold for up to 22 hours! Made from BPA-free 18/8 stainless steel with a non slip base, it’s dishwasher-safe design couldn’t be easier to clean.
For the cosy mums
For the ultimate gift of comfort and calm, the range of pyjamas and slippers from Boux Avenue is sure to be well received by us Mums. From trendy short style sets to full-length cosy pyjamas, you’ll find super soft and stylish designs to suit every personality. With a super lightweight, relaxed fit and affordable price tag, we love this cherry set and fluffy slippers – ideal for lounging around the home all year round.
For the Mum who loves to shop
It can be really hard for your partner and children to know what to buy for Mother’s Day. Whilst surprise gifts are always well received, sometimes it’s refreshing to pick something for yourself, something that you wouldn’t always feel justified treating yourself to under normal circumstances.
Gift cards can be an obvious choice, but they normally limit the recipient to one or two retailers, which is always a concern in the current state of the economy. The Prezee gift card is different, in that the recipient can select where they spend the card, from a choice of over 200 brands! With a choice of physical cards (or digital if you are shopping at the last minute!), you can top up the card with anything from £10 – £200. When your Mum opens the card, she can select where to shop – whether that’s a meal out, a new outfit or the latest thriller from Waterstones.
For the Mum who loves making memories
As a Mum, there is nothing that makes me happier than capturing precious memories of our family with my camera. So much so in fact, that the current photo count on my camera roll is 52,695 – and no, I’m not joking!
The days of printing off photo albums to show friends and family when they visit are long gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t showcase photo memories in your home.
VIstaprint has a many photo gift options to choose from, all of which allow you to share and enjoy your photos in really unique ways. As they can be completely personalised, not only with images but with text and personal messages too, you can completely tailor the gift to your recipient, in this case, photos of a Mum and her babies – something she can treasure forever!
For the Mum who deserves a pamper
Many mums spend so looking after the kids and juggling everything that indulgent self-care falls to the bottom of the list. This March, LUSH has a fab range of pampering sets and bath bombs to give your Mum some much needed me time. We love these MUM-themed bath bombs, including Avo-Cuddle, Mum’s the word and Mama Bear. For an extra special treat – the limited edition Wallflower gift comes with a floral bath bomb and best selling Dream cream, presented in stunning vintage floral packaging!
Prices start at just £4.50.
If your Mum is forever topping up her mascara, why not give nature a helping hand with the Eyelash enhancing serum from RapidLash.? Designed to voost your natural lash appearance, your Mum can expect results in as little as 8 weeks, with longer, fuller-looking lashes when she wears mascara.
As someone known to overpluck my eyebrows, the eyebrow-enhancing serum is also a great way to achieve thicker, fuller-looking brows.
Both items are available at Boots, Sephora, Amazon or RapidLash
Say it with flowers
I personally love being treated to flowers – especially in Spring when all the new blooms appear. 123 Flowers have a huge range of affordable bouquets for Mother’s Day – all with free UK delivery! With beautiful shades and flowers from lilies to tulips, these bouquets are a delight to unbox as a surprise!
I hope the above has given you some ideas on what your Mum would 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 a little bit easier! 🙂
Which of these would your Mum like to receive?
